Master Woo Myung Writing – Man Is a Ghost
We are afraid of ghosts and we also often tell stories about ghosts. A ghost is an illusion that believes it exists.
Man does not live in the world but in his mind world – an illusionary world. Isn’t man who lives in an illusionary world also an illusion?
Man believes it is his illusionary self that lives, that it is this entity that dies, that it is this self that is right or wrong, sinful or not sinful. However all of these things are within his illusionary mind. Therefore, these things are ghosts because they are not real.
The human mind changes night and day, and there are many occasions when a promise made in the morning is broken by evening.
The human mind is an illusion because man lives as a picture in a self-centered picture world. Christ said that a righteous person does not exist among men. A righteous person is someone who is right and true but a righteous person does not exist because all men are false and not Truth.
In the world, there is not one righteous person; not even amongst our parents, siblings, spouses, children, between couples or friends.
There is no one who can be trusted.
Everyone lives a self-centered life – they live for their own benefit, in their own conceptions. When people who are illusions and ghosts are resurrected as true people, as God, they will become true, and they will be able to believe in each other and live as one.
Man is a ghost because he is an illusion, an entity that does not exist in the true world.
