Teacher Woo Myung Books – Truth and Falseness I



I have asked people if they know what is true. I have also asked them if they know what is false.
No one has been able to give a proper answer to either question.
Truth is an existence that is real, everlasting, never-changing and alive. This existence is the sky before the sky – the Creator and the source of everything in heaven and earth.
The sky is the Creator and Truth itself which existed an eternity before and which will exist an eternity after. The stars, the sun, the moon and the Earth came from this sky as did people and everything on Earth. The sky is the source – everything came from it and therefore everything is the sky.
When the sky that is the Creator created all things, everything was made to live eternally; they were made to live to the age of the sky itself. However, man is unable to become Truth because of his sins and karma. He is false and therefore, dead. This is the reason Christianity tells us man will be saved at the second coming of Christ and Buddhism tells us that Maitreya will come to save the people of the world. Truth is the world: it is already complete, and it is an enlightened perfect existence.
When one sees from the perspective of the world – the great Universe – the world is perfection itself. Even though the world is enlightened, man is not complete because he is not living in the world. He merely thinks he is living in the world but instead, he is living in his own mind world – an illusionary world. Consequently he is not complete and needs salvation.
The world man lives in is an illusion because it is a world of his mind. This world is like a video and it overlaps the real world.
The human mind world is a world that has duplicated the real world, through the pictures he took with his eyes, and all that he has heard, smelled and felt. These have become his “self” and he lives within it, but seen from the real world, it is illusionary and it does not exist.
Truth is the world and falseness is man who lives within his mind world which has copied the world of Truth. Therefore, man must cleanse and discard his mind. He must become “poor in spirit” in order to go to the real world that is heaven.

Campbell Meditation Experience - Meditation Taught Me To Accept The World

  Campbell Meditation Experience – Meditation Taught Me To Accept The World Gadhi Asan – Campbell, CA Before I discovered this meditation, I really felt like I had reached the end of my rope. I felt like there was always a big, heavy stone in my chest and the pain was so bad that I wasn’t sleeping well. It was stress. I was barely living, carrying the everyday stress and difficulties of my life. Then, I found this meditation. At that time, I started this study sincerely with the intention of getting even a little relief. Even though I have never practiced meditation, this method, made by Woo Myung, was very simple and fun to do. One of the things about this study that I enjoyed was that I could look back on myself. Since I was a child, I had so much inferiority that I always hated losing to others. My tendency was to focus on winning whenever I competed with others. This made my life very lonely because I was always uncomfortable around other people. And other people were uncomfort...

Campbell Meditation Column – How to live well

Campbell Meditation Column – How to live well Such words as ‘stress’ and ‘depression’ are overused these days. Everyone seems to live with unsolved questions of life and a void that can never be filled no matter how much you try to fill it. There is nowhere you can truly rest; loneliness chases you everywhere and people endlessly search for and obtain something to fill up and soothe the mind. What everyone pursues will eventually be never-changing happiness. It would be truly resting without any worries even for a moment… Happiness – true rest – really sounds like an unreachable goal that is difficult for us who are living in this generation. Can I ever become happy? Can I really live well? Within the endless burden and pain of the mind, it might be fearful and dreadful to live every day. The moment a day ends, you sigh that you have endured a day. The moment a new morning starts, you might barely open your heavy eyes and be at a loss about how you can endure today. Joy happe...

Campbell Meditation Column – Your Happiness Matters

Campbell Meditation Column – Your Happiness Matters People are born into the world, live their life and depart. On average, human’s life span is seventy to eighty years. People age and become old. That person eventually dies. It is said that there is no exception in death. Life has a definite end one day; it is the principle of the world that a human is born and dies one day, just like parting is “waiting” after meeting. Then, in this one precious life, ask yourself, “do you live a happy life now?” Some people might say that their life is too busy and tough to even answer such a question. However, this is indeed a very important question. There is a seventy-year-old old man in my neighborhood. That man told me with a somber face that he was a very good looking man when he was seventeen years old and he felt like it was only yesterday. He woke up today and had become a wrinkled old man with no energy. For him, his life passed by in the blink of an eye. If you live so busily n...
