Sit in silence. In quietude. Alone. Be at one with all. Empty yourself of the world. Rejoice in having no past. Have no hope for the future. Extoll the virtue of loneliness. There is no other. Do not seek companionship. Gather the darkness about you like a shroud. Huddle in isolation. You do not see. You are blind to the path. You are not the one who knows. Draw on twia for all things. Twia knows the way.
Be not guided by eyes and ears. They are blind and deaf. They do not see or hear. Find harmony within. Hold peace of heart. Follow the way within. Open your heart to your true nature. Do not be deceived by your eyes and ears. Hold true to the harmony you find in heart. Herein lies oneness. Stop looking for differences. Do not listen to the din of the world. Stop seeking this from that. You are whole, complete, perfect, eternal. Dwell in body without perception of the false. Know not fear. Hold to twia.
Know what you cannot change. Live within your destiny. Use your power in place of desire. Your desire to change the world is admirable, but futile. It will not change for you. Use your power to change within. Let the world adapt to you. Put away your spade. Stop trying to channel the river to your desires. Stop. Sit. The river knows its course. Do nothing.
The way of the world is birth, death, fear, hunger, struggle, wealth, poverty, desire, hope, greed, compassion, achievement, etc. Seek the still waters of the pool along the riverbank. Herein lies harmony with twia. The secret of life is to live in harmony with the river. Hold to the stillness of the pool that is yours to sit by. This is your destiny. Life by the pool is peace. Rest without end. Do nothing. The river provides. It flows from the dark side of the mountain to the light of the open sea. The two are joined in unity. Theirs is an eternal relationship. Let the harmony of the river embrace you.
Endings lead to new beginnings. The time between is what you make of it. Use the time to deepen your roots in the ground of goodness. The harmony of life comes from the ground up. Live close to the ground. It holds you in good stead. There are times when the cycles of life are like chapters in books. One ends, another begins. The story continues. Sometimes the break between cycles is greater than a chapter change. Sometimes your life shifts from one volume to another volume. Leaving an entire volume of life behind to enter another shifts your story dramatically. Hold to twia in all shifts of life. Life’s changes are the rapids in the river as you shift from one level to the next heading to the sea. Some rapids are more treacherous than others as the river cascades from the mountain to the sea. Some are so bad they are impassable without help. The river knows the way. You will drown only if you fight it. Give in to the flow. Twia will keep you afloat and portage you around what seems impassable.
