JANU: The sense of presence, our brother, is one key element in awakening. For this to occur, the subtler elements of your being are awakened to and engaged by the consciousness. The five senses no longer describe all of perception. This quality of being is being re-gained and never truly lost. That’s what awakening is: a return to awareness of the presence of the larger life, no matter the scope, the form, or the reality. Sensing the presence of any life–whether animate or not, whether incarnate or not–when embraced grows into its fullness, including your True Nature.
Your True Nature is keenly aware of your human consciousness, your incarnate existence, as a portion of itself. As you awaken to the truth of your being, part of the presence of life you are becoming aware of is who you are. Reciprocate by not closing yourself off to the presence of others, for the awakened consciousness gains intimacy in both directions, you see, with the rest of life.
Allow a sense of presence and the larger life will come alive to you with its vitality and its intimacy. This is part of loving life, our brother, and who you are. Namaste.
