π‘ INTRODUCTION
What does it truly mean to know Truth? π According to Master Woo Myung, Truth is paradoxically the state of not knowing. When we let go of our human concepts, accumulated knowledge, and individual attachments, we reach the profound foundation that knows nothing, yet from which the whole of creation exists.
πΏ We often separate our physical selves from the world, but the one Mind and the Universe are never separate from us. Our true mind and Body are the Universe itself. When we transcend the illusion of our individual self-existence, we realize that existence and non-existence are the same, and this entire beautiful existence is truly the world of the Mind. β¨

Truth
Truth – there is nothing to know; what could there be for you to know when you do not know it? Not knowing is Truth, and so you should not know. But it is not easy living life without knowing anything. What you must know is to not know.
That Truth – the foundation – knows nothing means that it is a state that has always existed. It is a state that man has always sought to know, only to find that he does not know it once he reaches it.
It is amidst the state of not knowing that the whole of creation exists. To not know is to know; thus what βdΕ (Truth)β knows is entirely different from anything man knows. So dΕ neither knows nor not knows; it does not know when it knows, nor does it not know when it does not know. It is amidst the dΕβs absence of knowing that all creations exist; to not know is to know. For sure, such a thing is difficult for the human mind to grasp.
The whole of creation is born from the one Mind, and to it it returns. The Mind is absent of any attachments that are individual. It is a non-existent Mind in which the images of all creations exist. Human life does not exist as reality, but because man exists, it exists. Man originally had the non-existent Mind, but later he came to have his own mind – a mind born of his body due to his sense of individual self-existence.
Though the Body and the Mind are the same, man separates the two. Manβs true mind is the Universe, and so is his body; Thus the Mind and Body are the Universe, which is why this Body is one and the same as the true form of the Mind, which is the Universe itself.
The Body is the Mind. Though the Mind is non-existence, the whole of creation and all deeds are born of it, which is why life itself is also the Mind. The Mind is neither existent nor non-existent, but is the whole; it is the representation of the non-existent Universe. Existence and non-existence are the same; thus there is only one Mind, and this Mind is the whole of creation. So though the Mind is originally non-existent, all objects and this original Mind are not separate. Therefore this world is the world of the Mind.
