✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that while many people seek a perfect job that aligns with their interests and guarantees prosperity, such opportunities are rare and not easily found. Even if the job one receives is not the one originally desired, true success depends on how sincerely one dedicates oneself to the work. By performing diligently, surpassing others through effort, and maintaining a humble, considerate heart toward colleagues, anyone can live well. The key to a good life is not simply the position one holds, but the sincerity and truth with which one lives and works each day.

Getting a Good Job
Although people look for a good job that suits their interests and personality while providing financial prosperity, it is difficult to find such a suitable job. This is because while jobs in those fields are hard to come by, there are many people who are seeking.
The job you get may not be the job you wanted. However, once you get it, if you dedicate yourself to the work that you do, perform better than others, and have a good personality to get along well with others within the organization, you can succeed.

✨ About This Reading
In this reflective teaching, Master Woo Myung speaks about the many paths people walk in life. Though each person may hurry along their way, few know where they are truly headed. The true path is not defined by outward direction, but by whether one lives free from judgment and free from the self. When a person walks without clinging to thoughts or comparisons, his path becomes the way of Truth, and his life becomes whole.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
The Path
A walker walks
and a runner runs.
There are many different paths that people take,
but people hurriedly travel their paths
ignorant of where they are headed.
I wish people knew
whether their paths and destinations
are the right ones.
If one can live a life free of judgment
as he travels his path,
he is without self.
🎙️ Closing Message
Thank you for listening to today’s reading from the teachings of Master Woo Myung. 🌄 May this message inspire you to walk your path with clarity, free from judgment, and in harmony with the Truth of your original self.

✨ About This Reading
In this deep teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the true nature of memories. Every person lives by the remembered pictures of the past, and these memories become the roots of one’s mind. Yet, because they are only fleeting images, they keep people bound to a false life that eventually ends in death. True liberation comes when one sets all memories—one’s karma and past—ablaze, freeing the mind from burdens and illusions. To be without such false memories is to be poor in spirit, without greed, and open to the eternal life of Truth.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
Memories
Every person has memories.
Memories are what one remembers of the past.
Past memories become the roots of one’s mind,
and they form the present,
which is lived with this karma.
Karma is a form of past memories,
and their roots are deep.
One’s present life is lived
with the karma from his previous lives.
So in a way, his present life is his past lives.
How one lives now - his destiny -
is decided by his memories.
Past events are meaningless,
as are all things of the present,
so one should not continue to dwell on
the memories of a meaningless life.
There is one great thing in life -
it is setting all your memories ablaze.
Setting alight your memories means
setting your karma aflame,
freeing you from the sufferings of your burdens
for eternity, even after your death.
When you have karma,
you receive the judgment of this karma.
Human life is lived with karma that are memories,
so a person without minds reaches heaven.
That one is poor in spirit, that he has no minds,
means he does not have memories.
Being without memories
means one does not have any greed in his mind.
🎙️ Closing Message
Thank you for listening to today’s reading from the teachings of Master Woo Myung. 🌟 May these words inspire you to let go of false memories, free yourself from the weight of karma, and discover the eternal life of Truth.

✨ About This Reading
In this gentle and poetic teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on the simple beauty and strength of the cosmos flower. Though it sways in the cold wind and frost, it continues to bloom with resilience. Unlike flowers that only thrive under perfect conditions, the cosmos shows that true strength is born from enduring hardship and growing through challenges. In the same way, when a person endures life’s difficulties and hardships, he comes to know gratitude and discovers the path toward true peace and enlightenment.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
Cosmos Flowers
Cosmos flowers, swaying in the breeze,
blossom by the roadside and are beautiful
even in the cold wind and frost.
Cosmos flowers, swaying in the breeze,
are both fragile and strong.
Flowers that bloom only under good conditions
are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature
and wither easily.
The reason flowers are strong,
and the reason all creations are strong,
is they endure and withstand the harsh wind and waves;
they grow in harsh and severe conditions.
A person who has lived his life laboring in poverty
is grateful when he finds easier work.
🎙️ Closing Message
Thank you for listening to today’s reading from the teachings of Master Woo Myung. 🌺 May the cosmos flower remind you that true beauty and strength come from enduring life’s hardships with gratitude and grace.

