Teachings (#212)
Some common themes applied from spiritual writings:
To be wise is to touch the eternal. Then you know reality. Your wisdom is in twia. Twia knows. To touch the eternal, enter the room within. Here you will know the impossible. Do not deny the world the impossible. You are the way. Out of darkness comes light. In light there is darkness. This is the harmony of yin and yang. To find your way forward look behind. Do not rush ahead. Return to your true nature before you were born. What lies ahead is ignorance. What lies behind is wisdom.
To know is not to seek. You cannot find what you look for. You are lit from within. Do not hold your lamp skyward. To look up and out is to miss the mark.
Do not let these words lead you astray. Read with your heart, not your mind. Your mind cannot comprehend what the heart knows. The room within is dark. It needs no light. Ignorance does not abide here. Keep what you know to yourself. Tell no one.
Sophia called to me in the night. I went to her. She whispered in my ear. I heard. She gazed into my eyes. I saw. She clutched me to her breast. I drank knowingly. She lured me into the darkness that I might know the light.
Above all, hold peace of heart. The rest is just words. Do not exert yourself. Do nothing. That is hard enough. Start your journey by holding peace and you will not have far to travel. Do not let the journey disturb your peace. If so, you will lose your way.
Before I was born, I saw the way with eyes that see. Now I am blind. I do not know the way. I am lost to it. In this I am found. I follow the light that leads. I am on the way of the path to before I was born.
Twia knows. To know is to remember twia. The me of the body knows fear. Twia knows that you are the I AM. To recognize twia in you is to touch the eternal. Escape fear. Touch the eternal. Know and be free.
Say nothing. Do nothing. Unless you hear with ears that hear you will never know. Do not be fooled by the noise of the world. Do not say what you cannot speak. Those who hear will listen. Those who do not will pass by. Let the blind be on their way. Do not chase after the deaf.
What you value is the path you walk. You will not get far. One path is a dead end. The other has no future. The way of the world is false. It brings you death. The way of the path is freedom. It has no future to weigh you down with hope and desire. In freedom you find the eternal. It lies within. To value your true nature is to dwell in the room within.
That which I am is in you. You are my teacher. In you I find the way. There is no other. The one is twia. The light is the same in all. Know this. Be in right mind always. It is revealed in all whom you meet along the way of the path. To know these things is to hold peace of heart. In peace of heart lies the eternal. Understand this and you will find freedom without death.
You are fulfilled in knowing the last shall be first. Walk this path in all things. Then the ways of the world cannot move you. What is of the world has no meaning. The room within is your rock. Build on it.
Empty your heart of desire. Hold peace. Be in harmony with all. Peace in all situations sustains you. Consider these things over fear. Fear does not sustain you. It saps you of strength. It rots you from the inside out. Do not desire what you fear, or death will overcome you. Live in peace of heart, without desire, that you may know life eternal.
When you know these things, stop. Rest in the moment. Do nothing. Watch that you do not lose the way. Take refuge in the room within. Twia will serve you in all ways. Twia knows. To know is to know twia in the silence. Do not speak of these things. Walk in the world as twia. Keep to yourself. Watch. Be aware. Follow the path of the dove.
Love is low-hanging fruit. Pick it readily. It grows abundantly within you. Nurture it. Plant your tree in the world for all to see. They who come will enjoy the sweet reward. Bear the fruit in others as well as yourself. It grows but from a single tree of life. Feed life to all who come to eat. Do so with loving-kindness. Those who give abundantly receive the same.
You are fulfilled in twia. Care for all as twia cares for you. Be fulfilling to those who come knocking, friend and foe alike. Be generous. You are the one in need.
To love yourself is to know love in all. Care for yourself wisely. Your wisdom is a gift to the world. Offer yourself freely that others may find their way. What you do for others you do to yourself. Treat yourself with loving-kindness and all will receive compassion.
Compassion is your strength. Be strong. Violence is weakness from fear. Compassion looks past fear to twia. I find strength in you. My compassion is your voice. You speak of hurt and pain. It brushes past me to the I AM. Together we nurture compassion without fear.
Evil is fear untainted by love. Do not deny the existence of evil. It comes with your false perceptions of separation. It is worthy of love. You cannot be free in an evil world without compassion. What do you benefit by fearing evil? It is easy to love your own. It benefits all to love those you hate. Hate is put aside by love, while evil begets evil.
Stop tormenting others with your anger. It poisons the well from which all must drink. Draw from the well of loving-kindness. Drench the ground of goodness in which we all are planted. The rain that falls to fill the well falls on all. It does not know good or bad. There is only oneness.
Hate does not cast out evil. It feeds its fear. The strength of compassion overcomes the weakness of fear and evilness. Twia does not know fear. I AM the oneness of the all. To know twia is to bring love without fear into the world. To know twia is to see the I AM in all. Twia gives you eyes to see that there is no other. There is only the I AM.
You will wither and die on the vine without water from the deep well of compassion. To fill the well, haul water for your neighbor’s harvest. Your neighbor’s harvest will be your own.
Smile in the face of ill-will. Do not accept the poison when ask to drink. If someone offers you a burning coal, do not put out your hand. Life is hard enough without burning in the flames of hatred.
Be limitless in your compassion. Turn your back on no one. Love unceasingly. The way of the path is paved with stones of kindness.
