Reflections on Hua Hu Ching
July 9, 2023
All is I AM
Do not hold to other than I AM. All is I AM. There is no other. Absorb yourself into the whole of the all. Live in awareness of consciousness in all. You are that which I AM. The room within has no barriers. All are welcome as the same.
The way of the world is pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow fed by desire and expectation. Your desires are driven by ignorance and fear. The me of the body is ignorant of your true nature and fears oblivion. The way of the path is to remember twia. To remember twia, live simply. Close to the ground. Tread softly on the land. Leave no trace. See the whole of the all everywhere in everything. Nothing is left out. Be aware of consciousness in all. Practice loving-kindness. As you give to each you will receive. Consider your true nature in all.
Rest in the sanctity of the room within. It is your shelter. Do not wander. Do not stray. Hold tight to twia. You will know from within the way of life. The deep nature of life is steadiness in a changing world. Steadiness amidst turmoil is expression of your true nature. To remain steady, live simply, do nothing, act from twia, accept all outcomes with peace of heart. This is the way of the path.
When will you have the outside world exactly as you like? Have reverence toward life without expectations. Release desire. Be the witness to thought and emotion. You will see light in darkness. You are the way. All is I AM.
Free yourself of the me of the body. Its way is fearful and ignorant. Embrace twia. In twia you remember that you are whole, complete, perfect, eternal. There is no separation to keep you from holding peace of heart in all situations. From peace of heart, show loving-kindness to all. What you give returns. Be gentle in your ways. Step back. Do not control. Step forward in harmony with all without judgment and hope. Do not dwell on these things. Follow twia. The morrow will find its way. From twia bring love without fear, kindness, simplicity, and wisdom into each moment. Then you will know joy and abundance as your true nature. Be aware of each moment. You will know fulfillment. Your life is rightly accomplished in twia.
