Remembering (#2020)
Reflections while wandering the way of the path:
We struggle, but that is not our calling. Our own ways cause our pains. We spend our days overcoming the lack we perceive in our lives.
Stop trying to shape the world in your own image. Open your heart to the moment and be at peace with the situation presented. Surrender to twia. Let twia guide your actions. Act, then release all expectations you have of desired outcomes. Twia knows the way. Walk the way of the path with your true nature. Live simply and patiently, with compassion. This is the way to peace of heart.
To act is to choose. Choose the way of the path. Remember twia always in all things. Do not follow the ways of the world. The me of the body follows its own desires, which are rooted in fear. This ground is shallow and cannot sustain you. Plant yourself in the ground of goodness that is twia. Roots planted deep in twia hold fast in worldly storms. Remember to say, I am grounded in twia.
Live simply, from the inside out. Bring true vision to the world. See it through the eyes of twia as the oneness that it is. Be content in simplicity. Do not complicate it with desire. Flourish in the moment. There you find peace of heart.
Remember that which you are. You are the I AM. Call it twia. Remember to say, I AM that which I am. Remembering twia is the way of the path. Twia is reality: whole, complete, perfect, eternal.
Return to the room within. This is the home you never left. To return is to remember your true nature. Live this reality in the moment. To live life in the moment is to live in harmony with twia. Let things be the way they are. Hold peace of heart in all situations. Without desire for how you think things should be you can have compassion with that which is.
The ways of the world clutter the room within. Open the doors and windows. Sweep the dust from the floor. Shake out the rugs. Scrub down the walls. Toss the boxes of memories, hopes, and dreams. These thoughts and desires are not yours. They are the worlds. Let twia sanctify the emptiness that is left. Imagine purifying wisps of smoky sage swirling through the room, making way for peace and joy. Let each moment in your life be an act of twia.
It is better being in the world as twia than living immersed in it as the me of the body. When you accept the ways of the world as the path to fulfillment, you fail. To live as the me of the body is to suffer. Instead, be in the world with eyes that see the oneness of it all. Exist in unity with everything that touches you. Let simplicity, patience, and compassion be your guide. These are the ways of twia.
Twia moves the world towards oneness. The me of the body sees only separation. It is weak and limited. Follow the me of the body and you die. You escape death because you never were born. It is the body that comes and goes. To live in body through twia is to know the oneness that is reality. To live fully as the me of the body is to exist in illusion only. In twia lies the eternal. Follow twia. Herein you will know your true power as consciousness expressing. Live in the fullness of your being by remembering twia. This is the way of the path.
Yield to twia. This is acceptance of the moment. Acceptance comes with peace of heart. In peace, existence dwells in unity. Live in the world with peace of heart. Observe with eyes that see instead of eyes blinded by perception. The body perceives separation. Twia sees oneness. Observe the world through the peace of heart that is twia. Hold to peace in all situations.
Yield to the moment. Accept it fully. Act through twia with simplicity, patience, and compassion. To yield is to see in others that there is no other. There is only oneness. To yield is to remember others as who you are, which is twia. Harmony abides in oneness.
I abide in twia, knowing all is well and good.
