Remembering (#205)
Reflections while wandering the way of the path:
Jesus said that we will not be able to see the coming of what he called the kingdom of God. His message was that we are not going to be able to see it here or there, or anywhere outside ourselves. He wanted us to know that the kingdom is within.
This kingdom, to me, is the room within. It is the presence of twia. Jesus wanted us to know that the kingdom is now. It is here in this moment. It is present but not observed. It is not an object, event, or place to be pointed to or photographed. We sense it without observing it. We know it as an awareness of twia and the power we have in twia. It is not the me of the body; it is twia. The kingdom is in us and among us. We all are twia. It is joy in the face of anguish, love offered instead of anger, peace that comes from justice and equality, stillness that brings solace and contentment. It is as if Jesus were saying to us the kingdom is present now. It is in you.
I know the kingdom as the room within. The presence within is twia. This is how it is said, but in truth I am not within. I AM. The body is in twia and twia is in the body. There is no within in oneness because there can be nothing outside of totality. It is within that I remember, but it is not within where twia dwells for twia is nowhere, yet everywhere. Do not look here, do not look there, for twia is within and not. Why? Because there is no separation in oneness, except as illusion.
