From here, that looks incorrect. Ego is a 'sustained absense' - Presence is automatic, default, the 'natural state'. I am now - the present is my Presence. "Just BE-ing" - yes. It is a way for ego-momentum to die out naturally, but it has to be 'done' seriously. People play games endlessly with this - it won't work that way. There have to be sacrifices made (less doing), at least temporarily. Just 'as seen here'. peace “The essence of spiritual process is sustaining presence.”

Ego is a ’sustained absense’ – Presence is automatic, default, the ‘natural state’.

I am now – the present is my Presence.

“Just BE-ing” – yes. It is a way for ego-momentum to die out naturally, but it has to be ‘done’ seriously. People play games endlessly with this – it won’t work that way. There have to be sacrifices made (less doing), at least temporarily. Just ‘as seen here’.

That Light that every one of us reflects like a mirror; the many mirrors reflecting each other's Real Self, the inner Light, going on and on through the endless universe. One with the All, with Ground, the Source of all beings; of which the inner Light is both the message and the messenger. Let us learn to listen to it, hera it, and be transformed by it; into channels that allow its passage, becoming clear mirrors that allow it to be reflected in all we do, think, feel, speak, and are at every second in this Present moment. Thereby allowing the Light, the Infinite to be present through us, as us. We being extensions of it, its tools, its hands, the actualization of it in concrete form as right thinking, right doing, right speaking, right BE-ing(s) in the Present here and now. Being transformed, becoming ourselves, co-transformers. http://www.quakerworship.org/ Thanks very much for the essay. Sent it to several friends living the same experience. monk http;//groups.yahoo.com/group/realized monk: It is when the ego or individual self no longer stands in the way that we become channels to the Light.

This may be of interest to you but at our men's breakfast a couple of months ago, we started a series about the "false self". Love to hear what you think. http://www.provocativechurch.com/2008/02/false-self-part-i.html I appreciate your thoughts as I was doing some research on the “false self”.
