Knowledge lies within
What is reality? You cannot know. It is beyond your grasp as the me of the body. You live in confusion.
The world is filled with truths. To remember your own true nature, enter the room within. Clarity comes from twia. To remember twia, sit in the still silence of the room within. Observe the whole of the all. Feel the harmony of existence. Live in unity without separation. Do not contend. Step into the river’s natural flow. Let the waters carry you. They know the way to the sea. Follow the lowlands. The nature of existence is transition. Witness your transition in body from birth to death. To be the witness to existence is to live from your true nature of wisdom and joy. Leave ignorance and fear to the me of the body. Outside pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow is joy. Joy is the power of I AM. It has no opposite. Embrace joy as the changeless and absolute.
Unite yourself in the whole of the all. There is no other than I AM. Transcend illusion with knowledge of twia. Twia is the way. The way is to hold peace of heart in all situations. Do not be limited by desires and expectations. Expand awareness. Be the witness to desire. Hold no expectations. Be without judgment and hope. Desire leads to this and that. This and that are separation. Do not remove yourself from the whole of the all. Enter the room within. Let twia nurture your return to oneness. To live in oneness is to know twia. Find harmony in twia. Act in twia. Alone you are lost in separation. There is in you the eternal. It cannot be denied.
Live simply and serenely. Hold to the moment. Follow twia. Twia knows the way. To ignore twia is to follow the desires and expectations of the me of the body. Desire and expectation fuel pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. Judgment and hope ensue. This is to walk the way of the world. It is a cycle of birth and death. To walk the way of the path is to remember twia. To know twia is to know joy. In joy lies peace of heart always. Let the serenity of heartfelt peace prevail in all situations. This is to walk in the world in wisdom and joy.
Intellect can unravel the mysteries of the universe. It can probe the world in which you live. Your senses perceive existence. They distinguish this and that. The me of the body describes and names. You separate the world into parts and pieces. You seek understanding. In this way you learn. Beyond learning and understanding of the universe lies knowledge. Knowledge lies within. It is the gateway to the eternal.
