In this deep and contemplative message, Master Woo Myung teaches that everything we know—our thoughts, actions, abilities, and even our understanding of the world—only exists if it exists within the mind. But the human mind is false, built on illusion and memories.
Only when this false mind is discarded and replaced with the mind of Truth, can one be reborn in the Land of Truth, where eternal life and true existence reside. Through Santa Clara Meditation, we can cleanse our minds, develop true ability, humility, and virtue—and have everything that truly exists within us.
What does not exist within the mind does not exist
All that exists in this world only exists when they exist within the mind, and they do not exist if they do not exist within the mind. The human mind is an illusionary mind that does not exist. When you discard that mind, have the mind of the world that is Truth and real, and are born again in that land, that land is the Land of Truth. It is when this itself exists within your mind that you can live eternally. You can only speak, act, and live according to what you have in that mind. Just as such, what does not exist in the mind does not exist. One who has ability in the mind is humble and has virtue, and he will be able to live well. In order to have those in your mind, you must cleanse your mind; and you must learn in order to have them.
The mind that has become Truth can have it all. You should discard the false mind so that you can have it all within your mind.
