Discovering Presence

At what time in your life did you realize that you existed? Perhaps it was a moment in time that you felt transported to a different plane of reality, something jolted your senses, or caused you a deep sense of reverence or awe. Who is this person who experiences these things? Might this be the source of awareness, your inner person, your deepest self? Are we our personalities. do our emotions or anxieties define us?
Could it be that our most "Authentic" parts are found within the aesthetic experience of being? At every moment, beyond every thought or feeling, this sense of pure and simple being is the foundation of life, and the foundation of ones deepest source of truth. It is the seat of the consciousness where we exist as is. This is a liberating reality. If we learn to identify with this space, which some think of as sacred nature, or as God, The Infinite, The Holy Spirit, Christ, The Light Within, we can recognize source of Life.. Being is a PRACTICE- It is a committed PROCESS rooted in tuning our inner selves to listen, to prayer, meditation, looking within, and reflecting. When we enter this awareness of being, we see ourselves and others in fresh light, as creations with purpose and possibility, opened and trusting to the lessons life brings. Today as you walk outside your home into your day, think about your breath, become aware of the Life Forces that energize your body, enjoy the warm sunlight upon your face, recognize you are a small, albeit important part of Divine creation. Allow this to return yourself to your inmost place of Love, gratitude, forgiveness. Return to Being, your Source of Truth.
