“Suffering Exists Only in the False World We Create”

Think about your breakfast this morning — where you sat, what you ate. Was that experience in the real world, or inside a picture in your mind? This teaching from Teacher Woo Myung reveals that we live inside a film of our own making, where suffering, burden, and the passage of time all feel real but do not exist in the true world. When you become one with that true world, only eternal life remains.

Where you become true is the place of truth by teacher wu myung this poem is called the past present and future good bad burdens and sufferings exist in the false ghost world where man lives but none of these things exist in God’s world we have often heard that human life itself is an illusion that we live in a delusion.

That someday the savior will come to save us religions tell us to cleanse and empty our minds because we do not live in a righteous world man believes he lives in the true world but the world he lives in overlaps the real world he is living in a film a movie that he himself has made from a young age he makes a film which he keeps inside.

His mind he lives inside this film of pictures taken of the world think about the breakfast that you had this morning the place where you were sitting and what you ate we’re taking us pictures inside your mind it is not what happened in the world but it was in a picture in your mind the breakfast you ate.

What you did all day aren’t they all inside that film in your mind you were not inside the world but inside your mind and even this moment if you think about it once it has passed isn’t it also in a picture the world and this moment is overlapping inside the mind so.

Man believes that he is living in the world if he becomes one with the world and lives in the world he will not have any pictures the human mind is a film that takes and stores pictures but the mind of the world does not take pictures man does not know this so he is not born in the world and he is not saved there is suffering.

Burden life and death good bad aging sickness birth death the past the future and the present in the world of these pictures but when you become one with the true world you are born in the world these things do not exist it is eternal never changing life itself you.
