Awakening to the Present Moment
Imagine living in a city shrouded in perpetual darkness, moving like a shadow among others, disconnected and afraid. This is our ordinary state of consciousness - separated from our deeper selves and the sacred dimension of life. Yet beyond this metaphorical city lies another possibility: a state of presence where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. This is the revolutionary proposition at the heart of "Living Presence" - that through conscious, moment-to-moment awareness, we can awaken to the divine reality constantly surrounding us that we've forgotten how to perceive. Presence shapes everything: how we occupy space, our self-image, emotional tone, and whether we scatter or direct our energy. Unlike conventional education that merely transfers information, spiritual education awakens the soul through practices that have existed throughout history. This "Great Work" activates our latent human faculties, many of which have atrophied in our technological culture where means have dangerously outstripped understanding of purpose. What makes us truly human isn't guaranteed by our species but exists as potential - we must work to become fully human. Like a finely tuned instrument, our consciousness can produce either harmony or discord depending on its refinement and alignment with higher principles. Beyond our familiar faculties lie subtle capacities: volitional (deep intentionality), psychic (sensitivity to subtle energies), intuitive (direct knowing), magnetic (personal presence), and ecological (connection with all life). With these functioning harmoniously, we would experience intimate relationship with the Source of Life, much as a clear mirror perfectly reflects light.
