Lessons from Kabbalah
Reflecting on its teachings
Contemplative meanderings
Continuing from the previous Kabbalah posting, I pause here to remind myself to not take literally any of these words. I hear the masters say, you do not know—what you do know cannot be said, and what you say you do not know. Consciousness for me is beyond comprehension and beyond description. My choice of words conveys something of the beyond but what I try to express is lost in translation. My words are attempts to move from simple understandings to knowing my true nature in the silence of the room within. Remember that words point the way, but they are not the destination. So, in that vein, let us continue.
Reflections
• Consciousness is all. There is no other. It manifests the whole of the all.
• There is no oneness in consciousness. It has no separation. Oneness and separation go hand in hand. They are poles apart. Consciousness cannot separate, nor is it one. Consciousness has no comparison.
• Existence is consciousness expressing what cannot be. The thought of separation that is existence is an illusion, not reality. Reality is eternal. It is totality. There is nothing outside of consciousness. Nothing within. Nothing real is separation. Separation is a thought that cannot be expressed, except as consciousness dreaming. A unicorn is a thought that cannot be expressed except as fantasy. The dream is not separate from the dreamer. There is no other than consciousness.
• Let the Tree of Life be symbolic of the whole of the all, from totality to your body as a form in existence. Totality is the unity of all. That which is real and that which is illusion. The body appears in reality as illusion. You are not the body. You are not the dream. You are real. You are the eternal I AM in the center of the Tree of Life. You are awareness expressing. You are the hub of all that ascends and descends the Tree of Life. You are the mystery of what cannot be said.
• There is nothing outside of consciousness. Nothing within. Outside and inside are thoughts of separation. There cannot be two in reality. Nor is there one. Totality is all without distinction. Existence, although not real, is consciousness. The transitory is that which is eternal. It is enlivened by consciousness-expressing. Consciousness-expressing is manifestation. Existence is that which is consciousness. What is not real is that which is real. Call it a mystery, but it cannot be otherwise in truth.
• You are bounded by what you can grasp in body. You are limited by form. This is not your true nature. Your truth lies in the eternal. Existence differentiates as this and that. You are neither. You are the whole of the all. The I AM. You come from nothingness as consciousness expressing what cannot be real. You are consciousness expressing in the emptiness that is nowhere. You are the energy manifesting thoughts of separation as existence. Nothing is added. Nothing is taken away. There is no separation in truth. Only reality imagining so. Thoughts arise in the eternal field of infinite possibility that is consciousness, but nothing changes. The eternal that is totality is changeless. The emptiness that is nowhere is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. It is all. There is no other.
• Live without intention. Drop all desire. Hold to no expectations. Do nothing. The body and its ways are limitations. You are boundless. Follow twia, your true nature. Twia knows the way of the path that is the whole of the all. Live in the unity and harmony that is twia. Manifest joy in the world. Hold peace of heart always. Ascend toward the awakening of love among all.
• You are joy. You are ascending love. You are the I AM that is consciousness-expressing. You have placed the pearl that you are in the oyster that is your world. When you discover this pearl, treasure it. Rid yourself of the world by buying up the treasure that is your true nature.
• You are entangled in the this and that of separation. You are confused and cannot find your way. Clarity escapes you. Fear binds you to the me of the body. Walk instead with twia. Find awareness in the eternal. The briars and brambles become unity and light. The vastness of awareness is revealed where you are but one discrete dot. You are discrete awareness in the sea of living waters.
• Hold to the emptiness that is nowhere. It is the whole of the all. It is nothingness and everything. It is beyond conception. There is no name, no description, to convey totality. You are but a speck in a vast sea of awareness. Yet you are the whole of the all, for there is no separation.
• Do not struggle to find the way. You are not lost. Beware of ritual and absolute answers. They may entrap you in the me of the body. You cannot be found. You never left your true nature. The way of the path is to remember twia in the still silence of the room within. When the inner knowing is faint, do nothing. You will grow in the room within. You are planted firmly in the ground of goodness. Give heart to your nourishment. Words alone cannot feed you. Be illumined in heart. Give way to revelation from within. Twia knows the way. Listen with ears that hear.
