Presence is a Mastery Tool … it’s how we exist… in present moment, in this now… we don’t allow our minds to wander off into “what if scenarios” unless we are intentionally creating an exquisite reality to arrive in another moment (vibration) as we expand into it. In present moment, we are aware of all things. We hear/see/feel the energy of all and it’s this that tells us what we need to know.

In presence, we can hear any old programmed thoughts that present. Once we hear them, we have choice in believing or dismissing them as an old illusion and maintaining love from within.

Presence allows us to see judgment and not judge it. Just this practice releases the judgment we didn’t know was there before…

Presence allows us to observe ourselves, our own feelings, our mindsets, our fixed beliefs… it allows us to feel our truth and the one our head tries to convince us of… the untruths we came here to recognize and transcend.

Presence allows us to FEEL fully, pure divine Peace, Pure Divine Love, Pure Divine Power… for in presence we bring forth our own power again.

Presence is where we CREATE… how we become CREATORS again. All else falls away and the beauty, magnificence, inspiration, desire and purposes… these all emerge from within.

Presence is where we realize all other moments no longer exist. It’s where moments collapse into one and flow is restored again.

Presence is where beauty, magnificence and MAGIC are experienced. It’s where connection with all-as-one occurs… it’s beyond anything we experienced as our unconscious self.

Presence is where realizations come forth, understandings become visible and what we forgot can be seen/felt/heard.

Presence is where we realize that everything exists. Presence is how we function. We do not leave this moment right here. We do not separate off into other places, times or things. We cut the cords of thought that kept us prisoner before. WE FREE OURSELVES by intentionally maintaining presence in all moments, in all that we experience and do.

Presence is where our Higher Self speaks and it’s our CONNECTION through presence that we can participate with EMBODIMENT.

Presence is where our consciousness is. When we separate off, when we let our mind run rampant and disconnect with it, we lose consciousness.

Presence is where the heart and mind operate as one again. This is where UNITY occurs and our experiences show us what is unified and what is not, where love exists, where it does not.

Hail winged one. Lord of Love!

We do not always welcome you into our busy lives as we should.

For you have no regard for our convenience, our rules…..

But simply see each of us as another target for Love.

Sometimes, when you come, we rejoice.

Sometimes , when you come, we weep.

Yet even when your arrows are painful and agonizing,

Even when we lie awake at night aching from the wounds you have dealt us,

We must remember that All love is truly a blessing, no matter

Where it starts or ends,

No matter whether it must live unsung and die unborn in our hearts

Or whether it can run freely hand in hand with the love of another,

Bless us with your wounds, winged one, As you have endured love,

And make mistakes, so you will

Have patience with us as we fumble our way through our maze.

Love is a river, flowing from my heart, flowing from my heart……

–From The Pagan Book of Hours

In the 1950s scientists on an island in Japan were doing a research project involving monkeys. While they were there, the scientists fed the monkeys sweet potatoes by dropping them in the sand in front of the monkeys. While the monkeys liked the sweet potatoes, they didn’t like the sand that covered them. One of the monkeys discovered that she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in water. Some of her monkey friends observed this and then adopted the same habit. Before long, more and more monkeys on the island were washing the potatoes.

At some point, all the monkeys on the island began washing them. But this was not the amazing part. Soon monkeys in other areas that had no physical contact with the monkeys on the island starting doing the same thing. It was like the knowledge was now spreading purely from mind to mind.

We often see the Hundredth Monkey Effect in our day-to-day lives. If there is a traumatic event somewhere in the world, it can affect everyone, just as this is true, acts of love and kindness can also affect all of us, no matter how small they may seem to be.

Many of us who are serious about transforming human consciousness are excited about the potential of the hundredth monkey effect.

In the base of my own consciousness I’ve discovered an element that is intrinsic to my perception of reality. In fact, I’ve learned that the core of my perception itself is actually comprised entirely of this element. This element can be viewed as a unifying force that allows me to perceive, through direct experience, how interconnected I am with everyone and everything in this world. The more I develop my perception of this force, essentially by focusing on it, the greater my understanding of its unifying nature grows.

With this greater understanding I’m able to recognize the potential outcome that is possible when enough individuals spend time focusing on this unifying force that exists within their own consciousness. The more that individuals wake up to realize this innate intelligence of their inner-self, the more they begin to experience how interconnected we all are.

When one uses this expanded awareness it becomes self-evident that hurting or mistreating another ultimately results in you hurting yourself because you are empathetically experiencing your interconnectedness with recipient of your intent. Why would you want to hurt them if you know that there is a part of them that is energetically connected to a part of you? It is an amazing feeling when you recognize that you are also the recipient of your malevolence or benevolence towards others, not just the one who you thought was on the receiving end.
