Hm hmm.

Good morning.

God morning to you.

I was thumbing through Aldous Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy this morning and came

across a gorgeous quote.

It says, sweet is the memory of Jesus giving true joys to the heart, but sweeter beyond

honey and all else is his presence.

And then he goes on to talk about the importance of practice, right?

Not just thinking about God, reading about God, but feeling, experiencing God, and then

immediately after that he goes on to talk about the importance of repeating the name.

And he says, whether it's Jesus, like it was in this quote, or Krishna, or Buddha, repeating

the name is very powerful practice across all religions, across all philosophies.

Take the name.

But I'm not going to talk to you about taking the name today.

It's not Sunday.

It's a come a thing.

I will, however, invite you to invite the presence and to your experience right now to invite

your awareness of the presence because the presence has been here this whole time.

I've been talking this whole time.

You've been listening this whole time.

You've been simultaneously thinking about something else.

The presence is like Robert Adams said, you don't have to try to make the mind silent