✨ About This Reading
In this poetic teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on the image of a sailboat drifting across the blue waves. While it may appear serene and beautiful from the outside, the sailboat itself symbolizes loneliness as it moves forward alone. In the same way, when people live within the pictures of their own minds and speak of heaven with false detachment, they experience loneliness. True liberation from loneliness comes only when one goes beyond ignorance and awakens to the genuine life of Truth, where one is never alone.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
Sailboat
The passing sailboat
may look peaceful, detached, and beautiful,
but it is not so for the sailboat.
Pushing through the blue waves,
with its white sails raised,
it is lonely.
When man rides a sailboat
and speaks of heaven, pretending to be detached,
it is also a type of loneliness.
What is loneliness?
It is what people do not know,
what they are ignorant of.
Being without any accompanying passengers
is also loneliness.
🎙️ Closing Message
Thank you for listening to today’s reading from the teachings of Master Woo Myung. 🌊 May this reflection help you recognize the root of loneliness and guide you toward the true companionship of the eternal world within.

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains how human life is shaped by the contents of one’s mind. From childhood, people live according to the images, memories, and knowledge they store—be it law, architecture, or technology. These mental pictures define how one lives and what one pursues, yet as long as one remains bound to them, life is incomplete and destined to end with death.
True living begins when a person discards the false world within his mind and becomes reborn into the eternal Land of Truth. When the true world exists within one’s mind, there is no longer death—only eternal life in unity with God, Buddha, and the divine Truth. This message calls us to turn inward, clear away falsehoods, and live sincerely as our true selves.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
People Live According to Their Minds – One Who Has the True World in His Mind Will Live Without Death
Ever since we were little, we went to kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and then studied in specialized fields in society according to what we majored in. One who studied law makes a living practicing law, a person who learned about architecture makes a living as an architect, and a person who studied computers makes a living with computers. One lives in this world with what one has in his mind.
Some who have an ability in their minds make their living with that ability. If you are equipped with an ability in the mind, you will be capable and will therefore live well. When you simply do the work that you do, do not have other distracting thoughts, and are second to none in what you do, you can live well because you are capable. Also, if you are humble and are considerate of others, there will be no blockages and you can live well. Just as you live your life according to what you have in your mind, when a person who has the false world in his mind comes to have the true world in his mind and is born again in the true world, he can live forever without death. This is why it is said God, Buddha, Allah exists within me, and that the land of God, Buddha, Allah exists within me. Only the one who makes it exist within his mind while living can live eternally in the Land of Truth and live forever.
Whether one lives or dies also depends on what he has in his mind.

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains how all divisions—religions, philosophies, ideologies, academics, and even nations—will ultimately return to the one Truth. Humanity has lived with countless conflicting thoughts and boundaries, which have prevented true unity. But when each mind returns to the original Truth, distinctions such as your country and my country disappear. All become us, living as one in the Land of Truth. This oneness is the completion of both individuals and the world, a state where peace and harmony prevail eternally.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
Religions, Philosophies, Ideologies, Academics, and Countries Become One and Become Complete
Religions, philosophies, ideologies, and academics will all become one as they return to Truth. All countries will also become one when their ideologies return to Truth.
Until now, people could not become one because each person had different minds. But when they return to Truth, which is oneness, there is only one mind.
There is no distinction between your country or my country. Everyone becomes us, and therefore we become one. All are Truth and are one because they are born again in the Land of Truth.

