Twia is your path
Harmonize your mind with twia. Do not keep to the separation. You are not alone. Do not wander. Do not be a stranger to your true nature. Walk the way of the path. Remember twia. Can twia lose the way? Who can be lost in the night sky, among the stars, and not know the way when following twia on the true path. Enter the emptiness. It is at the hub that the wheel turns. It is in the emptiness that all is accomplished. It is at the center that all is calm. Find action in doing nothing. The room within is the center of your world. It holds peace of heart always. From peace of heart, wisdom and joy fill the night sky.
Twia is without form. It has no place. It cannot be grasped or possessed. Do not imagine what you cannot know. Do not perceive what does not exist. You cannot see it here. You will not find it there. To think of twia is to separate from your true nature. In separation you feel alone and lost. You perceive form all around you. You cannot see through the dust to find the path. You have lost the reality of twia. To know twia, sit still. Enter the room within. Experience twia in the still silence of emptiness. Herein you touch the eternal.
Your mind distorts reality into images that match your imagination. You exist among perceptions derived from the me of the body. The me of the body lives in a world of its own making from ignorance and fear. Neither it nor its world is real. To know this is to be the witness. You are the witness to all. Your roots run deep. You are the connection of thought in consciousness with manifestation of existence. You are consciousness-expressing.
Submerge yourself in the river’s flow. Nourish yourself in its waters. Release desire. Receive the water’s bounty. The water dissolves pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. It releases joy. Joy offers buoyancy as you flow to the sea.
Do not choose between this and that. There is no sacred. No profane. Do not embrace the limitations of the world. You are planted firmly in the ground of goodness. You reach beyond your thoughts. You embody the whole of the all. Do not limit yourself to pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. Abandon your beliefs in the me of the body. You are greater than form and personality. You are the whole of the all. You are I AM. There is no other.
