Presence is a state of inner spaciousness

When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.

Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?

If your mind is still... You can sense the peace that emanates from the earth.

The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.

The peace that comes with surrendered action turns to a sense of aliveness when you actually enjoy what you are doing.

Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.
