Contemplative meanderings
There is one power in existence. The whole of the all. The I AM. You are I AM. You are the power that is existence. You are consciousness-expressing. You are the expressing that is the whole of the all. The whole of the all is consciousness in existence. This is I AM. You are I AM. There is no other.
You are that which I AM, or twia. To remember twia, enter the room within. Herein lies the power that is existence, or your true nature. To know your true nature, sit in the still silence within. Hold to the light that shines in darkness. This is wisdom. Wisdom is your true nature. To know this is to be aware. You are awareness. I AM is the awareness of consciousness expressing separation as existence.
To be aware is to have nowhere to go. Nothing to achieve. Awareness comes from the room within. To be aware is to attend to the moment in still silence. Be the witness with eyes that see and ears that hear. To live in the light of awareness is wisdom.
The witness is aware of the me of the body as a projection of separation, not as reality. Be the witness to thoughts, emotions, actions – both yours and others. They are not you, nor your neighbor. Act from awareness. Let twia be your guide. Accept all outcomes with peace of heart. What you tell yourself about your experiences becomes your world. As the adage goes, be careful what you wish for. You live the thoughts you hold in mind. Learn to live in the light of awareness. Be wise in your ways.
Awareness is not a goal. Do not add it to your desires and hold expectations for its attainment. Then you are stuck in the ways of the world. You will suffer in pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow around your efforts to attain awareness. Do nothing. Enter the room within. Sit in the still silence. Remember twia without purpose or effort. To stop is to arrive. You are going nowhere by yourself. You are not alone. You are that which I AM.
Awareness does not bring happiness. Happiness is found in the ways of the world. Do not contend with sorrow or find elation in happiness. They are emotions of the me of the body. They are not you. You are joy unending.
Awareness is the state of being witness to the ways of the world. Awareness is a state of being awake in the world, not a goal for attainment. You are the dancing that is existence. So be the dancing that you are. Live in awareness without effort. Water does nothing to get wet. Wetness is its nature. Do nothing to reveal your true nature. Live your life as its witness. You are I AM. No effort required.
Be aware without judgment. Have no thought of this and that. Do not hold one over the other. Yin and yang are nestled as two in oneness. Follow twia. Remember your oneness in the whole of the all.