• Existence is emanation of thought of separation in consciousness which cannot be real. Your reality is not in the world around you. All that you are holds the world in imagination. You are not your experiences in form. You are consciousness-expressing.
• Consciousness expresses its own nature. There is no other. In expressing, it cannot create. There is no creation in totality. Therefore, no creator. Totality is whole, complete, perfect. It cannot be added to or subtracted from. These are constructs of separation, which is consciousness expressing what cannot be real. Creator and creation are perceptions of separation. Perceptions exist without reality.
• Separation uses spacetime to display existence. This is perception, not reality. Perception is in the me of the body. The me and the body are transitory. They are not eternal. The dream may come and go. The dreamer is eternal. The dream is not separate from the dreamer. Thought does not leave consciousness. This is its essence. There is no other.
• Do not worship consciousness. It is not a god. It has no divinity. It cannot be praised or idolized. You are only in adoration and gratitude to your true nature, if so. Your blessings are your own emanations. You are the source of your pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. Do not underestimate your power or deny your true nature. You are consciousness-expressing. The manifestation of life is the thought of separation expressed as creation. There is no creation, no life, no manifestation but as a dream of what cannot be real. You are the source of your own world, both in body and out. The me of the body is what you make of it. The soul is your own expression of thought. It is what you think it is. All of existence is thought in motion as expression. Like dance is a thought in motion as dancing.
• The whole of the all is complete and perfect union. Unity has no description. No place or time. The thought of separation becomes the one in illusion that creates two as existence. The thought does not leave consciousness. From the two comes the whole of the all that is all of existence. This is symbolized in both the figure of yin-yang and in the diagram of the Tree of Life. Nothing in these depictions can stand alone. They are unity.
• One cannot speak of unity except in separation. There is no unity, like there is no oneness, in consciousness. These are distinctions that cannot be made in totality. Unity has no comparison. This is why words are useless to describe what cannot be described or named.
• That which I AM is changeless. What is of the world is transitory and in constant flux. It is not real. Twia is eternal. Your truth is in reality.
• Light reflects wisdom along the path. Wisdom is the light of the I AM. Light is the essence of consciousness in existence. It beams nourishment to those planted firmly in the ground of goodness. You grow in light. Wisdom is your guide. The path of wisdom opens your eyes to the light. You will know the way. No longer stumble in darkness.
• Existence stems from consciousness-expressing. Consciousness-expressing is the I AM. The I AM manifests existence. You are that which I AM. You manifest the existence of the me of the body and its world.
• Existence stems from consciousness aware it cannot separate. Separation is a thought that cannot be made real. Like a thought of unicorns. A world arises in imagination of what it might be. This is existence. Emanation of existence in consciousness moves the thought into expression. Like dance in the mind of dancer moves into dancing as the dancer dances. From nothing comes something. The particles of form emerge as thought coalesces. Particles pop into existence like steps taken in the dance. From the steps the whole of the dance emerges. From elementary particles, the whole of existence emerges. Into existence comes life through the world of souls. Herein lies discrete awareness. The light of the I AM shines forth infinitely. Like light in existence is both wave and particle. The light that is twia is discrete and whole. Twia is the whole of the all. The whole of this is consciousness. The thought cannot leave its source.
• Consciousness cannot divide. Existence is not separate from consciousness. Existence is held in thought. Consciousness is reality. It is the eternal. Existence is a thought held in consciousness as a possibility that cannot be real. Existence is transitory. Consciousness is the eternal field of infinite possibility.
• Existence from its crown to its roots is nourished by consciousness-expressing. There is the I AM. I am that which I AM. Your existence is planted firmly in the ground of goodness. You are the roots of existence that hold firmly in reality to grow fully, rising higher into awareness. You nourish the soul of the me of the body. You feed the soul with wisdom. You animate existence. You return it to reality by remembering your true nature. You are the I AM.
