🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ In this deeply illuminating teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that enlightenment is not an intellectual concept or an emotional realization—it is the state of becoming one with the origin itself.
To be enlightened is to awaken to the truth that your original self and the Universe are one. When you willingly unite with that origin, all separation and illusion disappear. 🌿
Enlightenment is life in its purest form—unchanging, eternal, and free. It is the realization that everything already exists as Truth, and that you, too, are that Truth. 🌼
📜 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What is Enlightenment?
It is the state in which
you have reached your original self.
Enlightenment is
the act of willingly uniting with your original self.
To become united means to become one,
and to become one means to become the origin.
To be the origin means to just exist,
but people are unable to do so
because of their own sins and karma –
they are unable to be the origin.
Thus to gain enlightenment means
for you to understand
that the origin is you and that you are the origin.
Enlightenment is life in and of itself.
Enlightenment is the knowledge of the origin
and of Truth,
whereby Truth is self-existing and unchanging.
Enlightenment is the Universe that exists as it is;
enlightenment is the act of knowing this Universe.
– Woo Myung
🌠 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners discover that enlightenment is not something to attain but to return to. 🌈
By discarding the false self—the mind filled with memories, judgments, and desires—one becomes free to experience the origin, which is the Universe itself.
In this state of union, there is no separation between self and existence. One simply is—peaceful, eternal, and complete. This is enlightenment: the life that knows Truth by being Truth. 🌸
