Remembering (#2029)
Reflections while wandering the way of the path:
In oneness, there is no god to reach out to. Twia is an inside job. God is a construct in separation that has no reality in consciousness. There cannot be a god separate from twia when all is consciousness. To reach out is to remember twia. I AM that which I am. I am whole, complete, perfect, eternal – as is. No god required. The me of the body, who constructs gods, is fearful and does not have the vision that is twia. For eyes to see the whole of the all, turn within to the embrace that is twia. This is done in the moment. Live in the moment by holding peace of heart.
The body is a product of separation. It has no meaning and no use but to prolong the dream. You, the dreamer, choose how long you remain asleep. To remember twia is to awaken. Twia is remembered in the moment. The room within holds the eternal. Here you find your true nature. The world may be your oyster, but twia is the pearl. When the merchant found the pearl, in the parable told by Jesus, he sold everything he had to buy it. That is, when he realized his true nature, he rid himself of the past in remembering twia.
Oneness abides in separation. It is revealed in the moment. The me of the body does not know oneness. It is separation. To know oneness, walk the way of the path. Twia reveals oneness in the world. In twia you have eyes to see the union of all.
In separation, there is love and fear, giving and receiving, good and bad, etc. In other words, duality. This includes separation and oneness. These opposing pairs all exist, but they are not real. Love in separation is no more real than fear. Love in separation is illusion. One might say it is love tainted by fear. It is not pure love. Love not tainted by fear is real.
Gongs ring. Smoky incense floats about, drifting toward the rafters. Candles flicker in rows across the altar. Give thought to these things. Heart awaits. Heart is the ground of goodness in which the whole of the all is planted. Nourish it well.
Hold love in the moment. This is love without attachments. Do not give meaning where there is none. The past has evaporated except in memory. It has no meaning except what you give it. Release the past to the moment. Forego attachments for the sake of love. You are worthy of love. Do not continue to re-live what is gone. It changes nothing and gives meaning where there is none. Ancient traditions have no meaning except those you give to them in the moment. Only the moment counts. Let love abide and bring you peace.
Where is the moment while you linger in the past? Awaiting your return. This is the way of the path. To remember twia brings you back to the moment and to love untainted by fear.
Do not live with the past and its illusion of love. Hold to the moment and love’s reality. You are deserving of love’s full embrace. Feel the embrace of peace within that holds you tight.
There is no giving, no receiving, only the oneness that is the moment.
You matter. Take charge of your life. Live it from your view, not from that of others.
Twia is awareness. This is consciousness-expressing. The dreamer is discrete awareness dreaming of the me of the body as manifestation of separation. This expressing is twia manifesting the thought of separation that arises in consciousness.
To know twia in others is to touch reality. Twia is real. To forgive is to forget the past and remember twia. Reality lies on the other side of forgiveness. The past stands between you and reality. Only separation can create a past by breaking up oneness. Without the past, there is no future, only the moment. In the moment lies reality.
Reality has no past, present, or future. The past and the future are dualities of separation. The eternal has no past or future, nor a present. It simply IS. The moment is the key to reality. It is held by twia. Twia opens the door to the room within when the past is laid at its threshold by forgiveness. Do nothing to forgive. Twia knows the way as you enter the room within.
The me of the body does not know pure love. It only knows fear and the opposite of fear which is love tainted by fear. I suppose one could say that fear is tainted by love, as well. One might risk their life to save a drowning person out of fear and compassion. Fear tainted by love leaves room for compassion. Fear without love is evilness. Like giving and receiving cannot fully be separated, neither can fear and love. Left to itself, the me of the body would be evil in what would be complete separation without love to taint its fear. The dreamer knows twia, and twia knows pure love. This holds the world together in some semblance of compassion.
Until we see the illusion of separation through the vision that is twia, we are caught in the illusion even upon death of the body. The me of the body continues as the soul to return in form later. This goes on until the dreamer awakens. This seems to be the story of reincarnation.
To be in the room within is to not share in the suffering of the world. The room within is your true nature. Your true nature is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. It does not know suffering. Suffering is a product of separation and its fears. To ease suffering in the world, hold peace of heart. When you are actively helping to alleviate suffering, hold peace of heart. To join in the illusion by taking on suffering only adds to the illusion and its misery. Let twia guide you in your work. Remember to be at peace in all situations.
