Finding true presence
You can't aim for presence - or even complete inner peace - and truly get there. For true presence is beyond any kind of identity or intention - including trying to get there. Immediately you try to do so, you establish separation from it within - you are that which is trying to get to presence. You could access a kind of quasi presence, which kind of feels like it, but usually this is based on denial - simply blocking out certain experiences. The best way to presence, for me, is to align with the soul - the sense of rightness in the moment, whatever that is.
