Master Woo Myung Writing – Man’s Fate Is at a Crossroads of Eternal Life and Death
There are often more days of difficulty and suffering than there are days of happiness in life and it is in the midst of difficult times that we begin to think about certain matters. I am sure there are many who have given some thought to where they will go after they die, though they will never find the answer within their human thoughts. This is because man’s consciousness is dead and instead of living in the real world he is living inside the mind that he has made.
People seek out religion and other institutions in pursuit of Truth because they are incomplete. The ultimate goal of all of these institutions is to live forever. In other words, in their efforts to find a way to live eternally, people seek out religion and pursue Truth in various places. However, the only way for people to live forever is to be reborn in the land of the Creator, the origin, and Truth.
One must live in an eternal place, namely, one must live in the land of Truth, in order to live forever. To get to this land, he must first destroy all of his falseness and then he must be reborn there; without doing this no one can live forever. In other words, only a person who completely discards his entire body and mind is able to go to the land of this existence, the land of Truth. While on the cross, Jesus asked why God had forsaken him, but he was still willing to die if it was God’s will. This means he was willing to discard himself and stand on the side of God who is Truth; he loved God and Truth more than he loved himself. It was through Jesus’ death that the way was set to cross over into the land of God.
Everyone living in this world is a sinner. When the sinner completely dies, only Truth remains and this world is heaven – it is the world of Truth and God. No one can live forever unless his self, the sinner, completely dies and he is reborn as a righteous person. Again, every single person in this world is a sinner. So the only way to live in heaven for eternity is to repent fully and be completely absolved of all sins. Then he will have the righteous world in his mind and he will be resurrected as a righteous person.
Unless one’s mind becomes one with the righteous world and he is reborn in this world while he is still living, he will die forever. He who has completely destroyed his false self is one who has won the battle against his self. There is no way to live forever without eliminating the false sinner within and being born as a righteous person, as Truth.
