Master Woo Myung Writing – Nimitta and Animitta
Nimitta is existence.
Existence is want.
Want is attachment.
Nimitta exists because want exists.
Nimitta exists due to the existence of oneself.
One’s existence is the image of one’s individual self.
This image came from animitta
and became nimitta.
Nimitta becomes animitta once again.
Animitta is the source;
it is the Mother of all creations.
When nimitta is nimitta,
it is not perfect.
When nimitta becomes animitta
and when it becomes nimitta which in turn is animitta,
then it is Truth.
Truth does not change,
and the real identity of this never-changing Truth is
the harmonious energy of animitta.
This harmonious energy of animitta is
a sort of thought-mass,
as well as reality.
And the reality that has been planted in this reality
is the realm of God.
The realm of God is where there is true life.
It is where all things exist as they are.
It is where everything becomes exactly as one wills it.
It is where neither creation nor destruction exists.
The realm of God is eternal.
It is where the mind does not exist.
It is the place of Truth.
It is this realm of God that is
the real identity of the world,
but man mistakenly thinks that
the world he is living in is reality.
