I got this book through a recommendation of a close friend. When I saw the cover page of book where many people are riding in a ship, it made me wonder, are there people really going to the eternal land of happiness?
As I continued to read this book, I thought “it’s easy and fun.” I thought the book would have a complicated content, based on the title; but it explained human mind simply without any complexity. I was impressed by Woo Myung’s explanations that a human being does not live in the real world, but lives within own mind world; and that now, he could live eternally happy by escaping the mind.
It seems like this book could clearly answer and solve the typical questions one tend to have as he lives his life, such as where does a man come from and where does he go?

When I first saw this book, it felt different from other books. The title was amazing. Some may even say the title is rather arrogant. The meaning of the title is astonishing, but the tone at first was more of urging; after reading the book, I felt a sense of persuasion. The calligraphic lettering in the cover page was unique and hard to decipher without the separate title being written. It was huge shock just by the title and calligraphy. Inside the book, the foreword also contained a remarkable content. As I headed home after reading the foreword, I was deep in thought. The fact that I eat, sleep and work, is this the true reason and purpose of being born as a human being? Even those who have succeeded in life seemed in vain when you consider the message of the book. Whether one is Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or a bum on the street – sleeping, waking up, eating, living and running around- when one dies, is that the end? I felt the futility of life and it felt like falling into a bottomless pit. When reading, the author emphasizes one thing continuously. Through different expressions, one point is emphasized repeatedly. As the title of the book, it focused on the method to live in the eternal land of happiness. This was expressed simply but logically. Whereas many intellectual books are written in their own typical grammatical fashion mixed with self-boasting, which make readers feel inferior, this book is written in easy words so anyone can read. I like this feature. The author is convincing all to read this book to enter into the land of happiness and to live forever. Anyone who read this book correctly would also know well what needs to be done.

I didn’t really get it at first but it gets interesting the more I read it. My mind just gets so comfortable. I can’t stop reading it over and over again. This book really helps me to relax when I’m stressed out. I never got tired of reading this book no matter how many times I have read already, it still makes me feel comfortable just the same. It delivers what Truth is – so simple yet clearly. This book tells you how to live.

Woo Myung is the author of many books on meditation, a number of which have been translated into English. Stop Living in This Land: Go To The Everlasting World of Happiness: Live There Forever; is the most recent. In this handsome presentation, both the calligraphy and illustrations are by the author, and offer visual imagery that correspond beautifully with the essays and poetry. A native of South Korea, Myung grew up in a culture that focuses on hard work, perseverance and success. Despite his many accomplishments, he was greatly disturbed by the insufficiency and anxieties of life. In 1996, after years of effort searching for inner and outer peace, he attained enlightenment while meditating in the Gaya Mountains, and became Truth. After that, Myung dedicated to helping others attain enlightenment by cleansing the self-centered body and mind through eight levels of meditation. The fact that his centers can be found around the globe underlines his conviction that the world where people live without the mind of self will be a truly joyful place to live. . . it will be a world without divisions between nations; a just world where people are honored to live for others. Other books by Myung that have been translated into English include The Way to Become a Person in Heaven While Living and World Beyond World. They will all be welcomed by readers seeking relief from personal stress and anxiety, and hoping to find the true meaning in the pure universe, through the enlightenment of meditation.

When people become free of themselves and become Truth, the world will become a peaceful place. This book is a living textbook on Truth that is destined to be a required reading for all humankind. It explains and answers all of fundamental questions, which remained elusive throughout the ages, such as: Where did we come from? Where do we go? and What is the purpose of human existence? Mr. Woo Myung urges all to discard the false that is the human mind world, where there is only death and suffering. He informs the readers that the True world exists, which is a heaven without any darkness, sorrow or stress; and that all human beings are meant to enter and live in this True world. He further gives the readers hope on the dawning and reigning of a new era in this world, where all humankind can become truly complete beings and be able to live forever in the True world.

World Beyond World is the first book that gives mankind the method to becoming True Self, which is the original state of mind. Woo Myung explains that our individual mind makes the separation from oneness of the world. Also, he says that individual mind has been formed throughout life experiences and stored as images and has been accumulated and descended in our body from our ancestors. He states that in order to return to the original mind, Truth, and in order to become one from this separated world, our individual minds must be cleansed. Then, this world can live peacefully as one without separation from each other. There are many books that describe what Truth is but this is the first book to give us a step-by-step method to attaining eternal life, which fulfills the purpose of our lives. Reading this book will give you answers to many questions such as: Where did we come from? Why are we here? and Where do we go? Woo Myung explains that now is the time for human completion because now is the first time we are given the precise method to become a perfect man.

World Beyond World is a book that every intellectual should read. It is a book that offers no parallel understanding of human destiny. This book will answer many of the fundamental questions that humans have carried unsolved, such as what is Truth? Is there such thing as Heaven? I am thankful to the author for providing me such clear understanding of God, Mankind, and Truth. I recommend this book for anyone to read, really.

Anyone who is looking for Truth must read this book!!! While I was reading this book, I was wondering about the author who can explain about Truth with very simple words. Everything was so simple and absolutely made sense. You will see what the purpose of your life is.
