In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.

You are the love and joy beneath the pain.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.

You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.

A great deal of what people say, think, or do is actually motivate by fear, which of course is always linked with having your focus on the future and being out of touch with the Now. As there are no problems in the Now, there is no fear either.

When you say “yes” to the “isness” of life, when you accept this moment as it is, you can feel a sense of spaciousness within you that is deeply peaceful.

Once you have had a glimpse of awareness or Presence, you know it firsthand. It is no longer just a concept in your mind.
