The Sound of Being Present

Usually we are focused on some outward object or task or even upon our thoughts and feelings. We are rarely just present, or just aware. See if you can be aware of yourself and of some object. Allow your presence to flow. I found out some very interesting things about this simple but rare act. First of all, it is an expansive experience. I seem to fill the whole room. Second, the room brightens up. The colors are sharper. Third, there is an indescribable sound which accompanies being fully present. I describe it as the sound of awareness, the sound of silence, the sound of the universe.

The sound of presence is a very high pitch echo-like sound. It must be the sound of life itself, of aliveness. I can only compare it to the sound of stars twinkling. This sound is always playing in the background. When I allow myself to be fully present, the sound becomes foreground and I wonder why I never noticed it. This sound does not seem to come from any one source, but perhaps from the source of consciousness itself. It seems that when I flow with this sound I am at the peak of efficiency and wisdom. I have found that I can enjoy the luxury of just being present, of just being aware of being aware. This almost soundless sound always accompanies being present. Let us call it the sound of consciousness. It is the same sound I heard when I was in the Redwood Forest in California, or at a giant waterfall in North Carolina, or after a huge wave breaks on the Florida seashore. It is the sound behind and within nature. It can be experienced in any moment of spiritual awareness. It must be the sound of the presence of the Infinite Good.

What is the significance of being present and of the “sound” of this presence?
1. It testifies to a 6th sense
2. It validates our connection with the Infinite Good
3. It opens the door to Peace and Wisdom
4. It transcends the limits of time and space
5. It reminds me that I am a spiritual being in the Presence of Omnipotence
6. I can access this portal of truth any time or anywhere, even if my cell phone just died
7. I meet you there in the field beyond good and evil and we experience the miracle of oneness
8. In this place I breathe the Spirit consciously
9. In this consciousness, there is no stress, no pain, no lack, no danger, no fear, no pain, no sickness, no evil and no death
10. This recurring gift is mine to renew and enjoy, even in my car or while doing chores.
