“Without a Seed, Nothing Can Exist — A Teaching on Origins”

When you sow seeds of peace, you reap peace. When you sow seeds of beans, you reap beans. This concise teaching from Teacher Woo Myung’s World Beyond World uses the simple wisdom of seeds and branches to explain a profound truth: just as nothing can exist without an origin, one cannot become truth unless the origin of truth itself exists.

Video Transcript

World beyond world by teacher william this passage is called without a seed nothing can exist and without a bush branches cannot exist everything comes from a seed and we reap the fruits of the seeds that we saw for example when we sow the seeds of peace we reap peace when we sow the seeds of beans we reap beans likewise there must be the seed of truth.

Order for truth to come forth where there is no bush there are no branches this means that in order for something to exist there must be an origin so that the representation of that origin may exist just as there can be no child without his parents the things that exists in the present as well.

As the things that will come to exist in the future must have an origin in order to exist therefore one cannot become truth unless the origin of truth exists.
