There is no other than I AM
Find joy in all. Joy is love without fear. To lose all desire is joy. The me of the body does not know joy. To know joy, drop all attachments.
You cannot judge another. There is no other. You cannot hope for more or better. There is no lack. There is the whole of the all. Complete. Perfect. Eternal. Do not contend with the world. Accept twia. Twia is your true nature. Your worldly desires and expectations have forged links in Marley’s chain. Do not drag it about. Cast the chain aside. Do not be weighed down by your attachments to the me of the body. The truth of this is known in twia. Remember twia. Your power is in the silence and solitude of the room within. Enter when ready.
Embrace fully the silence of the whole of the all. From your embrace springs loving-kindness for all without judgment and hope. Do not entangle yourself in desire and expectation. This leads to pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. This strengthens your attachments to the me of the body. You are left walking the way of the world in endless cycles of birth and death. You cannot see on this path. You are blinded by its billowing dust. Enter the room within. Clear your eyes. Remember twia. Accept the whole of the all as your domain. It is in consciousness that you live and breathe and have your being. In consciousness you are whole, complete, perfect, eternal without attachment to worldly ways. To know this is to walk the way of the path. To walk the way of the path is to remember twia. There is no other than I AM. Do nothing to find the way. Enter the room within empty of desire and expectation. You do not know. Twia knows. Follow twia always. Twia knows no bounds. In twia you touch the eternal.
Ignorance and fear govern the me of the body. It seeks a way to safety. Desire floods its being. Expectation drives it forward. In the end it struggles to avoid oblivion. It is but particles gathered in form. To these particles it returns. It is ignorant of your true nature. It fears the abyss of death. It clings to form at all costs. It dies without knowing. To this you bring the witness. The witness offers the way out of the cycle of birth and death.
There is no other than you. You are I AM. Whole. Complete. Perfect. Eternal. Be the witness to reality. Do not dedicate yourself to the ways of the world. They are transitory. You are eternal. The witness is aware of I AM. Direct awareness opens your eyes to reality. You see through separation to the whole of the all. You need no other to guide you. You are the one. To turn to gods and guides is to disconnect from the eternal you. You lose yourself in the wilderness. You wander. Seeking. Unending. What you seek is within. You are the treasure you desire. The pearl of knowledge is within you. Enter the room within. Hold counsel in the still silence. Remember twia. Release the world. In you lies the whole of the all. Be its witness with eyes that see. You are the way. There is no other than I AM. In this you may rest eternally.
You will not find the way by looking outside of yourself. There is nothing but fear between you and knowing. To know is to accept your true nature. You are joy. You are love without fear. Do not cling to fear by turning to gods and guides for release from pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. You are whole, complete, perfect, eternal now. Be your own witness to this reality. You are the one. There is no other than I AM.
