INTRODUCTION
✨ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung redefines what it means to be alive. While people believe they are alive simply because their bodies exist, in reality, human beings are dead if they are trapped in their false, illusionary minds. 🌌
True life is not found in preconceptions or habits but in being born into the world of Truth. To be alive is to live with the eternal mind of the Universe—a life that does not die. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
To Be Alive
Man believes that what is in the world is alive and what is not in the world or what has disappeared is dead. In fact, it is people, humans, who are dead. Man is dead because he is not one with the eternal mind of the world. He is trapped inside his own mind, within his preconceptions and habits, formed by taking pictures of countless things from his illusionary mind world.
Man continuously makes illusions by putting the world and all that happens in the world inside him. His thoughts, his very ways of thinking, are wrong because he lives inside these illusions. Therefore, his thought that he is alive is also wrong. Anything in the world that is seen from man’s perspective is wrong. When one sees from the perspective of the world, the perspective of Truth, he can know that when people die, they die forever. One must be born in the world of Truth in order to become a person who is alive – a person who does not die.
Being alive means one has been born in the true world, and being dead means one does not exist in the true world.
– Woo Myung
