INTRODUCTION
🌌 In this writing, Master Woo Myung explains that sin is not an action judged by morality, but a state of not being Truth. Human beings are sinners because they live with a self-centered, fabricated mind, formed from inherited karma and personal delusions.
This teaching reveals why people are born carrying the accumulated sins of their ancestors and parents, and how original sin and personal sin arise from living within an individual, selfish mind. 🌿
Master Woo Myung clarifies that not becoming one with Truth is the only sin, and that freedom from sin is possible only through rebirth as the body and mind of Truth itself, where the false self no longer exists. ✨
📖 ORIGINAL WRITING BY Master Woo Myung
What Is Sin?
Man is a sinner because he is not Truth. He is not Truth because he has created a self-centered self and has fake delusions in his mind. This is the sin or karma he commits during his lifetime; he is born as a sinner because his ancestors and parents were all sinners.
We come to this world resembling the shapes of our parents, and that is why we say that “the apple does not fall far from the tree.” People’s minds are in the shape which is their body, because each of us is the collaborative product of our ancestors’ and parents’ sins.
People are born with the mass of their ancestors’ and parents’ sins and karma. Initially, they live as the mass of those sins and eventually come to have their own minds they create during their lives; this is original sin and personal sin.
People have only self-centered, selfish individual minds caring only about themselves; these minds cannot become one with Truth. Not becoming one with Truth is the only sin there is in the world.
Escaping from this individual mind and being reborn as the body and mind of Truth, the Creator, is freedom from sin. One cannot be born again as Truth because he is not free from sin, which is his own frame of conceptions and behaviors. One is only totally absolved of his sins when he is reborn as Truth and no longer has his self.
– Woo Myung
