You call existence creation. You see yourself placed in creation by a creator. You seek a relationship with this creator. Something, you say, must have put you here. The grandeur of existence is too great to leave to itself. Something even grander must have made it. Some greatness must have made it and placed you in it. This thinking has led for ages to the worship of a divine nature. Belief in creation and creator has spawned hope and misery. It has brought joy and grief. You live as the me of the body with its pleasures and pains, happiness and sorrows. You hope for more. You insist there is a life beyond the grave.
There are pleasures and satisfactions to living in body. Desire sustains you through pain and sorrow. You hope for better. The better is held in expectation. Desire and expectation keep the me of the body wanting to live. You are not your desires and expectations. These are imaginations of pleasure and satisfaction. You are more than the me of the body. You are limited in body by ignorance and fear. At best, you may come to know that you are lost. You do not know the way. Your desires and expectations will not get you there. Your actions are futile. You are dreaming your way through cycles of birth and death. This may seem eternal. It is not. You will awaken. You are awakening now. To know that you do not know brings light to your understanding. Let things be. Do nothing. Restore balance in yin and yang. Seek the valley nourishment. Bring this and that into the whole of the all. Let harmony prevail. You have no need for pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. You are joy. Too much this. Too much that. These bring discord. Find balance with peace of heart. Hold peace of heart always. Do not delight in the world. Do not fall for the trappings of delight. You become caught in the web of memory and ritual. Leave the world to its own. Enter the room within. Herein lies your true nature. You are the one. The I AM. Let things be. Do nothing. You are not a body blind and deaf to reality. You are the power that is I AM.
Today is tomorrow. Do not put hope ahead of the moment. Today is yesterday. Do not let judgment cloud your vision. Keep to the moment without judgment or hope.
