Christ descended into Jesus.

Your suffering is intense and a new birth is at hand;

be happy, be grateful.

Don’t be afraid of death,

be thankful.

It is the tidings of a new birth.

And the old must die to give birth to the new;

the seed must break to blossom into the flower.

What is suppressed becomes attractive,

under the hole was written in large letters:

Peeping strictly forbidden.

Naturally, it brought the traffic to a standstill!

Crowds gathered around the shop

jostling one another for a peep through the curtain.

There they saw nothing but a few towels –

it was just a small towel shop

and the shopkeeper had devised this sure-fire method

of increasing his sales.

It worked like magic.

and he becomes trapped by it.

Therefore – always be wary of negation,

opposition, suppression.

for there is no other way to find it.

Become the truth,

for there is no other way to know it.

You cannot know truth through words,

not through the scriptures,

nor through learning, study, contemplation.

Truth is within, in the emptiness within.

In the state of no-mind,

in the mind free of desires where only awareness is,

there truth manifests itself.

Truth simply is;

it has not to be found,

simply uncovered.

The lid of gold covering it is the ego.

Ego is darkness;
