When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

Presence is needed to become aware of the Beauty, the Majesty, the Sacredness of Nature

So it is essential to bring more consciousness into your life in ordinary situations when everything is going relatively smoothly. In this way, you grow in presence power. It generates an energy field in you and around you of a high vibrational frequency. No unconsciousness , no negativity, no discord or violence can enter that field and survive, just as darkness cannot survive in the presence of light.

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?

Attention is the vital thing and there is no tension in attention. It just happens to be a similar word. It's not concentration or straining. Attention has the openness of a young child not yet dominated by the conceptual mind.

When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.

The secret of awakening is to unconditionally accept this moment as it is.
