📖 Introduction
🌍 Throughout history, religions have spoken of salvation. They have foretold the coming of a Savior, an existence of Truth who would save the world.
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that the true meaning of salvation is not merely belief, worship, or waiting—it is transformation. Salvation is not something given externally. It is the process by which a person becomes Truth.
✨ According to Master Woo Myung, when one’s delusional self is reborn as the Energy and Light of Truth, that is salvation. Only then do eternal life and heaven truly exist.

The True Meaning of Salvation
The number of new religions in Korea rose considerably during a certain period of time, and around the world there are innumerable new religions. The ultimate message of all religions is that one day the existence of Truth will come to save the world. Buddhism told us that Maitreya will come to the world and Christianity told us that Jesus, the Savior, will come again. Other religions have also said that such an existence will come to the world. While the names used for this existence in each religion is different, the fundamental meaning behind them is that a complete existence of Truth will come and enable all people to become Truth.
New religions form when someone claims to be the Savior. Even now, many people believe and follow such people. The true meaning behind a religion is to follow the teachings of Truth. It is also to follow and believe that Truth will come to the world. The constant conflicts between religions will only come to an end when the existence of Truth finally does come.
People do not know what is true and false, because they have no wisdom. They are trapped inside their delusions and because they are unable to tell what is truly true and false, they judge whether something is right or wrong based on their experiences. If something fits their fixed conceptions, they believe it to be right and they believe everything else to be wrong. It is impossible for people to know what Truth actually is, because they live bound to their conceptions and habits.
People do not know Truth because their entire worlds are lived inside falseness, without being able to see, understand or become Truth.
Salvation is making people able to become Truth. If someone has become Truth, he has been saved. He is saved when his delusional soul is reborn as the Soul of Truth; when his delusional soul is reborn as the body and mind of the Universe’s origin: Jung and Shin, Sambhogakaya and Dharmakaya, the Holy Ghost and Holy Father, or Energy and Light itself. Without becoming the existence of Truth himself, eternal life and heaven cannot exist for him; it is death.
Salvation is to live; salvation is to become Truth; and salvation is to be reborn as the never-changing Energy and Light. It is living forever in the land of Energy and Light that is Truth.
— Woo Myung
🌠 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, salvation is understood not as passive belief, but as active transformation. 🌿
Through systematic meditation, one can discard delusional conceptions and false attachments. When the false self disappears, one is reborn as the Soul of Truth, the Energy and Light of the Universe.
Salvation is not waiting for someone else to save you.
Salvation is becoming Truth yourself.
