Remembering (#211)
Reflections while wandering the way of the path:
It is not me, but twia doing the work. I do nothing. Do not deny the power that is twia.
The light of a flickering candle in darkness draws solitude into the open. Here we can see ourselves for who we are. The flicker upon shadows reveals the yin and yang of our true nature. Between the shadows of fear and the glow of love lies twia. Follow twia in the darkness and your light will glorify the world.
Discernment helps us to understand and accept life. The discerning mind sees the shapes of gray when black or white is not the answer. We never know the entirety of situations and so should not judge harshly their outcomes. The Dalai Lama speaks often of kindness and says the discernment that is coupled with compassion offers spirituality well-being in a secular world. Peace of heart in all situations is the passion of unity in the world. Bring this passion to all your relationships and you will live in love and not in fear.
Hold sway in the moment and extend its peace to all. You cannot hold peace of heart and not include all. To do less is not peace of heart. Peace of heart is oneness. Twia is the same in all. There is no other. Fear fragments. Love unifies.
You are the energy of life. You manifest existence. You are the expressing that is separation. You are the dreamer. There is no other than you. You are the I AM. Your world is your creation. You are a lucid dreamer. Gain control. Choose the way of the path. Allow twia to guide you in a new world.
The me of the body is limited by fear. Release yourself from its confines and realize the power that is twia. This is the oneness of reality that you cannot escape. The dream will end. You will awaken. This is not a matter of time. It is eternal reality.
What is real cannot be created. It cannot be destroyed. Twia is real. This is your true nature. There is no god that created you. There is no god to care for you. Twia is your guide. You are the power that always has been. You are the energy of manifestation. Turn within for care and comfort. Let oneness embrace you.
The body is a collection of subatomic particles gathered in space under the laws of physics over time. It has no meaning. The me that experiences the body gives it meaning, but it is weak, insecure, and vulnerable to its own fears. We suffer when we cast our identity with the body. Instead, cast your identity with twia, which is your true nature.
The body is an object of illusion. It is not real. Stop identifying with it. You are beyond its form. Use its form for love, not fear. Twia is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. You have no limits in reality. Twia is the whole of the all, without beginning or end. Twia holds the body in imagination and can use it to perfection. Let go of your identity as a body and allow your true nature to be realized and relevant in the world.
The body is an object of separation. It exists in time with a past, present, and future. Its past is birth. Its future is death. The present is lived in fear of both. The body is fruitless and meaningless in reality.
The moment holds no past or future. Do not carry the future into the moment with expectations. Do not drag the past into the room within. It does not fit. Leave the chains you forged outside. All that is required is that you be aware in the moment. Then the room within is revealed. Twia awaits. You are there to welcome yourself home. To greet yourself, do nothing. Let go of all but the moment. In the moment lasts your lifetime, which is eternal.
The me that I am not gives meaning to the body in separation. Without me, the body has no meaning. It is but an object suspended in spacetime if it exists at all. Can the body exist without me? Can it exist without meaning? The room within has no need for the body. Herein lies the eternal.
To do nothing is to rest in the room within without fear or desire. Twia knows the way. Once the door to the room within is opened, it will never close. Twia enters the world through the open door. For now, do nothing. Return home to the room within as often as always and forever. The world within holds power over the world without. In one you do nothing. In the other you struggle to hold on to a body that has no meaning.
Stop. Do nothing. The world may be your oyster but seek the pearl within. The pearl is eternal. The oyster soon goes bad. The fleeting value of the oyster seems filling at the time, but soon you hunger for more. The pearl casts its beauty forever. The room within holds the pearl. This is twia, your true nature. The pearl grows in beauty from all the irritations of the world. It waits to be discovered. It has no time. It holds the space for your awareness when you are ready. You are the prodigal son who leaves home, walks the way of the world, awakens to the way of the path, and returns to the room within where twia awaits.
