Master Woo Myung Message – World beyond World – Foreword
In 2002, I had the opportunity to meet the Chairman of the General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters and speak with him about world peace. I proposed to him a fundamental solution for ending all of the world’s conflicts, the solution being that by cleansing their minds, people would become Truth, which would then allow them to all become one. I told him that because each person has his own way of thinking and lives life thinking that only what fits his point of view is right, changing the consciousness of man into that of Truth is the only solution which can allow for nations to become one and for people to become one, regardless of nationality or ethnic background.
In my youth, I frequently questioned what meaning my life would have if only I were to live well, and I realized that by no means would I be able to live happily if there were those around me who were suffering due to poverty. However, I eventually forgot about such thoughts, as my own life had become plagued with its own difficulties. The more I lived, the more I was confronted with so many different circumstances, and thus my life became beset by pain and heavy burdens. So I began to study many different religious texts in search of a way to gain true freedom. I came to know that Buddha and Godwere in me and that I had to cleanse my mind in order to find my true self; this eventually led me to Truth. Soon after, I abandoned my worldly life and have been teaching people how to become Truth.
Mankind’s struggle to become Truth – to become God – has forever been a fruitless pursuit. It seems now is the moment in this universe for me to show the whole world the way to become Truth and God. This book is a collection of writings and of lectures that I have given in the United States to many religious leaders, theologians, and philosophers, along with my replies to their inquiries.