✨ About This Reading
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains how both people and the world can live eternally. True life is not found in the fleeting images of the human mind, but in the eternal foundation of Truth. To be reborn into the Land of Truth, one must completely discard the false self, along with the mind world of memories and illusions. When the false is gone, what remains is the Holy Spirit and Holy Soul—the original foundation itself. Only by being reborn as this true self while still alive can one live forever, free from death and in unity with the eternal world.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
How Can People and This World Live Eternally?
For people and this world to live eternally, one must eliminate his false human mind world and discard even the incomplete person and the world. Then, the Holy Spirit and Holy Soul, Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya, Jung and Shin, which are the Spirit and Soul of the original foundation, remain. Only when this itself becomes your mind and you are born again as the body and mind of this, which is Truth, can you live forever.
No one can live unless they are born again through the words of the masters of the world. People think that they are living in the world, but they are not living in the world. Instead, they are living inside their mind world and thus are incomplete. You must completely eliminate yourself who is living in that mind world, which is a false world. It is only when you discard your mind world and go to Truth, and the masters of the Land of Truth make you born anew, can you live eternally.
Since this land, this place, is a false world, things only live up to their material lifespans. However, when that itself goes to the Land of Truth that is within your mind and is reborn as Truth, it can live eternally without death. Now, because there is a method to go to the Land of Truth and live there, anyone can achieve it if one follows the method.

✨ About This Reading
In this insightful teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals a profound truth about Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise. People often assume they will go to Heaven after death, yet Master Woo Myung explains that if one has not already been reborn into the true world while living, there is no Heaven to enter afterward. Just as a person who has never learned Russian cannot speak it, a person who does not have Heaven and the Truth within his mind cannot dwell there. True salvation lies in discarding the false mind and embodying the eternal world of Truth in one’s life, here and now.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
One Who Has Not Gone to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise While Living Cannot Go There After He Dies Because Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise Does Not Exist in His Mind
People can only speak and live according to what they have in their minds. Just as a person who does not have Russian in his mind cannot speak Russian, a person who does not have Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise within him does not have Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise.
Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise is the world of Truth. One who does not have Truth and the Land of Truth within him will not be able to go there even after he dies because he does not have that world.

✨ About This Reading
In this deep teaching, Master Woo Myung explains why human beings are incomplete and what it truly means to live. Humans believe they are living in the real world, yet in truth, they dwell inside the false world of their own minds, made up of remembered images taken through their eyes, ears, nose, and body. This mistaken life leads inevitably to death, for the self bound by false pictures cannot live eternally. True life begins only when one discards the false mind and returns to the world as it really is—the eternal world of Truth.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
Humans Are False and Are Not Living in the World
Humans are incomplete because instead of being born in the world and living there, they live according to their lifespans and end up dying. They are incomplete because they live inside their own minds that overlap the world.
As people are living, inside their mind world, they hold onto what belongs to the world as remembered pictures. People are false because they live their lives according to these pictures.
The eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and the bodies that people have are cameras. Also, people are incomplete because rather than having what belongs to the world in their minds, they have their own mind world.
They live mistakenly thinking that they are living in the world. However, they are false because they live inside of their minds instead of living in the world.
This is why humans are incomplete.

✨ About This Reading
In this inspiring teaching, Master Woo Myung emphasizes that the highest form of education is Human Completion Education. While most people dedicate years to learning only for the sake of making a living, few realize that such knowledge alone cannot bring true fulfillment. Without awakening from the false mind, human life remains incomplete.
The best education is one that guides people to discard their false selves, be reborn as Truth, and live as complete beings in the present world. When Human Completion Education is embraced, schools can help students find lasting peace, free from stress, conflict, and false distinctions between “you” and “me.” In this way, the Land of Truth—true Heaven and Paradise—can be realized here and now, leading humanity into an era of oneness, sincerity, and eternal life.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
The Best Education Is Where You Become a True Person and Live in the World So That Later You Become a Truthful Person and Live a Good Life
The best education amongst all types of education is Human Completion Education. Many people invest a great amount of time going to school and studying, but most of their studying is done to earn a living. They only study to make a living.
People do not realize that they are living an incomplete, false life. Since there is nothing more important than living the life of Truth, which is real, schools should provide Human Completion Education for at least an hour or two per week.
This will allow people to learn how to become complete and live eternally without death. If all the people of the world learn this, the world can become one through peace.
This land right here becomes the Land of Truth that is Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise when people are born again as Truth in the Land of Truth. Only then, will there be no conflicts, and everyone will live well because they will work sincerely and diligently. The world will become one through peace and there will be no distinction between my country and your country. There will be no thieves, con men, or any bad people, so everyone will live for others.
This land right here is Heaven and Paradise where one can go to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise while living and live happily. Since one lives without death, there are no concerns, worries or stress. There are no curiosities, unresolved questions or doubts, and it is the era when everyone lives.
This is Human Completion Education that teaches people Truth.
If people learn this first before studying knowledge at school, various fields of studies will be able to advance further.
If only people did this study, everyone would be able to live happily. The goal is to create an era when everyone can go to the Land of Truth, be born again as Truth, and become saints.

