Reflections on Hua Hu Ching

In twia, do nothing
I AM is consciousness-expressing. The whole of the all is consciousness. There is no other. No creator. No source. No oneness. Each is a form of separation. There is no separation but in mind. You hold it there with ignorance and fear. You fear oblivion because you are ignorant of I AM.
Existence forms in consciousness as a thought of separation. It cannot be made real. The whole of existence is transitory. It has no creator. No source. There is no separation from consciousness. Like there is no separation of dancing from dancer. They are the same. They are integration of movement without an outside source or creator. The me of the body is your experience of existence. It comes and goes without any outside source or creator. It forms under the physical laws of the universe, and it disperses in the same manner. You are a random collection of particles in existence as the me of the body. Therefore, to know, do nothing. Hold to your true nature which is that which I AM.
Allow for the natural course of events. Let the river flow freely. You can alter the way of the world. The way of the path goes through twia. It cannot be altered. It is the way. What you think, say, and do is the world in which you live. You can dig channels for the river. Dam its flow. Construct sluices to carry it above the fray. This is to live in the cycles of birth and death by your own doing. It is a constant experience of pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow fed by desire and expectation. This is you experiencing the me of the body. It is not your true nature. You are not the me of the body, nor its thoughts and emotions. You are twia. In twia, do nothing. Twia knows the way. Twia knows the river’s natural course.
The mind is delusional with thought. It constantly considers this and that where there is none. It perceives with eyes that are blind and ears that are deaf. It does not know and is filled with words that cannot say. The chatter of the mind casts shadows of separation across the threshold of the room within. Knock at the door. Let it open. Witness your thoughts in the light of twia. Do not judge. Do not hope. Keep to the moment. Be mindful of thought that it does not cause conflict and suffering.
