Everything that meets the eye eventually diminishes with time. So then where can Truth be found? What could this existence that is absolute, perfect, undiminishable, never-changing be? What could this eternal and living existence be? Where is it? [The Living Eternal World] is a sequel to Woo Myung¡¯s sensational book [World Beyond World]. If [World Beyond World] offered a way for our consciousnesses to become Truth so that we may transcend beyond discord and conflicts and reach a world that is of peace, its sequel goes further to provide a more detailed message to help readers reach the world of Truth and of the Mind. With its simple and concise sentences, [The Living Eternal World] sheds light on what Truth really is.
That which existed before the beginning and will continue to exist even after this world is no more is the infinite emptiness ? the Universe that is before and beyond the universe. This Universe is what is eternal and never-changing. This Universe is the existence for which there is nothing higher, wider, or greater. It is from the Universe that all things are born, and to it all things return. No matter how many countless times such creation and extinction is repeated, the emptiness that is the Universe remains as it is unchanged. Such is Truth. And though it cannot be seen with our eyes, this emptiness ? this Universe ? is filled with Energy and Light. The Energy and the Light are, respectively, the Body and the Mind of the Universe. The Energy and Light are humankind¡¯s source. When we completely cleanse our body and mind, our consciousnesses become Truth and are reborn as the Energy and Light ? as the source. Though our bodies may eventually disappear someday, so long as we have become Truth, our consciousnesses which have become that of the source will be eternal and thus absent of life or death. We will no longer live trapped in this mold that we as individuals define as being who we are but will live free from the confinement that are our lives; we will see from the world¡¯s point-of-view and will live lives that are of wisdom and of Nature¡¯s flow; we will live the true life.
The living eternal world is the world that exists as the eternal and never-changing Truth. It is the world where one lives forever after having become Truth. When humans become Truth, this world, along with all its creations, is reborn as Truth. Now is the time for the people of this world to become Truth so that there is no distance between people and no borders between nations ? so that all may live as one. Such is the Heaven that Woo Myung speaks of. This book [The Living Eternal World] offers a straight-forward, no-nonsense approach to the subjects of the true Mind and the world of Truth.
¡°The true Mind is one that exists before and beyond
one¡¯s delusional, self-centered, attachment-filled mind.
It is the Mind that is God, who is the Universe that is before and beyond the universe.
This Mind is Truth. It is the Mind that is eternal and never...-changing; it is the living Mind.¡±
¡°Faith is the conviction of the mind.
One has conviction in his mind when his mind believes.
One¡¯s mind - one¡¯s consciousness - believes
when he becomes that which he believes in; only then will he have conviction. ¡°
¡°The love that man speaks of is not true but false.
True love is without discernment or conflict, nor does it have judgments of good and bad.
To always love as it is, that is true love. To do so is the greatest love.
To do so is Nature¡¯s flow. Only God can truly love.¡±
¡°The Mind of God is one that is cut off from everything.
God¡¯s Mind is the state in which there is no knowing.
The Mind of God has no discernments.
The Mind of God simply exists as it is and lives as it is.
The Mind of God is Truth, which is why even though it knows nothing
and even though there is nothing for it to know, it is perfection itself.¡±
¡°The path to Truth must be one that is accessible by anyone.
It must be scientific and systematic.
And in due course it must lead to enlightenment
in proportion to how much one has cleansed one¡¯s mind.
Enlightenment comes when one¡¯s tightly bound mind is wholly headed towards Truth.
Enlightenment is realization in proportion to how much one has become Truth.
Knowing as much as one¡¯s mind has been awakened is enlightenment.
When one is awakened from one¡¯s individual mind
and is headed toward the Whole, he will know as much as God¡¯s Mind,
which is the awakened consciousness; such is enlightenment.¡±

In this infinite world where all things eventually fade, what is the one thing that will never disappear? It is the Mind. But until now, this Mind has been a rather ambiguous idea because there has been no clear way of knowing it. So then what is this ever-existing true Mind? For sure, it is not the burdensome minds that we each carry as individuals; it is not this mind which manipulates us numerous times every day. Rather, the Mind is the still, constant, and eternal Mind that is beyond the minds of individuals.
That which does not fade even though everything else may disappear is the ever-existing true Mind, and this Mind is the true self we yearn to be. Furthermore, when we find our true self, we will come to know the Truth of life, enlightenment, wisdom, as well as the flow of Nature. All the things that those in search of the true life have wanted to fulfill can only be found on the path to find their true self. This book is a guide to knowing the Mind; it is a guide to everyday people who wish to live as their true selves.