✨ About This Reading
In this enlightening discourse, Master Woo Myung explains that Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise are not distant places to be reached after death, but a reality to be realized while living. People commonly mistake the images and memories in their minds for true life, but these are only fleeting pictures that vanish when the body dies. True human completion comes by discarding the false mind—our karma, habits, and self—and being reborn into the original foundation, the eternal Truth. Only then can one truly live in the Land of Truth, the everlasting Heaven within.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
How to Achieve Human Completion and Completion of the Universe While Living
People commonly think that they go to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise when they die. However, there is absolutely nothing when one dies.
What people have in their minds are pictures of things in the world that they have taken while living in the world. Humans take pictures with their eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and body, which are like cameras. The pictures that the camera captured are the entirety of the life lived that people remember, and these are stored in their minds. Because they live inside those pictures, people are incomplete.
When a person dies, the remembered life lived disappears. Thus, this person cannot even think, and there is no such thing as going to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, or Paradise. Neither is there such a thing as going to Hell for one who has a lot of sin. When a person dies, because that mind does not exist, there is absolutely nothing.
The way to go to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise while living is to discard the karma, habits, and body of the incomplete self who lives inside his own mind that overlaps the world. When those karma, habits, and body are discarded, the self completely disappears. Then, one goes to the origin of this world and the masters of this world have to make it born anew from that origin, which is the original foundation. Only then is one born again as the material of the original foundation from the original foundation, which is Truth.
This is the Land of Truth, and only this world is Heaven and Paradise where one can live. One who goes to and lives in this land while living has the Land of Truth within his mind, so he is able to live in that land. Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise is not a place that one goes to after he dies. When one is absolved of his sins while living, since his mind is clean, only the original foundation, which is the world and Truth, exists. Only the one who has been born in the Land of Truth by being reborn from the words of the masters of the world can live in that land.

✨ About This Reading
In this deep and transformative teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals the true path to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise—not after death, but while still living. Many people believe Heaven is a place to be reached after life, yet what most see are merely worlds of their own illusions. Master Woo Myung explains that the world we think we live in is a picture world, a world that does not truly exist. To reach the eternal Land of Truth, one must eliminate the false self and its illusory world, allowing the true self—the mind of the universe—to be born within. Only those who are reborn into this true world while living can dwell eternally in Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
The Way to Go to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise While Living
Whether religious or not, people think that when they die, those who have faith will go to Heaven, Paradise or the Land of Bliss. Many people claim that they have died, gone to Heaven and Paradise, then come back. It is not that they have died and come back to life, but they saw a world of their own illusions.
People are not living in the world; the world where people live is the picture world that overlaps the world. Therefore, the world where people live is a nonexistent world. People take pictures of the life they have lived throughout their lives into their brains. No one can live in Heaven, Paradise, or the Land of Bliss unless they have been born as Truth in the true world that exists within their minds. You cannot go there unless you have the real, true world within your mind while living. Just as you can only speak, act and live according to as much as you have inside your brain, which is your mind, one who does not have the Land of Truth, which is Truth, cannot go to the Land of Truth. One who is not born in Heaven, Paradise or the Land of Bliss while living is not able.
The way to go there is to eliminate the entire false world that a person lives in and the person, which will simply die and disappear. Then, only the true world remains. The world that is born again from this world is the Land of Truth, the true world that is the immortal Heaven and Paradise. Only this world is the eternally living world. You cannot live unless you have this land within your mind while living. People’s minds are the universe.

