Master Woo Myung Teaching – Idealism
Idealism is Truth itself: the state of completeness. To be ideal is to become Truth; it is when all of one’s thoughts and actions are oriented towards Truth. Therefore, an ideal life is when one is born as Truth and lives as Truth.
The reason idealism has not been realized in religion, even though they aim towards it, is they do not have the method to get to the state of idealism. Therefore, they only talk of what is ideal through scriptures, and are unable to reach the ideal world. There are tens of thousands of different religious sects because the scriptures have been interpreted by those who have not gone to the ideal world and human thoughts have become the scriptures. True idealism is reaching the ideal world, and being reborn in the ideal world itself. Then, such a world will be realized.
The way to realize this is to ignore and eliminate one’s false self. The origin exists when the false self is gone. When he is then reborn in the mind of the origin, this is the ideal world.
Imagine for a moment that you had never been born – the world still exists. Even if the stars, the moon, the Earth and everything on Earth had not been born, the empty sky that is the emptiness still exists. This is the origin, the source, God and the Creator. When one returns to the mind of this existence itself, and is reborn here as the substance of the empty sky, this place is heaven; it is the ideal world.
Idealism is the thoughts, actions, and life of a person who has gone to this world.
When the realization of idealism becomes possible, it will become an ideal world.
The true ideal world is when the world becomes one mind, when without separation between you and me, the world lives as one.