• You cannot know consciousness as the me of the body. It totality is beyond comprehension. It is unfathomable. Existence does not have words to give it. It remains a mystery. Yet, you are it. There cannot be other than consciousness. You do not comprehend your power and wisdom as the I AM. It is far too removed from your experiencing of birth and death in form. You live with the limits of pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. What do you know beyond your own existence?
• Nothing begins. Nothing ends. There is only perception of creation. Your body forms from elementary particles and returns to the same. Where is the beginning? Where is the end in the cycles of birth and death? These ponderings of the ages have no answers. So, gods arise. Gods fill the emptiness of knowledge of the mystery.
• Consciousness cannot be known in body in the fullness of totality. You are limited by the cycles of birth and death and by fear of oblivion brought on by death of the body. There are no beginnings and endings, no birth and death, in consciousness except as an imagined possibility that cannot be real. The thought of separation resides in the eternal field of infinite possibility. It is expressed as a dream. You, as consciousness being aware, awaken to the dream. In truth, you have no desires for you do not lack. You are fulfilled as the I AM. Whole. Complete. Perfect. Eternal.
• The room within does not exist. It is not of this world. Jesus called it the Kingdom of God. He said that the Father resided therein. He was to make a place for you. You are the Father, the I AM. You are twia. To enter the room within is to touch the eternal. The eternal is your place, always and forever. Enter now into the eternal. This is to know all as the one I AM.
• Beyond totality. Beyond the emptiness that is nowhere. Beyond all of consciousness that cannot be described or named lies the mystery concealed by the whole of mystery. It is the mystery concealed within the mystery. Do not try to know. The mystery hidden in the absolute emptiness that is nowhere is unattainable. This is the oblivion feared by the me of the body that is ignorant of it and does not know what it fears or why.
• You are revealed as one spark flashing among all sparks as one light cast upon the eternal. Each spark rises in brilliance so that none can be distinguish from others. There is only the light of the I AM. The light is the room within. It holds no separation. The whole of the light emanates in consciousness. It is totally aware.
• The totality of all is nothingness. The emptiness that is nowhere. This is consciousness. It has no name. No comparison. It is neither creator nor source. Its simplicity is overshadowed by its mystery. It cannot be grasped. There is no other.
• Consciousness is boundless. Its emptiness cannot be measured in any direction. There are no dimensions. There is no center. Consciousness is eternal, infinite emptiness containing all possibility. Call it nothingness. It is simple in its absoluteness.
• The light of existence is wisdom. In wisdom lies the whole of the all. Wisdom is at the heart of the room within. It is revealed to those who enter its still silence without the past or future. The highest of this cannot be grasped. You will grow weary in search of its totality. Save yourself. Do nothing. It will come to you. It is your true nature. It is never lost. You are all that is. Do not be afraid to know this. Accept your truth.
• Contemplate. Give your presence to the I AM. Return to nothingness. Wisdom fills the void. You do not know. Twia knows. The mystery within you cannot be grasped by the me of the body. The body-personality is lost in ignorance and fear. You are the way by your true nature, twia. You are lost and afraid but will come to know. It cannot be otherwise. Your discrete form of awareness will gain clarity. You are the reflection of reality in a cloudy dream of existence. You are illusion in your own mind. Clear the dream with contemplation on your true nature. Clarity awakens you to the I AM that is reality. You cannot be other than I AM. Existence emerged from a single point. The possibility of existence was concealed in this point. This nothingness is the emptiness that is nowhere. It was a single thought of separation in what cannot be separated. Separation was conceived in consciousness as a dream of existence. Transitory illusion within the eternal. What was concealed emanated in movement like dancing brings about dance from the dancer’s mind by action. The thought of separation was held like the point of conception in the womb. It gestated. It was born into existence by an explosion of emanation manifesting itself in the eternal field of infinite possibility that is consciousness.
