Master Woo Myung Teaching – Man Does Not Live in the World, He Is Not True but False so He Is Dead
From the beginning, the world was created complete; it is already enlightened and has life. Because man is not born in this world, he is not born in the complete world. The source of all creations is the great Universe. This existence is the Creator and the source; namely, it is the sky before the sky that existed before everything came forth.
Let’s imagine for a moment that we are this existence. From this existence where absolutely nothing exists, gas came forth and exploded into a fireball. The fireball cooled into solid matter, which became the stars in the sky. From the infinite Universe’s point of view, the stars and the Universe are one; the star is the Universe and the Universe is the star. Everything that exists in the Universe is one with the Universe. If, like the Universe, one does not have false minds, then the individual is the whole and the whole is the individual. Everything is one; whether or not there is physical form, everything is oneness itself.
Everything that has been created is the Universe itself, the complete existence; thus, all things are without death. Even if the physical form disappears, the soul of that form is Truth. It is the eternal, never-dying immortal. That soul does not die because it is an individual entity that is one with the Universe that is Truth. The source of the Universe is Energy and God, and all forms are manifestations of this existence. The shape and form of this existence is everything in the world.
Man however, is not born in the world. He lives in his own mind: a shadow, a copy, of the real world. Hence, he is not complete and lives inside his illusionary mind. He is dead because his mind world is false and not real. Truth is the world and falseness is one’s own mind that has taken pictures of the world. If one copies the world and lives inside what he has copied, he is not living in the world but in a picture – neither the world he lives in nor he himself living in that non-existent world exist.
