Master Woo Myung Message – Preface (The Book of Wisdom)
There are so many different books in the world, lining the shelves of bookstores everywhere. The reason there are so many is people lack wisdom.
Books about the end of the world seem to be popular but the end of the world is not something that will actually happen. The end of the world is living life with your consciousness tied to your self-centered perspective.
When one’s narrow-minded individual thoughts change to the complete consciousness of the whole, it will be possible to understand what the dawning of a new world truly means. The world one lives in, here, will be heaven and paradise where everyone is truly alive; the new world is one where all people live as one.
The world has become a dark place; a place where everyone’s minds are different and people live lost lives of pain and suffering. I write this book in the hopes that it will bring light to the fact that these sufferings and burdens are not Truth, and so that the world will become one where all people can be reborn as Truth and gain true freedom.
Life in this world is like a dream dreamt during the night. Just as you realize that a nightmare was just a dream only when you wake, from the perspective of God and Buddha, human life is a dream-like illusion.
I write these words because no one seems to realize that we become free from death and we live in everlasting heaven while we are alive when we are reborn as Truth, which created the great Universe, and we live as Truth.
We do not know when we are dreaming that we are in a dream. In the same way, a person who is trapped within himself does not know the will of the Universe that created and existed before the universe.
Absolute Truth is God and Buddha and there is no way to live without returning to its fold. Anyone can return to Truth when we know that we ourselves are to blame for all things and we cleanse our sins by repenting. I have the hope that all people will cleanse their minds and realize that the way to live eternally while we are living exists within ourselves.
