The experience of the present moment is an experience of Presence. It is called Presence simply because it?s what we experience when we are fully present. Although Presence is too mysterious, rich, and profound to be captured by words, we have many words for it, including Stillness, Silence, Ultimate Reality, the Now, Essence, the Sacred, Wholeness, the Mystery, the Divine, ?the peace that passeth all understanding,? Unity, Oneness, Love, Truth, and Awareness. These are all attempts to describe the ineffable experience of being in touch with who we really are.
We use words such as stillness, silence, peace, and love to describe Presence not only because we become still, silent, peaceful, and loving when we?re in Presence, but also because when we become still, silent, peaceful, or loving, we drop into Presence. Thus, many of the words that describe Presence are both a description and a prescription for experiencing it.
