Presence is a state of inner spaciousness
Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.
Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry
If you are trying to get from here to there, and you already are late, you know that you are late, and yet you are aligned with the present moment while you are stuck in a traffic jam. You are totally accepting of the moment.
Being must be felt. It can't be thought.
Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence.
