Title: “What is Presence?”
Description: I will discuss how reading about the “now moment”, the field and the flow in preparation for the recent golf retreat led me to be curious about the experience of Presence. I realized I had many concepts that purport to tell me what presence is. Still, the question, “What is presence?”, is not adequately answered by pointing to what it is supposed to be, imagined to be, or reportedly experienced by others. It occurs that much of the spiritual “work” that has been done has been largely conceptual. The real-time quest to discover what presence actually is, is one practice that might land one in direct experience of spiritual truth.
