Agony Agony is the product of human life. It is when man tries to achieve something then fails that this becomes his agony. Agony is the output of man’s unfulfilled greed. The countless experiences of man’s life are his agonies and joys, but they are mere emotions that he has. Stemming from his karma and habits, emotions are the experiences he has come to have of his own accord. When seen from outside the forest, one will be able to see that no one else but himself has agonies; that one’s thoughts create one’s agonies.
My Song The years pass. Though one may come to know ‘d? (Truth),’ he is a wretched being if he still has any of his human mind left. No one seems to know what I have come to this world to do and the things I have done. Amidst this ignorance, people are unable to let go of the useless delusions of this world. As I look upon such wretched people, a sense of futility digs into my Mind. But I sing without having any thoughts in my Mind. It seems to be my fate to teach man that the countless stories he has in this world are all meaningless. Thus I do the work of the Universe absent of mind. There are only wretched minds in this world, no one here seems to understand my purpose. People are ignorant of the fact that the age in which man deems himself superior, inferior, or singular in his importance – the age of polarity – has ended and that a new age of reconciliation is coming. Indeed it is regrettable that people still cling to their old habits from the previous age. What they must realize is that in order to... View Article

Different Forms, Minds of Oneness
Since founding Subtraction Meditation in 1996, Woo Myung has spoken at innumerable seminars and lectures. As long as there were people waiting in search of their true self, there was nowhere he was not willing to travel to. His world tours which began in Korea, and has spanned Asia, Europe, U.S., Oceania, Africa and South America, continues to the present day. Woo Myung’s lectures are clear, thoughtful and easy enough for anyone to understand. Through them, countless people have realized the need to cleanse their minds and began practicing the Subtraction Meditation, thereby finding their true selves and achieving human completion. Here, a few of his lectures from his seminar tours have been excerpted and published. “I wait and wait for the day when all of mankind becomes complete and live. It is my hope that before I die, the Truth will spread all over the world and all people will be resurrected as the Truth. It is my will to work hard, so that even one more person may live.” – Woo Myung
How can one become the Truth? And why must one succeed in reaching the Truth? First, we must understand what the Truth is. What is the Truth? We have learned that the Truth is everlasting and never-changing. So then, what is this eternal and never-changing existence? Let’s begin by thinking about the Universe. The Universe is infinite so it cannot be drawn but let’s represent it in this way. [image] The sky – the Universe – contains stars, sun, moon and earth; and on the earth, there are people. What you see and hear, everything just as they exist is the Truth; thus, what you see here is everything that exists in the Universe. [image] In the Universe, there are the stars, the sun, the moon and the earth. Let us try thinking about things in the following way: [image] Imagine we went back in time to an eternity ago, along with the stars, the sun, the moon, and the earth. Scientists tell us that the lifespan of a star ranges from 5 to 14 billion years. However, the lifespans of the stars, the sun, the moon, the earth, and a man are like a split second compared with eternity.... View Article
I have traveled all over the world to give lectures, and I continue to do so to this day. The content of the talks I give is the following: I prove to people that they live in a false world of their own minds; that they have made through copying the world and the lives they have lived. And I tell them that the true world exists once they escape from this fake picture world; and furthermore, without being resurrected in the true world, they cannot live eternally. I also tell them that to become saints, they must cleanse their sins and karma and be reborn as the Truth. Most people seem to understand this. I tell them that the Truth is an existence that is eternal and never-changing; and that the world of the Truth is a world that lies beyond the complete death of one’s self. I also ask them to imagine that they had not been born in the world, and then when I ask them if the Universe would still exist, they nod. I then ask them to imagine that all material entities in the Universe had not been created. I ask them again whether the... View Article
Words given in Switzerland during European Tour There is a Korean idiom that states, “Things occur according to what one has added to the mind.” This means that a person lives his life based on what he has in his mind. As a person lives, he adds life experiences to his mind; and that is what was taken into his mind. The mind is formed through whatever one experienced; in other words, one’s lived life. There are 6 billion people in this world and they all have different minds, because they lived in different environments. We live as our minds dictate, thinking our minds are true. When I think with my mind that I have to meet someone, this moves my body. That mind moves a person. When I think in my mind, I have to go to bathroom, the body moves; the mind is the owner. All people live according to their minds and live as much as those minds; they live based on what were added to their minds. The people in the world live according to their minds; the way they live is the expression of their minds. This is a human being’s life, which is a... View Article
