Remembering (#212)
Reflections while wandering the way of the path: There are no limits to twia. Limits are a perception of the me of the body. Separation requires limits to define its edges. Dancing manifests the dance, which is a thought, an idea, that without expressing remains unfulfilled. There is no dance without expressing. There is no existence without twia. Twia is consciousness expressing its thought of separation. I AM consciousness-expressing. I AM the movement that displays existence, much like the movement that is dancing displays the dance, which is an idea in the mind of the dancer finding fulfillment. Am I a body alone in a sea of bodies? Each but a bundle of subatomic particles obeying the laws that govern them. Where is the purpose? Where is the meaning? If there is neither purpose nor meaning, why am I here? Why would I have the capacity to ask such existential questions if they did not have answers? I do not lead a life separate from that which I am. There is no separation, only oneness. Maybe this body is an aspect of twia for the purpose of sensing separation with its limits and mortality. Whatever, separation is a hard row to hoe. Maybe somewhere in the scheme of things that is the point. I do not know. But I do know that love loosens the soil. Once tilled, we are planted firmly in the ground of goodness to grow toward the light. The glory that I am grows abundantly in its shining love. I AM that which I am: whole, complete, perfect, eternal. I am no more. I am no less. I am the whole of the all. I am fulfilled in twia. In you I am. I know twia in you as the I AM. Relationships reveal the I AM in all. There is no separation in the truth of the I AM. Separation is an illusion. Love shared in the illusion is tainted by the fear that comes with thoughts of separation. Love that embraces all in the moment touches on the eternal. The dreamer is discrete awareness. The me of the body is the dream, a thought of separation in consciousness, powered in its existence by fear driven by desire for the love it has forgotten, which is twia. The way of the path is its road to remembering. This is to remember twia and awaken to its true nature. There is nothing around me that has innate meaning. I put it there and gave it any meaning it has to me. Because I put it there, I can change it. The thoughts I have about my world can be altered. When I change my thoughts, when I choose to believe new ideas about myself, then the world changes. In this world of separation, I am what I believe I am, and the world is the meaning I give to it. The more I realize it is a dream, the closer I am to awakening. Forgiveness cleanses mind of illusion. The idea that something happened in the past that affects me now can be let go when I allow twia to prevail in the moment. There is no cause to fear the past. Pure love lies in the reality of the moment where it cannot be tainted by fear. Consciousness holds the thought of separation. The idea that there could be separation is held in the emptiness that is nowhere as a possibility that cannot become real. It generates thoughts of this and that. These can only be illusions in consciousness. They cannot become reality, but they can be manifested in a dream, much like unicorns cannot be real but can be manifested in fantasy. The world of unicorns exists in form, structure, and spacetime in the dream, even though that world is not real. Like unicorns we exist in consciousness without being real. The dreamer is twia. Twia is awareness in consciousness. Twia is the movement of the idea into existence. Twia is consciousness-expressing. That part of awareness that is the dreamer of the me of the body that is Darrell is discrete, like the discreteness of molecules in a body of water. There is oneness in the pool, though discrete particles comprise its existence. Discrete awareness comprises the existence of the illusion of separation. To forgive is to release the past. Do not dwell on memories, feelings, and emotions. Observe and release. To release is to cleanse the room within of false beliefs. Look upon others not as the past says of them, but as twia knows of their truth in the moment. The truth is oneness. Twia is the same in all. To walk the way of the path is to remember the love that is twia instead of the fear that is the past. Enter the moment with twia. This is your haven from the past. Evil is extreme fear absent of compassion. Even tainted love does not reside in evil. The past is a bowl of perceptions that we gobble like a sugary breakfast cereal. It might be attractive and taste good while eating it, but it holds little nutrition. Later we want more, hoping for something different than we had earlier. It will not get better until we change perceptions. The bowl needs to be filled with the moment so we can eat of the more nutritional substance of the eternal. Stop gobbling up the past with its false perceptions. Look at the world with the vision of twia. Your meal will be more nourishing.
The world can churn and roil
While in the room within
Peace prevails
If all is one, there cannot be a god separate from that which I am, and that which I am cannot be separate from totality. There can be no separation if all is one. There only can be that which I AM. This I call consciousness, the emptiness that is nowhere, the eternal field of infinite possibility. It is the whole of the all. It is intelligent and aware. One could call it God, but why use such a loaded word? In truth it cannot be named or described. It has no comparison. Love is tainted by fear when we think it will break our heart. A broken heart is not love. It is fear of loss. We fear the separation we have accepted as real. Separation is illusion. It is not real. There are no broken hearts in oneness. Love is eternal. It has no past. It rests in the moment. To see the moment without the past is to love without fear. This is pure love, untainted. Twia knows. It has vision that looks beyond illusions. Twia has eyes that see reality. To know is to be awake. The room within touches reality with knowledge. You are not blind. Your earthly eyes are closed to reality. Open them and see. The vision that is twia sets you free. Consciousness cannot be described. There is no comparison. It is whole – complete and perfect. Beyond comprehension. Beyond the edges of imagination. Beyond the light that fills the void in the emptiness that is nowhere. This is consumed by consciousness. Do not think that it can be known. It is the totality of all. It is the I AM – intelligent and aware. It is consciousness. Each and every day, all that I am is contained in the moment. There are no endings or beginnings. The moment is eternal. It contains the whole of the all. Hold to the moment without desire. It is its own fulfillment. The room within holds the moment. Look out upon the world with eyes that see. Then you will know peace. The vision that is twia sees oneness and not separation. Leave separation to the me of the body. Together they will wither and die. Hold fast to twia that you may fulfill what is rightly yours. Your union with neighbor and enemy alike is seen in twia. Fear and the past are not the way. The way of the path reveals love in the moment. You are this love, the whole of the all revealed. Do not shy from your truth. Bring it to the world so that all may see in twia. This is the vision of oneness. Look upon all with eyes that see. To walk the way of the path is to not walk alone. All who follow the way walk together. It is unity. The eternal is blue in color, or so I would like to think. It helps that I can visualize its presence. Blue because once there was a dot of blue, small like it had been cut from the sky by a paper punch. The sky blue dot hung in space a breath from my belly when I sat in silence. It was warm, comforting, and almost not there. Yet it was. One day, as I entered the silence, the dot disappeared into this body that I am not. I have not seen it since. But it is there. It is the light eternal, held in the moment, cast in blue. From the blue eternal I am born again and awaken to that which I am. There is nothing separate to watch over me. No comforting source of protection. There is twia. Do not look away from twia for gods or guardians. There is no power outside twia because all is one. If indeed all is one, then there is but one power. It is twia. This is the power of consciousness-expressing. Twia is not a place or a thing. It is the energy that is reality-manifesting. This is consciousness-expressing.
