INTRODUCTION β¨
In this important preface, Master Woo Myung explains the fundamental difference between Truth and falseness. He teaches that Truth is the eternal, indestructible existenceβthe Universe itselfβwhile what humans live in now is a false mind-world made of copied images. The path to real change is human completion: to discard falseness, be reborn in the Place of Truth, and thereby restore religion, philosophy, and society to their true state. This message emphasizes that the way to become Truth exists now and is available to anyone who sincerely practices the method. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG ποΈ
Where You Become True Is The Place Of Truth, Words of Truth – Preface
People have never known, not once in the many innumerable ages, what is true and what is false. What is true is the existence that is eternal and indestructible; the living existence that is the Universe itself; or in other words, this world. What is false is the human mind world, which is formed by taking pictures of the world in oneβs mind.
Man is living in this false world. He must therefore come out from his mind that is false, and be born in the world of Truth. If he does so, he will become complete and it will set right all religions, philosophies, ideologies and learning. It is then that man will be able to live happily and well.
Man does not know Truth and he has not been able to become Truth because having lived in a false world, he has only learned false things. This is the reason everyone lives with suffering and burden.
Truth knows what is true, as well as what is false; falseness lives in ignorance of both. Therefore the consciousness of a false person is dead. If you cannot become true or you have not become true at the place of your faith or practice, then isnβt that place false?
Only a place where you are becoming true, a place where you can become true, is the true place. Human completion is to live resurrected in the true world after the false world and oneβs self living in it are completely gone. That time has now come, but people live unaware of Truth because their consciousnesses are so bound by their conceptions and habits. They are dead, but they live without knowing that they are.
The way for everyone to escape from the false world that is a dream and become Truth has now come to the world. I wrote this book in the hopes that it will help all people to become Truth and be reborn in the new complete world while they are living.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION πΏ
Master Woo Myungβs preface highlights a clear, practical aim: escape the false mind-world by discarding falseness, and be reborn into the Place of Truth. This is not theoretical β it is presented as a method available now. Santa Clara Meditation practices support this process of repentance (letting-go) and rebirth, enabling people to realize Truth within and to live as the complete, everlasting self.
