INTRODUCTION

✨ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the profound difference between the world of the past—the false world created inside the human mind—and the new world, which is born as Truth in the Land of Truth.
The past world was incomplete, temporary, and rooted in human pictures, suffering, doubts, and self-centeredness. But the new world is existent, eternal, and free, because it is born from the true mind, the mind of absolute nothingness—the mind of Truth. 🌿

ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

The World of the Past and the New World

The sky was the master of the world of the past; in the new world, people who are the sky have come and people are the masters. The world of the past was incomplete and ended up dying because it existed inside the human mind. However, the new world does not die because it has been born in the world and has become the mind without death. The individual entities do not die either because they are Truth. The world of the past is not real but false because it exists inside the human mind. It is a world of pictures, a nonexistent world. The new world is the true world and is existent because this world has been born again in the Land of Truth.

In the world of the past, although material things have come forth, they do not have life and are nonexistent entities. All of them are like drifting clouds and they exist and then disappear. In the new world, material things are born again with life in the Land of Truth and they are the never-dying Truth and living entities. In the world of the past, a person does not have the real mind. With the false mind, he does false deeds and suffers through meaningless hardship and ends up dying. In the new world, one just lives doing the work of the real world with the real mind.

In the world of the past, one lived with suffering, burden, stress, curiosities, unresolved questions, and doubts. But in the new world, there is no suffering, burden, stress, curiosities, unresolved questions, or doubts.

In the world of the past, there was no satisfaction because the true mind did not exist and there was only the false, self-centered mind. But in the new world, although the true mind exists, that mind is a mind of absolute nothingness. That mind is Truth and is the mind that has become free of all human conceptions and customs. It is freedom and ultimate liberation and it is a mind that just lives without the remembered thoughts. It is the mind of absolute freedom.

The world of the past is the mind that disappears when one dies after having lived. But the new world does not disappear because the new world within that mind is Truth.

After having lived in the false world of his mind, when one dies, the world of the past disappears. But the new world exists as it is.

In the world of the past, the individual lives mistakenly believing that he exists inside his mind world and ends up disappearing. But in the new world, one can live without death while living because he is born again from the true mind of the world.

In the world of the past, one lives in religion, but in the new world, one becomes free of religion and lives in the world where religions are fulfilled.

In the world of the past, one lives with suffering, burden, stress, unresolved questions, and doubts. One does not have wisdom and knows nothing. However, the new world is wisdom itself and so one lives without curiosities, unresolved questions, suffering, or burden.

The world of the past has death, but the new world has no death.

The world of the past is miserable, but the new world is a joyful world. This is because one is miserable when he lives in the false mind according to the demands of that mind, and the real mind is joyful because it is the mind of nothingness.
– Woo Myung

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION

At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn how the world of the past—the false mind world—creates endless suffering, doubt, stress, and burden.
Through the meditation method, this false world disappears, and the practitioner is reborn into the new world, the Land of Truth, where:

  • there is no death,
  • no suffering or doubts,
  • no fear or burden,
  • only freedom, wisdom, and the real mind.

The new world is the world of completion, the world of Truth, and it exists within one’s mind when the false disappears. 🌠