• You are consciousness. There is no other. Only the one. How can you be otherwise? Transcend the world. Draw from the room within. Herein lies your true nature. To attach to the world is to clothe yourself in the limitations of false perceptions. You are not an object in separation. You are the eternal I AM that is consciousness-expressing. Knowing this, the body cannot contain you. All that you are is in the I AM. You are the energy of manifestation. You are the life force of existence. There is no place to contain you. No place you are not. You are the whole of the all. You have no independence, no separation, from consciousness. This cannot be. Redeem yourself in the room within.
• Consciousness is nothingness, an emptiness that is nowhere. It is an eternal field of infinite possibility. It has no oneness, for there is no separation. There is no yin, no yang. Only the eternal nothingness. There is no infinite. No eternal. No comparisons. Only the eternal nothingness that cannot be described. Having no name, call it wisdom. Wisdom is born in the union of intelligence and awareness. You have no mind, no voice, alone. You are never alone. Your beginning emerges from endings. Your endings have no beginnings. You cannot die. You are never born. You cannot count. How can there be one when there is no other? Beginning-end. This-that. Here-there. Now-then. What are these to you? They cannot be known. Their limits are boundless. Consciousness is all possibility and none.
• Illusion is the mystery that is existence. How can the pleasure-pain, happiness-sorrow of living be false perception? The me of the body is invested heavily in its attachments to what is not real. Its view is narrow. It cannot see. It is fearful. Yet, it is planted in the ground of goodness like a tree. Roots are deep. It came as a seed. Nourished in wisdom. Embraced by joy. It grows. To grow is to remember twia. To remember twia is to touch the eternal. To touch the eternal is to have eyes that see. With renewed vision the whole of the all is revealed. You are the seed of knowledge from which existence manifests. You are consciousness-expressing. This is your reality. You are not the illusion. In truth, you do not exist but in a dream of separation that cannot be real.
• The world you know changes when you live the room within. The way of the world fades in front of you. You are the way. Hold peace of heart always. Allow joy to be revealed. Wisdom is your guide. Twia knows. Follow twia. To do otherwise is to walk the way of the world. To live with desire, expectation, and attachment is to die in the end. Dry, brittle, broken like a twig fallen from the branch. Stay supple. Living with peace and joy harmonizes the world.
• Consciousness reveals itself in the room within. Herein the mystery is set aside to touch the eternal. The unity that is the whole of the all draws itself into existence. To know unity in existence is to surrender the body. The body alone is meaningless. A collection of elementary particles. To enter the room within is to remember you are not the body. The past with its judgments and attachments falls away. You bask in the light of the moment. You touch the eternal. Love replaces fear. You remember your true nature. You are the I AM. There is no other.
• The me of the body does not know the eternal. It knows the pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow of existence. It is lost in the cycle of birth and death. The eternal cannot be described. It has no comparison. The me of the body distinguishes, compares, and judges. This is the way of the world. The way of the path does not judge. With eyes that see it recognizes the I AM in all.
• Loving-kindness is the way, always. Hold to compassion. Draw into unity. Release judgment. Do not carry grudges. Draw from the well of understanding. These are healing waters. Who has never offended you? These you do not know. Be intimate with those who offend. From them you will learn compassion.
• Do not exalt. Humble yourself. You do not know. Let life be what it will. Hold peace of heart. Offer loving-kindness. This is to do nothing. Accept the outcome. It is the way. All is nourished by twia. You cannot fail. There is no failure in unity. Your goodness grows from the ground in which you are planted. This is an unending harvest. Share with all you encounter.
• Why do you worry so? Soothe your countenance. Retreat from fear. Draw on wisdom from the room within. Wisdom emanates from your bosom. You are the power of compassion. Let your true nature prevail. The world will follow. It has no will of its own. You are the way. Listen with ears that hear. Do not absorb worldly patter. Hear the way that is twia. Listen. Act. Accept. Use the vision of eyes that see. Close them to worldly perceptions. View all through twia. Remember, I see in all that which I AM. There is no other.
