“This presence is like a passport to greater life. It is our connection to that Greater Being to which we belong, but which is often buried beneath mundane concerns, bodily desires, emotional disturbances, and mental distractions. Through knowledge, practice, and understanding, this presence can be awakened. Eventually, we will not be without it – whether in speaking or moving, whether in thinking or feeling. Awakening this presence is the most reliable and direct means of cultivating our essential human qualities, of activating everything that we need to meet the conditions of our lives. Presence is the point of intersection between the world of the senses and the world of the Spirit. May we never cease to discover its beauty and power.” EnlightenmentIslamAwakeningSufismTreshold SocietyKabir HelminskiLiving PresenceHeartfulnessLiving Tradition Of Rumi Book:Living Presence: A Sufi Way to Mindfulness & the Essential Self Source: Living Presence: A Sufi Way to Mindfulness & the Essential Self
