✨ INTRODUCTION

In this illuminating passage, Master Woo Myung explains that just as physical light allows the world to exist, Truth’s Light allows real life, wisdom, and existence itself. 🌿

He reveals that this Light is not outside, but within the mind, and that becoming one with this Light is the path to completion, wisdom, and eternal life.

ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Light I

Not a single creation in this world would exist
in the absence of light.
Likewise, not a single person would be able to live
in the absence of Truth’s Light.
The world would be in darkness
in the absence of light.
Likewise, man would be lost in darkness
in the absence of Truth’s Light,
for there would be no wisdom.
There would be no existence
in the absence of light.
Likewise, there would be no existence
in the absence of Truth’s Light.
The world would be pitch dark
in the absence of light.
Likewise, the world would be pitch dark
in the absence of Truth’s Light.
Life would have no meaning or significance
in the absence of light.
Likewise, life would have no meaning or significance
in the absence of Truth’s Light.
There can be no life without light.
Likewise there can be no life in the absence of Truth’s Light.

This Light is in man’s mind.
This Light is the Truth in man’s mind.
This Light is the everlasting and never-dying God,
which is the true life in man’s mind.
The whole of this universe is alive in the Land of Truth;
it is alive because it is Light.
Truth is alive.
Truth is Light.
He who has this Light lives in the Land of Light.
Life exists for there is light.
Likewise, true life exists for there is Truth’s Light.

Man lives and exists because Light exists.
The same can be said for all creations.
The source of life exists,
and this living source is oneself.
The Land of Light is the place that is alive
and where there is no death.
And it is only when one is reborn in this Land’s Light
that there is no death there,
and it is the eternal and never-dying Land.
He who has been born in the Land of Light while he is alive
will live there forever absent of death
together with the whole of creation.

This Light is the consciousness of the Creator.
This Light is the Creator Himself.
This Light allows all creations to know.
This Light knows everything and thus brings forth wisdom.
Wisdom is knowledge of Truth.
Wisdom is Truth’s Light.
Wisdom can be had only by one who has this true Light.
The place of wisdom knows nothing for it is wisdom itself.
It is the place where all kleshas and delusions are cut off.
The Light of the Creator exists as it is because it is perfect.
He who has received the third eye
is one who has this true Light in him.
He who has received the third eye
is true Light itself.
He is one who has become the true Light
and will thus live even after he is dead
and is alive even when he is living;
he will know no death.
This Light is the eternal and undying God.
This Light will not die and will exist as it is.
A man who is born again as this true Light
is this Light that is perfect.
As such, even though his body may be no more,
Energy and Light would be his eternal immortal being
and thus he would live in the eternal and everlasting Land.

The previous age was one of incompletion,
but now the age of completion has begun.
Completion is the state in which a person has become
one with the omniscient and omnipotent Creator.
Incompletion is separateness from the Creator.
There is not a single person
who can live without becoming one with the Creator.
Completion is the state in which one has become
the eternal and never-dying God who is Truth,
and for which the age wherein such completion takes place is
the age of completion.
To be complete means to have achieved all.
And to have achieved all means
to have become the omniscient and omnipotent Creator.
Now is the age of completion.
Until now the complete being was
talked about, learned about, or heard about,
but the time for man to become that complete being has come.
Human completion is the state in which one is free of
his selfish, self-centered false mind, which he is attached to.
Jesus said that
there was not one person in the world who was righteous.
What he meant was there was no one who was complete.
Only the Creator is complete.
Human completion is the state in which
one has become free of oneself
and has become one with the Creator.
To be one with the Creator means
to wholly hand over oneself to the Creator and become Him.
He who has been reborn as this Creator
is one who is complete.
He is free of his own way of thinking
and is thus absent of his thought-mass
but instead has the Creator therein.
The age of incompletion was the time in which
completion could not be achieved.
The age of completion is the time in which
man becomes God, who is completion itself.
