Teachings (#204)
Some common themes applied from spiritual writings:
All things lie in consciousness. It is the all. There is nothing else, only the one. In consciousness all things come and go while never entering, never leaving. There is none other than consciousness which is the whole of the all. Consciousness is reality. We return to it having never left.
The mystery cannot be fathomed. It is totality understood in parts and pieces, as in the story of the blind men explaining an elephant. Each senses the part he touched and not the whole. The likeness of the elephant is lost as each man describes it differently. Like the men with the elephant, we understand consciousness in parts because the mystery of the whole cannot be fathomed. It is parts and pieces without a name. Needing a name, I call it consciousness.
Existence is our transitory world of separation. Reality is eternal consciousness. Existence is not far from reality. In truth, there is no distance. They are the same. One blends into the other as the world separates out in illusion. Reality itself does not change. Perception of thought manifests as separation in the womb of consciousness as the universe and the world we perceive. The universe is a dream abiding in the intelligence that is consciousness. This mother of all things is unknowable to us except through twia, which is neither body nor soul. Twia is discrete awareness that is consciousness expressing thought.
Access consciousness through twia in the silence. Consciousness cannot be seen or heard. Do not look for it here or there. It is emptiness that is nowhere. Twia knows the way. The way of the path transcends mind and the world. The power that is twia pervades the world and makes straight the path. To know consciousness, one must know their truth, which is twia. Twia knows consciousness. This truth sets us free of the world.
Consciousness is emptiness that is nowhere. It is limitless, unfathomable, eternal oneness that cannot be described or named. It is the whole of the all. There is no other. There is no more. There is no less. It is the all. All that is is the same as that which is. It is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. It is unity without division. It does not exist. It is reality.
The room within, which has no walls, no space, no time – no form whatsoever, is the silent emptiness that is twia. It is felt as peace of heart reaching out in love and joy. It embraces the world. From the deepest realms of being, twia rises to bring the world love and release it from fear. The way to love expands slowly like yeasty dough to give us true nourishment and new life.
What does not exist cannot be named. To name consciousness is to bring it into separation. This creates oneness. There is no oneness in reality, because there is no separation. One creates the other. Truth has no definition: no this or that, no where or when. At best we say it is intelligent and aware. When we do this, then there is love, joy, peace, and light. None of this is real. It is all the way of the world brought to us by twia. Twia knows. Twia reveals truth in ways we can see and hear. The I AM of twia is truth known without naming.
When we look, we do not see it. When we listen, we do not hear its voice. Without form to grasp we are lost in finding it. This is the way of the world. Twia is subtle. It causes all things from within. What arises is in unity and relationship though all appears separate. The world is separation. Twia is oneness. When seen through the eyes of twia, separation vanishes within and new perception creates a new world. Then our essential nature of oneness is cast upon all that appears separate. Then love replaces fear and peace prevails.
