The teachings say you are not your body. Yet here you are. If not your body, what are you? This is the ancient existential question. The answer is, I am that which I AM. And what is that? I am the I AM. The I AM is the center of reality that is consciousness. It is consciousness expressing thought through awareness. Consciousness is intelligent and aware. You are consciousness-expressing. You are awareness, both discrete and continuous at once. That is the mystery of the eternal. You are the energy of consciousness moving about upon the eternal field of infinite possibility as existence.
Cultivate peace of heart at all times. This is the way of the path. It will open the door to the room within. A heart at peace knows joy and love. To begin anew start with the small. Take the first step first not the last. It does not pay to rush. Be still. Do nothing. Let ease and comfort find you. Do not grasp. Do not hang on. Attachments hinder you. They are false in nature. Stay true to twia. Twia will carry you to the end. Remove desire. Treasure nothing. Learn without study. Stop channeling the river that flows best of its own nature.
Live simply. Be the witness not the doer. Hold to twia moment by moment. Hold peace of heart always. Revel in joy. This is your true nature. Reveal yourself in the world through loving-kindness. This is the way of the path. Be simple in your ways. Act the dullard. Do not let emotions catch you up in the ways of the world. The way of the world leads to death. You need not die. The way of the path brings you into harmony with the eternal. Your cleverness in the world blocks your return to twia. Cleanse yourself of the past. Remove your shoes at the door within. You are stepping into the emptiness of the whole of the all. Herein lies your power. You no longer walk in the world unaware of I AM. Do nothing. Act the dullard. Be aware of your true nature. Be mindful of your ways each moment. Remember always, I see in you, I see in all things, that which I AM. I AM the whole of the all. There is only the I AM. There is no other.
Lie low in the valley. Be open to receiving. All the wisdom of the mountain top rushes your way. Do nothing. Await what is yours. Live within. Let twia guide your actions. To act from twia is to see the whole of the all. You can do no more than give thought to your own world. Then you will see change without. Do not worry for the morrow. Be aware in the moment. The morrow will care for itself. Jesus taught to look within for abundance. He said to take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself. Misery in the world will take on new meaning. Your treasures in the world are loving-kindness and humility. Treasure these and you will find the way of the path. To do otherwise is to follow death. Listen with ears that hear. Witness with eyes that see. You will find your way through the sufferings of the world.
Release the past. Live in the moment. The way is not long. Hold steadfast to the ground of your being. Keep to the essentials of living. Do not stray into desire. Live simply, without contention, along the river’s edge. Let the water flow naturally. It brings all that you need. Do not do what does not need doing. Do not mess with the river’s flow.
Your treasure is loving-kindness and humility. Do not lose this treasure. It belongs to the world. Bring your treasure wherever you go. Do not let others steal it from you. Do not underestimate the power of the world to remove you of loving-kindness and humility. Withdraw a bit from the world’s influences. Do not be eager to rush ahead. You will lose the way. Disaster awaits you if you come to lament the loss of your treasure. Jesus said to sell all you have to buy the field that holds your treasure. Remove your desires and attachments to the world to maintain loving-kindness and humility. Share your treasure always. It has no end.
Simplicity of being is not to strive or desire. Expectations bring complexity where none is needed. Look around. Give up unnecessary things. Your joy is in the moment. Live simply. Hold peace of heart always. But who understands these things? Who has the knowledge to live simply and to hold peace of heart always? Few. Do not try to emulate them. You will fail. The me of the body is lost to the world. Should the door open for you in this lifetime, hide within. Jesus said to go and tell no one. It is best to remove your finery.
Your body is an evolutionary product of the smallest elementary particles of the universe clinging together as form then cycling back to being loose particles to re-form as a different object in space. This body is temporary. It is not you. You do not burst forth, grow, wither, and die. You are unchanging and eternal. You are not the seed that grows in the garden. You are the energy that is mother nature. You are the energy expressing the dream of existence within consciousness. You are consciousness-expressing. Do not seek in the world what you cannot find. Your true nature lies in the room within. Herein is the home of the I AM. Herein you touch the eternal. You live in ignorance of this as the me of the body. Do not think that you know anything. You do not. To think you know compounds your ignorance. When you grow weary of ignorance, you will find the way of the path and remember twia. Twia knows. Therein lies wisdom. When you come to know that you do not know, when you truly accept your ignorance, a ray of wisdom pierces the darkness like a thunderbolt. This is realization of truth. This truth shall set you free. Do not struggle. Stop doing. Truth will find its way.
Enter the room within. Tell no one. Love without fear. Walk about humbly. Remember twia. Witness the me of the body without judgment.
