7.15.2

Let the river flow freely. Do not impede it by practicing the way of the world. Your ignorance has altered its course. Your fear has dammed its channel. The valley has dried. Dust blows across the fen. This cannot sustain you. You are caught in the cycles of birth and death like a swirling wind lifting dust clouds from the dry valley floor. Release the waters. Stop striving to control. The river knows the way to the sea. Its waters nourish the valley along its course. Let the dust settle. Become still. Become useless. Do nothing. Find solitude in the room within. Herein lies your true nature without ignorance and fear. Herein is twia. Twia is the river. It flows in wisdom and joy.

Remember twia. There is no other than I AM. You are it. Join in harmony with your true nature. Lead by following twia. To follow twia is to do nothing. To win the race is to lose your way. There is no one more ignorant than the one who knows. You are nothing. Be humble in your ways. You are no different than your neighbor. Fulfilled in joy. To live fully in the world as the me of the body is to confuse existence with reality. You are obsessed by what you are not. You are not your body or its personality. You are the witness to existence. The I AM. Do not seek your self. There is none. You have no self separate from all. You are the one. To seek self is to forget your true nature. You are I AM. The whole of the all. There is only consciousness. It has no distinctions.

To do nothing is to hold peace of heart always. To live in the joy that is I AM. This is done through the room within. The room within holds the moment. In the moment all is accomplished. Do not lose yourself in ritual. Such practice ties you to the world with expectations. Expect nothing. Desire nothing. Accept joy. To live always in joy is to act mindfully. Mindful action is non-action. The action of twia. You are never independent of the whole of the all.

To act in harmony with twia is to do nothing. You are floating on the river letting the current take you to the sea. Twia knows the way the waters flow. You, in body, are caught in an eddy. This is the cycle of birth and death in which you struggle. Your actions are futile. Stop. Do nothing. Let the river carry you. Your non-action along the way is fruitful.

In the duality of existence there is the short and tall, rough and smooth, straight and crooked. One cannot be without the other. What is short without tall, rough without smooth, straight without crooked? In reality there are no distinctions. Neither short nor tall, rough nor smooth, straight nor crooked. That is why there is no difference between giving and receiving. One cannot be without the other. They are the same without distinction.
