Ruminating with Rumi
In the beginning there was the dust of creation. It gathered as life. Life found awareness. Awareness returns us to the beginning, before the dust. Before the world as we know it in body. Awareness is the open door to the room within. Turn toward the door. Shake the dust off your garments. Lean into the knowledge within that is your true nature. You have come to the point of remembering twia. In twia, all is revealed in awareness.
Your treasure is revealed within. It desires to be known. It awaits your return. You buried it and went away. Now you are back. Dig deep in the ground of goodness. Follow the light that glows beneath the soil. You have cleared away the brambles, now dig. To dig, do nothing. It will be revealed on its own. It is not for you to do. You do not know the way. Twia knows.
Sit in the still silence of the room within. You are in a dream. The experience of the dream seems real to you. It fills your perceptions with falsehoods. Twia will bring you to the edge of the dream. The light of dawn will awaken you to the treasure you once knew. Grief will fall upon you to be witnessed and released. No longer will you walk in pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow.
You are the treasure you once abandoned. You turned from your true nature toward thoughts of separation. Yet, you cannot part from twia. You cannot leave. You are the eternal I AM. I AM is the glow in the ground of goodness in which your roots are buried deeply. From your roots you grow into consciousness. Born into the dust of creation, you return in your awareness to I AM. Let the glow in you light the world for all to see.
With eyes that see and ears that hear, you are the light, you are the sound, of your true nature. You find yourself at the beginning. You find that you are your own voice, the voice that leads the way. There is no other than you. You are I AM. You are that which I AM. Whole. Complete. Perfect. Eternal. You are the voice in the silence of the room within. You are the treasure to behold.
