๐ INTRODUCTION
โจ Humanity has reached a turning point โ the age of discarding has begun. ๐ฟ
In this powerful declaration, Master Woo Myung explains that man has long lived in pursuit of possession, trying to fill his mind with desires and attachments.
But no matter how much one possesses, satisfaction and happiness never come, because the false self continues to demand more.
Now is the time to discard the self, the time to empty the human mind, so that one may recover the original nature and live as Truth itself. ๐
When one discards everything he has โeatenโ into his mind โ all greed, inferiority, and regret โ
he becomes Godโs mind, the Soul and Spirit that live eternally in wisdom and peace.
๐ ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Time of Discarding Oneโs Self When Man Can Fulfill Human Completion Has Begun
Man is born with a mind that wants to possess, so he seeks satisfaction and happiness through possession. However, there is no end to such means; ultimately, he cannot be satisfied or happy.
All greed arises from his mind of inferiority and when he is not able to have or achieve what he wants, this turns into feelings of regret and bitterness. Only when he discards his greed, will those feelings of regret and bitterness truly disappear.
Until now, man has lived trying to possess what he can because of his mind that wants to make everything his. At present, this is the way all people live.
The world is in a state of instability; people have lost their trust in each other and they live struggling to appease their feelings of inferiority. Rather than learning how to possess more, in this age learning how not to possess is the way to become complete and live a better life. This is because instead of just thinking that we must discard money in our minds, we will be able to carry it out into action.
A mind full of greed is always anguished; and a life lived following oneโs anguish is without action; it is a life with thoughts leading only to more thoughts.
If the past was the age of adding to oneโs mind, now is the age of discarding what is in his mind. A person who discards his minds in this time will recover his original nature. Consequently, the whole human race will become one and the world will become complete because everyone will live for others and the world.
Human completion is becoming Godโs mind by discarding all of oneโs own minds. One will then be able to live well for he will have wisdom and his mind that is the Soul and Spirit will live eternally.
Discarding all human mind โ all the mind one has, that he has โeatenโ โ is completion.

๐ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, this new era of discarding the self is already unfolding. ๐ฑ
Here, practitioners learn to let go of everything they have accumulated in their minds โ all thoughts, emotions, greed, and fears.
As one discards, the true self, which is the Universe and Truth, naturally emerges.
This is the age of completion, when mankind will awaken to oneness and live for others and the world.
To discard the self is to fulfill the purpose of human life โ to live as Truth eternal. ๐
