The soul is restored through union with God.

Listening to God - which is a key part of practicing His presence - is not a method, but a walk with a person.

The soul is restored through union with God.

The acknowledgment that God is always with us - even when we are least aware of it in our sensory being - requires discipline. To acknowledge the Unseen Real requires a concerted effort of our will at first. This is why the term practicing the presence is so useful.

True listening is obedient listening. To listen to God is to obey Him.

Those with a low view of the Bible should not attempt listening prayer, for it can lead into dangerous gnostic listening.

It is only by remembering that 'Another lives in me' that we can die daily to that old, false, usurping self, and that we can continue to be drawn further in and higher up into the life of God. To 'practice the presence' is to continually call to mind this great reality.
