Woo Myung's Writing of Principle of Maum Meditation

Source: Wisdom's Webzine

Man is born with a mind that wants to possess, so he seeks satisfaction and happiness through possession. However, there is no end to such means; ultimately, he cannot be satisfied or happy.

All greed arises from his mind of inferiority and when he is not able to have or achieve what he wants, this turns into feelings of regret and bitterness. Only when he discards this, will those feelings of regret and bitterness truly disappear.

Until now, man has lived trying to possess what he can because of his mind that wants to make everything his. At present, this is the way all people live.

The world is in a state of instability, people have lost their trust in each other and they live struggling to appease their feelings of inferiority; in this age, rather than learning how to possess, learning to not possess is the way to become complete and the way to live a better life. This is because instead of just thinking that we must discard money in our minds, we will be able to carry it out into action.

A mind full of greed is always anguished; and a life lived following one’s anguish is without action; it is a life with thoughts leading only to more thoughts.

If the past was the age of adding to one’s mind, now the age of subtracting what is in his mind has begun. One who subtracts his mind in this time will recover his original nature; consequently, the whole human race will become one and the world will become complete because everyone will live for others and the world.

Human completion is becoming God’s mind by subtracting all of one’s own mind. One will then be able to live well for he will have wisdom and his mind that is the Soul and Spirit will live eternally.

Subtracting all human mind – all the mind one has, that he has “eaten” – is completion.

From Despair To Hope

Even a long time ago, there were people living in the world.
The many people who lived in the world throughout the ages have all disappeared,
silently and without a trace.
While they lived, they were attached to the realities of their daily lives and
they suffered because they tried to possess everything,
but despite agonizing over the meaningless events of life, no trace of them remains.

Ultimately, there is no meaning in human life.
The only way for man to live forever and escape from suffering and burden is to die,
while he is still living. Only then can he find his true self.
His true self is God who remains when he is dead.
Even if all people and the world disappear,
what remains is the existence without form, taste, scent, sight, hearing and sensation.
That is, the existence for which these minds have completely ceased remains; namely, the original foundation.

If one is reborn from the original foundation, man and the world become eternal and never-dying immortals, and both the world and man live, for they become God that never dies.

Discarding falseness and becoming real is the only path to life. People want to become real but at the same time keep the falseness; there are not many people who know that they can only become real if they throw away what is false. 

People have such strong attachments to their falseness that they look for Truth within it. They do not know that Truth does not exist within falseness – that is how foolish people are. The right way, or the answer, is to discard falseness so that only Truth remains, and to be reborn as Truth. -Woo Myung-
