What is Presence? Presence is the felt sense of being alive, of existing, here and now. The living field of I Am that has never come or gone, of which even I Am is already a translation by mind.
Thoughts, sensations, feelings, sounds, smells, all kinds of states and experiences both mundane and profound, have all come and gone in your life, but your Presence has never come or gone, appeared or disappeared. The silent unchanging backdrop to all experience, the vast ocean of You, constant and steady amidst all the arising and dissolving of the waves of the manifest world.
You, in the most intimate sense of the word. You, as you have always known yourself, closer than breathing. The You that was present when you took your first breath, that will be present when you take your last breath, that is present on every in-breath and every out-breath.
Present as you took your first steps, present as you take your last. Present on your first day of school, your wedding day, and as you held your grandfather’s hand for the last time. You, prior to even the word “you.” Unknowable by thought, unable to be conceptualized, and yet the one thing you’ve always known more deeply that you’ve known anything. The one undoubtable thing; the one thing you’ve never been able to put into words; the one thing that’s always been on the tip of your tongue; the one thing that’s not a “thing” at all.
The You that you recognize in everyone you meet. The condition by which you’ve known anything at all. Undoubtable, since even doubt is allowed to come and go.
That which you have always sought, that which has been present throughout all your seeking and suffering and longing for union.
Your true Home, your most profound sense of rest, your beloved; it was always You.