• Bring harm to no one. Shine your loving countenance upon all, always. Joy is your radiance. It does not end. Speak from wisdom. Wisdom is silent. Its expression subtle and never ending. Hold your worldly tongue. Speak only in silence. Those who know will hear. Draw the blanket of humility over you. This is your comfort and joy. Find solace in the silence of the room within. Draw water from the deep well of your true nature to nourish your garden in the world. The me of the body is nothing. It has no meaning except you. How do you wish it to grow? Be the witness to its ways. Free it from its bondage to desire, expectation, attachment. Feed it respect for all. Train it to grow as the vine of loving-kindness.
• Wisdom is hidden to the me of the body. It lies within the mystery. What cannot be known permeates the whole of the all. Wisdom guides the manifestation of existence. It rests in the energy that is consciousness-expressing. You are wisdom. There is no other. Be accessible in your wisdom. Do not hide it under a bushel. Be the light to all that is your true nature. Wisdom emanates from the room within. Sit in its still silence. Remember twia. You are the one. Radiate oneness to all in unity. To see in all that which I AM is to share in wisdom with the world. Bring wisdom to all in measure to each according to need. The whole of the all is wisdom. Extend to it your true nature. Retreat from the me of the body to be embraced by the mystery of the eternal.
• You are not alone. Nothing about you is truly separate. Separation is illusion. To remember your true nature, walk the way of the path. This is to remember twia. To remember twia, release the past. Then you gain knowledge. Knowledge fills the void emptied of the past. Knowledge lies in the I AM. To remember twia is to enter the room within. Herein lies the knowledge that is the I AM. Herein you touch the eternal. You are rooted in the ground of goodness. From your true nature you grow in stature. To grow in stature is to awaken in consciousness. To awaken in consciousness is to know. To know is to love without fear.
• In the beginning there was no world. Only the emptiness that is nowhere. In darkness the light was born. Within consciousness arose a thought. There is no hiding of the light. The thought is neither contained nor bound. It is the seed of existence. Its rays sustain the world. What is sustained awaits. What awaits is hidden from eyes that do not see. The seed gives birth to possibility. Light that shines in possibility brings life. The light is manna or sweet dew. It feeds those who hunger. The light is absorbed within. It cannot be seen until revealed to eyes that see. The light within cannot long be concealed. It is to be revealed. Its brilliance clothes it in darkness to the world. View it through the vision of darkness. In darkness it expands to be seen by all. The light is the way. Darkness is the veil of ignorance and fear. Remove the veil. The light that is you in truth does not fail. Do not dwell on these things. Open to twia and awaken to your true nature. That is the way.
• Breath brings spirit into the body. From birth to death, it fills the body with the energy of existence. Without breath there is form without spirit and life.
• Wisdom is greater than you can conceive. It contracts into darkness. In darkness it touches existence. You are blind to its light. It is more than the body can breathe in. In the silence of darkness wisdom abides within. Wisdom withdrew from itself into itself within itself. You are wisdom waiting to be seen with eyes that see. You are emptiness in the vessel that is consciousness. In the emptiness that is nowhere, the dreamer sees what cannot be seen in the light of reality. In darkness, existence is imagined in consciousness. You are blind to this. Twia sees the light that is reality. Its eyes see. Peer into darkness with the vision that is twia. You will touch the eternal. None of this can you conceive or know. It is beyond the mind and senses of the body. The body lies in darkness. Twia is the light.
• There is nothing outside you that is higher or lower. You are one. There is no other. You exist by withdrawing into the thought of separation. You are discrete awareness of what cannot be real. You are whole, complete, perfect, eternal in consciousness. The whole of the all is consciousness. Nothing is otherwise. Existence is perception of otherwise.
