false 61315 1 The Presence Process is not about changing who or what we are. This is impossible. Instead, it is about releasing our attachment to our manufactured identity so that we may gently return to an awareness of our authentic Presence. It is about moving from pretence to Presence. It is about consciously connecting with that aspect of our Being that always remains constant. It is about honoring that aspect of our Being that is always present. It is not about becoming something or somebody else. It is about remembering and experiencing who and what we really are and have always been. <P>The Presence Process is not about changing the nature of what the stars have marked on our forehead, hands, and feet. It is about waking into the fullest potential of each moment that is already destined. It is about responding to our life as it is unfolding right now and not reacting to it as if something else was supposed to be happening. The Presence Process intends to reveal to us that our mistaken desire to change what is happening to us in any given moment is usually born out of an inability to show up and fully enjoy the wonder of our life experience as it is right now. <P>The Presence Process awakens within us the awareness that it is in the nature of our interaction with what is happening to us right now that we sow the seeds for what is to come beyond the borders of this life experience. It assists us to see that the quality of the seeds that we sow in any given moment is very different depending on whether we choose to react or to respond to our experiences. Reacting to our experience means that we are making our decisions based on what we think happened to us yesterday and what we think may happen to us tomorrow. We are only responding to our experience when we make choices based on what is happening to us right here, right now. It is only possible to respond to our experiences when we unlearn the behaviors and belief systems that lead us into reaction. This "unlearning" is what The Presence Process assists us to accomplish. <P>There are no failures in The Presence Process, as it is an individual journey driven by commitment, curiosity, and intention. It cannot be experienced for someone else or because of someone else. Activating present moment awareness is an individual responsibility. It is therefore an experience that is by nature immune to comparison or judgment. <P>The Presence Process is not an end to anything; it is the continuation of a lifelong journey that we have already been making into the heart of our own present moment awareness. 59636 1 10 2005 The Presence Process: A Healing Journey into Present Moment Awareness total:32|5:22|4:8|3:2|2:0|1:0| 32 148 68 12 4 0 false false Mon Feb 09 22:04:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 22:04:24 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 24 10:32:35 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 10:33:27 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 28 10:36:17 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 10:37:07 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Feb 07 14:02:45 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 14:32:20 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Nov 11 14:25:49 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 14:27:17 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Jul 01 13:13:06 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 13:17:48 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat May 31 05:52:51 -0700 2008 Sat May 31 05:53:41 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Dec 18 12:14:39 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 20 10:55:57 -0700 2009 5 1 false false Sat Jul 12 00:08:32 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 00:11:51 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 21:58:58 -0800 2008 Tue Apr 28 08:20:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 10 16:36:39 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 16:39:21 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 10:33:31 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 10:34:45 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 08:36:20 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 08:36:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 19:40:48 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 19:40:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 08:12:11 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 08:12:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 18:14:48 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 18:14:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 22:52:20 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 22:52:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 09:49:19 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 09:49:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 12 23:28:04 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 23:28:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 21:48:38 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 21:48:38 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=61315
