That Which I AM, A statement of belief
Part 8, Remembering twia
THE WAY OF THE PATH
Twia is the expressing of thought as manifestation. Thought appears in consciousness without effort. Consciousness does nothing to produce thought. It is thought. Water does nothing to produce wetness. It is wetness. Wetness is the nature of water. Thought is the nature of consciousness. Wetness emerges as water. Thought emerges as consciousness. The force behind emergence in consciousness is twia. Twia is the dancing that is the dance. This is Shiva dancing the universe into existence. Shiva is the force, or the energy of movement, behind the appearance of the universe. Shiva as Lord of the Dance does nothing to produce dance, any more than water acts to produce wetness. The Lord of the Dance cannot be not-dancing any more than water can be not-wetness, nor consciousness be not-thought. Consciousness is thought expressing as existence. Twia is that expressing. Twia emanates reality and the illusions that come with it, like a worldly child dreaming of unicorns.
Twia is your true nature. The way of the path is to remember twia. This is to know your true nature. That true nature is consciousness-expressing, or I AM. You are consciousness expressing thought. Consciousness expressing the thought of separation manifests as existence. Existence as you know it is the universe. You are consciousness expressing the universe. This is Shiva dancing the universe into existence. You are the dancing that is the dance. You bring about the world as you know it.
You are I AM. You are consciousness expressing thought. You are the force that is the manifestation of existence. You are the movement that expresses the world as you know it. You are Shiva dancing the dance. You are consciousness-expressing. Your movement and existence are the same, just as dancing and dance are oneness. You are that which I AM. Twia manifests the thought of separation as your bodily existence. You experience a world of separation that is transitory. It begins, ends, and is forever changing. This is existence as you know it. You know it through the me of the body. The me of the body is limited in spacetime by form. Twia is unlimited. Twia has no form. Twia is energy. Twia is the energy of existence in all its states. It is the force of expressing that Shiva represents as creating, maintaining, and destroying simultaneously.
Within your world, twia is veiled by the me of the body and its limits. Lifting that veil requires turning toward the room within to remember twia. The room within is the dark, empty silence of consciousness. To enter this stillness is to touch the eternal. To touch the eternal is to remember twia. Remembering reveals your true nature. Remembering releases awareness into the illusion. To be aware is to witness the world as the whole of the all, not as the false sense of separation perceived by the me of the body.
Do not cleave to the body and its personality. These are not you. You are twia. Twia lies in the silence. It has no home. It is all at once everywhere. This is the nature of the whole of the all. It has no words. It does nothing. There is no adding to twia, no taking away. Its nature is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. Listen to twia. What you hear is your own voice. Twia is your true nature. Twia knows the way. To listen is to do nothing. Live simply. Live without desire and expectation. Act from joy. Hold peace of heart always. This is the way of the path. The way of the path is remembering twia.
To remember twia is to bring joy to pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. Joy is your true nature. Happiness and suffering are the ways of the me of the body. Do not be rigid in your manner. Soften to accept the whole of the all. Do not block your natural flow. You are the way. You are the joy of the world.
