Remembering (#2012)
Reflections while wandering the way of the path: Twia is our true nature. It wants to shine in the world, but we cover it with a veil of worldly desire. Jesus said not to hide it. Who lights a lamp only to put it under a bushel basket? Set it on a table to shine throughout the house. You are the light. Let twia shine out from you so that all can see. Let us all embrace our light and shine across the land in unison. Jesus likened it to a city on a hill which cannot be concealed. The light of twia casts truth far and wide from the mountain top when we focus not on worldly desires but on oneness and love.

To walk the way of the path is to act with compassion and then to let go of any expectation. Hold peace of heart instead. Do not judge by the ways of the world. Drop all thought of this, then not that, or if that, then not this. In oneness, there is no this and that, no them and us. There is unity. To touch consciousness, seek the silence of the room within. The still silence reveals emptiness and all possibilities. The silence has no limitations. In silence, I AM. The potential of the whole of the all lies in emptiness. The I AM arises in emptiness as twia. The appearance of the world manifests in twia, which is awareness, the energy of manifestation. This appearance is existence. Twia does not exist. Twia is real, but it manifests existence. The appearance of manifestation is existence, which is illusion. Thoughts of separation in consciousness go in and out of existence like the subatomic particles that form the universe. Existence arises in twia, which is discrete awareness. What appears as manifestation goes in and out of existence. Manifestation never loses touch with reality which is eternal. The room within holds the emptiness that spawns the whole of the all. This emptiness is the realm of twia. Clear the room of the past to know this. It is your true nature. Our power of existence animates the me of the body. The body has no life or meaning of its own. Without twia, it is inanimate matter. To know twia, empty the mind. Hold peace of heart. The power that is twia brings about existence. Existence holds the power within. Twia is in all things. All things are twia. The power that is twia is revealed in existence. Darrell will cease to exist, but twia is eternal. You cannot go looking for twia. Your attempts will be like a fish swimming about looking for water. You will never find twia anywhere but where you are. To look for twia is to not know your reality. Twia knows. Twia embraces you like water embraces the fish. Stop seeking and release yourself to the embrace. Once you know the embrace of twia you disappear. The Tao reminds us to remember our oneness that it does not separate into ten thousand worries. Jesus said, can you add an hour to your life by fretting about it? This wisdom reaches us today. When we try to run the show alone, we worry, fuss, and get upset that things are not right. We listen too much to the me of the body. This is not the way of the path. Stop letting the me of the body do your thinking and embrace twia instead. Drop your worldly baggage, enter the room within, and fall into the embrace of twia. In all things do nothing as the me of the body but in twia alone.
