Like all symbols, they can have multiple meanings. For our purposes now, it is helpful to see life-awareness as Father and presence as Son.<\/p>\n<p>Some people make the mistake of seeing the personality-mind as Son. The personality-mind is a temporary effect in presence, but it is not what you are. When one sees the personality-mind as Son, one remains stuck with the misperception that s\/he is the personality-mind. In addition, the personality-mind isn\u2019t \u201cwholly beneficent.\u201d When people feel that it should be, it can lead to additional guilt and unworthiness.<\/p>\n<p>Focus your attention on presence (present awareness) now. Notice presence is simply aware without any involvement in the world or in thoughts. Presence is \u201cwholly beneficent and free from guilt.\u201d Presence is the awareness that lights up everything perceived and experienced. Without the awareness of presence, there would not be perception or experience. Said another way, nothing could exist without presence.<\/p>\n<p>Presence is what you are. Presence is the Son of life-awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Now focus your intuitive attention on life-awareness (activating cause), which is the foundation and essence of presence. Notice how life-awareness and presence are one. Life-awareness is the light of presence in the same way that presence is the light of the world. Just as nothing manifest could exist without presence, presence exists because of the loving and ongoing gift of life-awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s lesson says, \u201cI am weary of the world I see.\u201d Does this thought come from presence? Or is presence the silent witness of this thought? Who (or what) are you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please take time this morning to read, \u201cWhat is Forgiveness,\u201d to contemplate Lesson 224, and to spend time in meditation.