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that gesong is the written expression of enlightenment itself. True gesong does not come from intellectual knowledge but from the heart. It reveals whether the writer has truly awakened, because the words flow directly from enlightenment. While gesong may be difficult for ordinary people to fully grasp, the most profound gesong is written so simply and clearly that all can understand—and through it, gain enlightenment.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What is Gesong?
Gesong is a written expression of one’s enlightenment. Gesong resides in the enlightenment, and the enlightenment resides in the gesong.
One can know by reading gesong whether or not the writer has been enlightened, because gesong is a writing from the heart. Only when it is written from the heart is it a true gesong; it cannot be called that when it is written from the knowledge of one’s head. It is possible to know the place of a person’s mind through his gesong, but usually it does not give enlightenment to ordinary people because people find them difficult to understand. The best or most well-written words are those that people can easily understand, therefore the best gesong is one that everyone can understand and gain enlightenment from.
🎙️ Closing Message

✨ About This Reading
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the koan, “What is this?”—a timeless inquiry into the origin of all things. Every creation, whether human, animal, or object, is complete in itself, yet all arise from the same origin: the mind, the metaphysical real substance. This mind is man’s true self, the mother of all existence, and the mysterious essence to which everything returns. By realizing this mind, one awakens to the completeness of being and the eternal origin of the Universe.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What Does the Koan, “What Is This?” Mean?
This koan asks about the origin of the subject, whatever it happens to be - object, vegetable or animal. Man is originally complete as a man, and all creations (things that are in existence) are all complete in their individuality, but they all came from me. This me is the energy of the origin - the original body of the Universe.
The metaphysical real substance is the mind. Everything in the world was born from this mind. Mind, that is the metaphysical real substance, is man’s real self, and this real self is the mother of all creations. Man is, in himself, a complete real substance as a man, but the place that this substance comes from and goes back to is the mind. If the subject of the koan, “What is this?” is a person, his complete or perfect self exists in the greatness of that mind. Therefore, the mind is mysterious and miraculous.

Thank you for listening to today’s reading from the teachings of Master Woo Myung. 🌟 May this koan guide you inward to discover your true mind and the completeness of your original self.

✨ About This Reading
In this illuminating teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the true meaning of the state of ‘no concepts and no ideas.’ It is not merely sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, but living without the false self, free from any attachment to thoughts or ideas. True meditation is when one moves, breathes, and lives daily life in complete freedom—without concepts, without ideas, and without self—fully one with Truth.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What Is the State of ‘No Concepts and No Ideas’?
The state of ‘no concepts and no ideas’ is to be without any thoughts whatsoever; when one is alive but has no self within his thoughts; when one is not bound to any ideas at all. Such is the complete state of ‘no concepts and no ideas’.
It is a misconception that such a state can only be achieved or happen when one sits cross-legged with his eyes closed. This practice is only a means to go towards Truth and it is not the true state of ‘no concepts and no ideas’. A true state of ‘no concepts and no ideas’ is when there is absolutely no self even while one moves, breathes, and lives his daily life.

✨ About This Reading
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that everything—humans, animals, plants, Earth, and even celestial bodies—ultimately returns to non-existence, the origin of the Universe. This non-existence is not empty nothingness but the original body that is insubstantial yet substantial, beyond form yet eternal. To practice dō is to awaken to this truth and return to our original self, which exists beyond illusion and matter. By realizing this origin, one becomes united with the infinite Universe.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What Does “Returning to the Origin of the Universe” Mean?
Whether it be man, animals, plants, the celestial bodies in the sky, or Earth itself, everything returns to nonexistence - the origin of the Universe. Non-existence is without form and immaterial, and it exists amidst nothingness as the original body that is the origin of the Universe.
To do dō (seek or practice Truth) is to return to this original body that is insubstantial and yet substantial, that exists amidst non-existence and does not exist amidst existence. The creations of the Universe, just as they exist, are this existence that is substantial and insubstantial. Therefore dō is knowing this existence that is our original selves, and this knowing is to return to the origin of the Universe.

