A Closing Call to Presence: The world is not the illusion. Your distance from this moment is the illusion of separation keeping you away from presence. You do not need to fix anything. You do not need to understand everything. You only need to stop leaving yourself as the presence you innately are.

Is the world an illusion?

Or are your thoughts an illusion?

A Calling to Presence The world is not an illusion.

Your distance from this moment is the separation of illusion.

Rivers flow,

The body breathes.

Because life is already here in the now.

Complete,

Whole and untouched.

You do not need to fix anything.

You do not need to understand everything.

You just need to stop leaving yourself.

Leaving your presence of being.

And when you rest as that pure presence,

Not as your thought,

Not as your story,

Not as the role that you are playing,

Something softens deeply in the heart.

This outwardly search dissolves.

The struggle of seeking loosens.

And what remains is a quiet,

Living presence.

This is not escape.

This is the intimacy with life itself,

Just as it is.

Stay here before the next thought arises,

Before the next label calls you into being something else.

Allow this moment to meet you just as you are.

This is being.

And this is enough.
