Being Here Now, for REAL!
We have been exploring the question of presence; that is, what does it mean to be fully present for this life? Not presence as a fragmented or limited experience, but presence as a whole being (and whole life) experience. Being here now, for all of it! Being here now, for reals. In the next weeks, we will focus more on the ways that the spiritual world (“the new cage movement” and “patriarchal spirituality”) have replaced a more inclusive notion of presence with something akin to self-avoidance masquerading as enlightenment. That is, how have we been led to confuse a spiritual bypassing consciousness with human wholeness? This week we will spend more time exploring what elements and aspects of a present-centered consciousness might be missing from your life. And we will focus our attention on forging a path for their possible re-emergence and re-integration.