✨ About This Reading
In this profound reflection, Master Woo Myung explains how Nam Sa-go, the author of Kyuk-Am-Yu-Rok, came to write his prophetic book. Although Nam Sa-go claimed the words were given by a god, Master Woo Myung reveals that God does not physically write books—rather, man himself is God, and God is man. True wisdom is not about attributing revelations to an external deity but realizing that heaven’s voice and truth are already within.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
How Did Nam Sa-go, the Author of Kyuk-Am-Yu-Rok, Come to Write This Book?
Nam Sa-go is the author of book of prophecy, Kyuk-Am-Yu-Rok. He was a person who had the ears of heaven; he could hear messages from heaven. The book is the answers to questions about the future which he wrote down. After writing the book, he claimed that he received it from a god because he feared what might happen to him if he admitted that he wrote it himself.
God does not write books. Man is God, and God is man. It is not nature’s flow for a person, a god, to physically come down from heaven, so it is not true that Nam Sa-go received the book from a god.

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the timeless wisdom of the Chun-bu-kyung. At its heart lies the principle that heaven, earth, and man are one. This philosophy has been passed down for generations in Korea and was eventually recorded in writing during the ancient Bae-dal-guk and Dan-gun dynasties.
The Dan-gun dynasty endured for a long time because it was governed by this truth of unity with heaven. Today, however, we live in the age of man—a new era in which the work of man and the work of heaven are no longer separate, but fulfilled together here on earth. Unlike the people of the Dan-gun era who sought to realize their will in heaven, this age calls us to manifest everything in this world, in accordance with nature’s flow.
The Chun-bu-kyung reminds us that the destiny of heaven, earth, and man is to unite. In the age of man, human beings stand at the very center of existence, where all things are fulfilled without conflict, in freedom, peace, and harmony. 🌏✨🙏

What Is Chun-bu-kyung? When and Whom Was It Written?
The essence of the book, Chun-bu-kyung, is the idea that heaven, earth, and man will become one. In Korea, the philosophy of this idea passed down for many generations and it was eventually recorded in written form in the Bae-dal-guk and Dan-gun dynasties. The Dan-gun dynasty was able to last for such a long time because it was governed by this ideology, which venerated heaven with heaven, earth, and man united as one.
However, it is now a world where man will become the master. The work of man will be the work of heaven, and the work of heaven will be the work of man. It is a world where the work of man will be fulfilled in heaven. The difference between the Dan-gun philosophy and this new age is that the people of the Dan-gun era and philosophy tried to achieve their will in heaven, whereas now everything will be fulfilled here on earth. The Dangun dynasty was right for the people of that time, but the current philosophy—the age of man—is one that is appropriate for the present because it is in accordance with nature’s flow.
The age of man is an era when man is of the highest; when all things are fulfilled according to man’s will; and man becomes the center of heaven, earth, and man. The person who first received Chun-bu-kyung lived in Korea long before the Dangun era, but it was in the Dan-gun era that it was organized and applied to governance. Since the Dan-gun era, Koreans have guarded and held onto this philosophy throughout the ages and the passing of each dynasty.

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the profound meaning of nature’s flow. All things in the universe arise and change according to the great order of nature, not by human control or effort. When people resist this natural flow, they face conflict and suffering; when they live in harmony with it, life becomes like water—ever-flowing, free, and without obstruction. Just as water ultimately returns to the ocean, we too can reach the complete and eternal world when we discard conflict and live within nature’s order. 🌱🌌💧🌿🕊️
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What Is 'Nature's Flow'?
‘Nature’s flow’ means everything is based on and happens according to a certain order. Everything in the world took place, and is still taking place, according to nature’s flow. Thus nature’s flow, or universal order, is the work of the world; it is the work of heaven and earth. People try to fix and change this universal order, but each time they do so they encounter severe disasters and suffer. And when this happens they look to God, because they cannot overcome these disasters.
It is not by God that people live; they live by nature’s flow. Teaching people about nature’s flow is a big task. Teaching people the laws of heaven is called chundo (meaning the way to heaven) but nature’s flow is something that must be taught to man and earth specifically. Nature’s flow is to be within order; and to be within order is to be like water that flows; and to be like water that flows is to be without conflict and stagnation. To not stagnate is to be alive; and to be alive is to be able to always move forward. To be able to always move forward is to be able to arrive in the complete world. From the water’s point of view, the complete world is like the ocean, which is without words, free, at peace, and without qualms. In the complete world, the conditions for life for all things are the same - there are no causes for dissatisfaction because all things are one. This is what it is to be complete.