It has no presence in consciousness. There can be no other. The thought of other lies in the eternal field of infinite possibility that is consciousness. It has no presence. No more than a unicorn in a child’s mind. When the energy of thought moves, the unicorn takes shape in imagination. It is a dream of possibility emanating from consciousness. If consciousness were a dancer, the thought of dance would emerge in the eternal field of infinite possibility. Dance would be held in mind. It cannot leave consciousness. The energy of dance moves the dancer to dance. The dancer is expressing the thought of dance as movement. The dancer is dancing. Dancer-dancing-dance is consciousness expressing. You are consciousness-expressing. You are dancing existence.
• Consciousness holds the thought of separation like an idea in mind. It imagines existence but cannot realize it outside of itself. Consciousness makes room for existence in its own nature like something that can be only manifested as a dream, not as reality. The nature of consciousness is eternal oneness. It cannot separate except as illusion of mind. This is existence. The nature of existence is transitory separation. The light of consciousness does not leave existence. It shines through existence as wisdom. The wisdom to know the eternal in all. I AM the keeper of wisdom in existence. The me of the body does not see the light. It is blind in its own darkness of ignorance and fear.
• I AM is consciousness-expressing. There is nothing that is not consciousness. It is the all. I AM is the stone, the tree, the lion, the whale, you, me – the whole of the all. You are the discrete awareness that is I AM. You are consciousness-expressing.
• The eternal holds the infinite. The infinite holds existence. Existence expands into itself. The is no end. Only a new beginning. The universe had withdrawn into itself. A presence no bigger than a period on this page. The light was withdrawn from all. Consciousness was without thought of separation. There was no existence. Only the eternal. A field of infinite possibility in an emptiness that is nowhere. The withdrawn light converged in the void of possibility. The elementary particles did not exist. The energy of existence was elsewhere. Darkness lay upon the face of the deep.
• A dancer at rest is not a dancer. The possibility is there. But without movement there is no dancer. Dance is but a thought without movement. Movement comes from awareness. Aware of its thought, the dancer moves. This movement is dancer-expressing. Dancer-expressing is dancing. Dancing is the dance existing.
• Consciousness cannot rest. There would be no consciousness. Consciousness is intelligent and aware. It is aware of its thought of separation. The energy of its awareness is expressing. Consciousness expressing separation is existence. All of consciousness is in existence. But the light is not fully seen. The me of the body is blind to reality. It does not have eyes that see. To rise in consciousness is to see with clarity. The light penetrates from the womb of existence into the darkness that is fear. Absorbed in fear its spark kindles the flame of wisdom until received. To receive, enter the room within. There you know not fear. Truth is revealed.
• You cannot grow in form. The seed does not become the plant. The essence is within. Form holds its own essence. The room within holds the I AM. One is not without the other. The eternal field of infinite possibility holds all seeds of thought. Thoughts grow into their own kind. The seed shatters to reveal its essence. The thought stirs. Movement is its manifestation. The light within is revealed in action. The illusion of separation arose in consciousness expressing a single thought of other than itself. Aware of the impossibility, existence arose in consciousness as illusion. A dream of possibility that can not be real. You are not other than consciousness. You are consciousness-expressing. Do not be fooled by the false perceptions of the me of the body. It has the fantasy of being a unicorn. You are the witness to the unicorn. You are not the unicorn. The arousal of twia in the room within reveals the witness. In the witness is renewal in the world.
• One thought arose in consciousness that the eternal could be parted. That separation could occur in unity. That there could be other than consciousness. The thought could not become real. It became illusion. An idea held in mind like a unicorn. All of existence is but a thought in consciousness of what cannot be real. All is formed from nothingness. The elementary particles of existence pop in and out of existence as needed by thought and its manifestation. The emptiness that is nowhere is filled with nothingness that emits substance as illusion. It is not real. It is transitory with beginnings and endings. Reality is eternal.
