The Power Of Presence

Wherever you go, whatever you do, whoever you encounter, your presence has power. Your very presence changes the energy in any area you inhabit.

If you have ever experienced coming into a room immediately following a heated argument, even though you were not there during it, you could feel the tension in the air. We give off energy frequencies every moment of every day. I could discuss with you subtle interactions you have with the natural world, but for now I’d like to focus on the power you possess over the human condition.

An energy exchange takes place anytime you occupy space with another human soul. You influence the people around you by example, however it’s more than example its the very energy you emit. For instance, have you ever noticed that when you are around negative aggressive people, if your energy remains calm, nonjudgmental and positive, at some point their energy is diffused. An observant, nonjudgmental, loving state of calm is a VERY POWERFUL thing. When you meet a person, soul to soul, aware of the truth of who they REALLY are, the ego slips away revealing the divine spirit within. Anytime you react to someone’s hostility, you feed it. You allow your false self (the ego) to gain control. Only egos engage in conflict.

The true self, the spirit or soul, is unaffected by circumstances, has no opinions, and makes no judgments. Situations come and go like clouds, yet the soul remains unchanged; it is always perfect, whole and complete. You are responsible, as an awakened aware presence, to vigilantly watch for the interference of the ego.

Ask, “Why am I engaging in this conflict?"

Usually it is the ego’s need to be right, to be acknowledged, to be validated. People are asleep. They don’t understand that they are divine spirit. You do.

Be the unbiased observer. Be love. Be calm and steadfast in the knowledge that everything and everyone is God. God is all there is. God is constantly expressing and experiencing through everything and everyone. The creative force, ever expanding, energy in eternal motion. Be present.

There is no right or wrong, evil or good, only consequences. You are the creator of all your experiences. Your calm and loving presence has a profound effect on the people around you. Aggression begets aggression, love begets love. Everything you give your thoughts and energy to always creates more of the same.

You can not create abundance out of worry and fear of financial defeat. Be grateful for all that you have now, gratitude is the most powerful catalyst for abundance. Love what you have, give thanks and the universe will respond. It has to; it is the law.

Your thoughts are things, and if you are grateful for all the blessings in your life, the universe will bless you again and again.

Amen
