INTRODUCTION
π In this writing, Master Woo Myung explains that heaven and hell are not distant physical places but states of the mind.
This teaching reveals that no one can enter Heaven, the Land of Bliss, or Paradise unless the mind has become Truth and been reborn in the Kingdom of Truth. Conversely, hell is the illusionary world of the false self, where people die trapped inside their own minds. πΏ
Master Woo Myung clarifies that escaping hell does not depend on belief alone, but on discarding karma, habits, and the false body-self, and being reborn as Truth itself. β¨
π ORIGINAL WRITING BY Master Woo Myung
What Kind of Palace Is Hell, Where Is It, and What Should I Do to Not Go There?
In Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, they say that a person who has faith in Truth or faith in God, Buddha, Allah will go to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise, and a person who does not have faith will go to hell. They also say that those who do good deeds will go to Heaven, and those who do bad deeds will go to hell. We think that there are those who have gone to Heaven, the Land of Bliss and Paradise, which we have only heard of; but, the reality is completely different. The false self cannot exist in Heaven. There is no one who can go to Heaven without his mind having become Truth and having been born again as Truth in that Kingdom of Truth.
Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise is when oneβs mind becomes Truth and lives eternally because one has the Land of Truth within oneβs mind. Heaven is the world that is born again from the sky (the Origin), and hell is the illusionary world people have been living in, which is the human mind world. When people die, they end up dying inside of that mind. They end up dying foreverβimprisoned on earth, an eternal hell of ceaseless suffering. This is hell. People commonly think that they get burned in a fire and live with agony and burden in hell, but when they die in the false mind worlds, they just disappear. The way to escape from this is to discard the karma, habits, and body that are oneβs sins, and for the person who is false to become Truth.

πΏ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners reflect on how hell is not a place of fire, but the illusionary mind-world, and how true escape comes only by discarding the false self and becoming Truth. π
