SNM QUOTE--Sense Of Presence

[Guest guest]

From Consciousness and the Absolute,

June 14, 1981.

 

 

 

 

The sense of presence does not need

any activity of the mind,

to know that you are present.

 

You do not have to ask yourself,

" Am I present, am I conscious? "

 

There is that intuitive sense of presence,

you know you are present.

 

 

 

 

This sense of presence is not,

the sense that I am present,

you are present,

or any individual is present.

 

The sense of presence,

is the sense of presence,

as such.

 

 

 

 

Because one identifies oneself

with his body,

he thinks he is born

and is going to die.

 

What is born,

is the general sense of presence,

as such.

 

The sense of presence

which has come spontaneously,

will leave spontaneously.
