Master Woo Myung Book – Heaven’s Formula For Saving The World – Man Has Thousands of Delusions and He Lives as a Slave to Those Delusional Illusions
There are many people living in the world but their minds are all different, with no two that are alike.
People have disagreements because everyone’s minds and thoughts are different; this is the reason there are conflicts, wars, divorces and arguments about what is yours and what is mine. A person’s mind comes from his very form and shape, which gave rise to the Korean saying, “He is showing the value or price of his form.” This means that one’s actions reveal the mind or value of his outward form. A person resembles his parents because his mind is born from the delusions of his parents’ minds. Not only does he resemble them in appearance, his mind is similar to theirs as well.
Man lives according to this shape and form, and as he lives he forms his own mind. He is fooled into thinking that he is this mind that is formed. His mind becomes his conceptions and habits, and his mind is inherently rooted within himself. It expresses itself through the thoughts that arise when something happens. One’s thoughts are one’s mind, and as much minds as he has put inside him are expressed through a string, a clump, of incessant thoughts. These become the agonies, worries and heavy burdens with which man lives.
It was once said that around 70-80% of American citizens suffer from some sort of mental illness. The amount of agonies and thoughts one has multiplies exponentially when he tries to satisfy his desires while living in an ever-developing material civilization.
Man has lost his sense of priority because he has thousands of different delusional thoughts inside him and he lives as a slave to those delusional thoughts.
Born with the mind of his form that he receives from his parents, man then stores everything he sees and hears in his subconscious mind as he lives his life, such as his parents, friends, school and society. While this mind is a shadow of past illusions, he is fooled into believing that those illusions are him.
Even as you are reading this book, it is your mind that orders you to read, and your body that obeys. When the thought comes up in yourself that you must go somewhere, your body is put into action and it moves through that thought – your mind. For example, when you think that you must go to the bathroom, it is your mind that makes your body move.
The minds of shadows, of illusions, of self-centered attachments, are all illusions. A person who has taken in many such minds will live in an illusion to the extent of the minds that he has taken in; and he will suffer and be agonized to the same extent. All mental illnesses arise from these minds, these false delusions.
