Ponder these: compassion, loving-kindness, forgiveness, discernment, patience, contentment, self-discipline, generosity, serenity, harmony, ethics.
The past is a time that no longer exists. Release it from your burden. Do not let it weigh upon you. The thoughts and memories you hold have no meaning but what you give them. Change their meaning. Change your life. Let the moment guide you. Not the past. Do not consider the future. It will care for itself.
Fear prevents you from entering the room within. One must look at the past before entering. The past lies deep within you. Stuffed like old clothing in a trunk. You no longer wear it, but you cannot get rid of it. When you do open the trunk, you may pull out an item to consider. Sometimes you toss it. Often it goes back. Even having tossed some items, there are more layers beneath. The pile seems endless. Having rid yourself of a few memories, you close the trunk in fear of disturbing what lies deep at the bottom. What if you open the trunk one day to find it empty? Those old clothes you wore are gone. What you thought you had done did not happen. It was a dream. Dreams do not last. Look into your heart. You will find forgiveness. Forgiveness is knowing the trunk is empty. Reality is knowing there is no trunk. What you truly are lies in the room within. Not in your body. You are not the body. You are not the me of the body. You are not its fear. You are twia. Whole. Complete. Perfect. Eternal. This you know in heart. Enter the room within without fear. Therein lies your true nature.
The whole of the all is self-absorbing. Everything belongs. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Everything in relationships of unity and oneness. There is no separation. There is nothing outside the whole of the all. It is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. The me of the body cannot see this. It is blinded by the dust of the world. You struggle to prominence, assert pride and arrogance into the natural order of things, and live in fear of loneliness and deprivation where there is none. After alienating yourself from the whole of the all, you wonder what went wrong. The world you see flows out from your perceptions. What you see, you created in mind. Choose how you wish to see. The eyes of the me of the body do not see. The eyes that see are those of twia. The choice of perception is between fear and vision. Vision is the wisdom that is twia.
