Reflections on Hua Hu Ching

You are awareness
Your roots run deep in the ground of goodness. You cannot be moved. Steadfast and sure are your days. Use them wisely without forethought. Do nothing. Be in tune with twia always. Twia brings all to fruition.
Consciousness has no form. It is without being. It is the emptiness that is nowhere. An eternal field of infinite possibility. This is the ground of goodness in which your roots run deep. You do not know this. These are only words. Signposts. They are not knowledge. To know is to be empty of words. The me of the body is a gathering of particles in existence. It is filled with vital energy. Without vitality, the me of the body returns to particles. Attachment to the form induces suffering. Your perceptions in body feed desire and expectation. They lead to pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow.
You move about in existence from subtle energy to manifest form. First your energy as discrete awareness comes into being, then your form, then your cycles of birth and death. This is existence. You know existence as the me of the body living in the world. Existence as you do not know it is beyond the form. It is the subtle energy, or vitality, of awareness. You are awareness. Awareness is I AM. I AM is consciousness-expressing. Be aware as the witness. To be the witness is to remember twia. In twia you are fulfilled.
The world stands before you. To choose its ways is to live in pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. To choose the way of the path is to put forth the witness. To witness the world is to remember twia. You are that which I AM. You are not your body, nor your personality with its thoughts and emotions. The me of the body is a transitory collection of particles in existence. You are the eternal I AM. There is no other.
