Whenever you interact with people,don't be there primarily as a function or a role,But as a Field of conscious Presence

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.

If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.

The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.