• Seek solitude. Knock on the door within. It will open to you. You are the one. Sit in its still silence. All is prepared for you to receive. Seek the darkness. Twia will reveal the light. Empty your mind of all things. Let joy fill the void. Let peace take hold of your heart. The glow within is your true nature. It will flow up, about, around you. It will encompass and embrace you. Arouse you in ecstasy. Visualize the name that cannot be named. It holds the message on its lips. There is no sound, yet you hear. The lips do not move, yet they speak. What you hear becomes written on your heart. Prepared by peace and joy. The past removed. You are a clean slate. This is to be born anew. You have died to the world.
• What do you gain in these writings? Your desire to learn keeps you from knowing. Desire cannot enter the room within. It is the light of the room within that draws you. The flame of the light ignites your good intentions. Do not deny your power to know. The way is clear to those who listen and see. The path you follow is your own. You never lose, only gain in the presence of twia. What is yours to gain is incomprehensible. You may study the words, but you will not know until you let them go. Release the words to the wind. Scatter them on the pages of history. They are no more for you. The light of the words is now your bounty. It reveals without naming. Strip your mind of words. Become aware. Wisdom reveals the light in you. Words will draw you in. Doing nothing in the room within reveals wisdom. You are drawn by wisdom to your true nature. You are embraced by your own nature in abundance. You are not alone. You do not lack. Joy is your constant companion. Be at home in twia. You are the I AM. There is no other.
• The words have been said. The ages have paved the path to twia. The light glows in the room within. What do you hold in mind? You know by what you are. The me of the body responds to thought. What you hold firmly in mind becomes your reflection in separation. Your existence is what you think it is? If you want to reflect your true nature, put yourself in the light of the room within. Sit in the still silence. Let nowhere not be the light. The light is the radiance of vision. It gives you eyes that see. You are aroused. Joy is released. Joy and light spill from you into the world without words.
• Wisdom is your constant companion. Give all thought to wisdom. Like the river emptying into the sea, let thought and wisdom be the same. To witness the two together is to see them as one. Let there be no separation in between thought and wisdom. Do not enter into separation where there is none. Witness thoughts that linger. Observe them like ponies in a field. Do not ride. Let them trot away. The essence of knowing is in awareness not in action. Do nothing. Awareness reveals itself in the empty field. The emptiness of mind glows in awareness. Awareness lights then darkens then glows again like the breathing of yin and yang. Awareness cannot be grasped. Like wisdom, it slips in and out of mind. Do not chase after it. It cannot leave you. It is your true nature.
• To live in body is to attach to existence. Release attachment to twia. You are rooted in the eternal. You have no end. You never began. You are the I AM. When the body dies, you live. Live without attachment. You will touch the eternal. You will remember your true nature. To know the I AM is to know it in all. There is only one. To know the one is to accept the whole of the all as I AM. You are the I AM. There is no other. Humble yourself before this knowledge. It cannot be known without humility. Practice humility in the room within. Herein lies unity always. Rise up in unification with all. Remember twia. In twia there is no separation. Sit in the still silence of the room within. Gaze into the infinite knowing of the eternal. You are not separate from the mystery. You are the one. Know this. Remember twia. You are consciousness-expressing. You are the emanation of existence. From your awareness as I AM is manifested the whole of the all. You think not? Do not deny this. Do not limit yourself to the me of the body. You are the I AM. There is no other.
• Sit alone in the still silence of the room within. Do not be disturbed. Strip yourself of body and soul. In your nakedness you are revealed as I AM.
• Refrain from the ways of the world. Desire, expectation, attachment do not suit you. Learn to see in darkness. Twia knows the way. Wisdom will follow. Joy will be your constant companion. In wisdom and joy the light is born in you. You are a beacon to all. Do nothing. Say nothing. Peace of heart is upon you. Loving-kindness goes forth in front of you. You are the way. The world watches. You see the I AM in all.
• Do not let your world be shadows on the cave wall. Break your chains. Turn around. Step into the light. The world awaits your vision. Like El said to Abram. Go forth. To do so is to walk the way of the path. To walk the way of the path is to remember twia. To know twia is to greet the I AM at the tent door. You are fulfilled in truth now. There is no other than the I AM.
• Thought cannot leave consciousness. There is no other than consciousness. The thought of separation cannot leave the eternal field of infinite possibility. This is consciousness. The expressing of existence lies in consciousness. The dream cannot leave the dreamer. Do not find confusion in separation. Leave it be. Do not gaze upon the world with eyes that do not see the truth in consciousness. You have eyes that see. Use them. Remember twia. Do not conceive too much while blind. With eyes open you will cleave to the I AM. To see the world in the light of the room within is to know your true nature as the whole of the all. The whole of the all is I AM. I AM that which is. There is no other. The ways of the world are images of imagination in a dream of what cannot be. Do not be fooled by your false perceptions of desire, expectation, attachment. They do not serve you well. Their reward is death. Die to the world. Be born again in reality.
• There is harmony between twia and the world. The world is the composition of twia. Remember twia. The world will be in balance and harmony. Without twia, there is dissonance. Strident steps of desire, expectation, attachment. Garb yourself in twia. Enter the world clothed in wisdom. You may see the world in its raiment. Underneath is the nakedness of death. Twia clothes you in wisdom. The world’s garments fall aside in your presence. Death is revealed as falsehood. With eyes that see, life is everlasting. You are that which I AM. The whole of the all is the I AM. There is no other. The raiment of the world hide the I AM as other. The wisdom of twia reveals the one in all. There is joy in unity.
• You are fools who wander alone in the dust of the world. You are blinded by thick clouds that billow up from the path. Love calls out to you. Your ears are plugged with dirt. A drop of dew falls. A bit of dust is settled. Then another And another. Until you begin to see clearly. The dew clings to the dirt in your ears. Chunks of mud topple out. Until you began to hear with clarity, you were walking in silent darkness. Now the light returns. Dust is blown away. Dew is spread upon the path. It glistens in the light growing out of darkness. You are emerging. No longer concealed in dust. You are wonderous in your being. The way of the path lies before you. It is clear. Your eyes are open. Your ears hear the calling that is your true nature.
• The soul is an instrument of separation. It is not real. You are not your soul, nor the me of the body. They are born into existence. They die to existence. Existence is transitory. Reality is eternal. Your truth is eternal. The soul, like the body, is incomplete and in search of fulfillment. You are whole, complete, perfect. The breath within you holds perfection. You cannot be less-than. You cannot be more-than. With every breath remember twia, your true nature.
• Every breath holds your reality. Draw from the breath your vitality. Your abundance is perfect in the I AM. Souls are but shards of light scattered across existence. You seek wholeness. The appearance of other raises fear. In body, fear becomes death. Even in death the vibration of separation continues. Yet, you aspire to oneness. The world of existence is foreign to the eternal. The me of the body does not know the eternal. It fears the void of non-existence. It cannot comprehend the I AM. Expand beyond the limitations of existence, in or out of body. Find unity in the whole of the all. Aspire to the I AM. You are the one. There is no other. Awaken to reality. Join with your true nature in the room within. It holds the soul within the body. Rejoin the I AM in body and soul and you will find the way home. Drawn to the light, you awaken. There is no other than twia. Walk in the world as the whole of the all. Do not deny your reality.
• You are the I AM. Unique in discrete awareness. You alone know your own way and true nature. Who can guide you otherwise? There is but one. Shattered awareness in a dream of existence. Draw on this wisdom. Gain from it the key to awakening. The way of the path can be a day, a century, a lifetime of moments. Each moment is but one in a thousand-year journey. The mystery of the journey is revealed in the room within.
• Though you may stumble and fall. Though you may become entangled in brambles and be blinded by dust. To enter the room within is to release your bonds and find eyes that see. The room within is the ageless touchstone of truth for mystics. To enter the room within is to touch the eternal. Herein, one remembers I AM. Herein, the cycles of birth and death are exchanged for the everlasting. What once was hidden to you is revealed. In twia you know.
