I have become much more present this last year or so.  And, the more modalities I study, the more I hear about being present.  Omega Vector,  web site:  http://omegavector.org/ , talks about being present.  Science of Mind, web site:  http://newvisionaz.org/ , talks about being present.  

 Harry Palmer, in “Living Deliberately” states  “the past influences you as long as you let it… the past and future do not exist unless I deliberately… decide to create a memory or image of them in the present.  The PAST is not the source of the present; the PRESENT is the source of the future!”  Harry’s work is the foundation of Avatar.  More info is avail at:  http://www.integral-transformation.com . 

Omega Vector is a non profit Phoenix based group that I have heard was spun off from EST.  EST also spun off Landmark Forum, a Phoenix based for profit group.  This concept of presence as portrayed by all of these, and many more modes is very similar in nature, and yet are all shaded slightly differently. 

Harry’s words resonate in my mind as a way of saying, only in the present does the past exist.  So, when we are stuck in our stories, stories of what has happened in the past, we are stuck in the present.  The story exists in the present.  The past exists only in the present.   This past Sunday, Dr. Medrano of New Vision Center was saying how everyone we have ever known, everything that has come before us, exists in us.  Well yes it does, to the extent we allow it to.  We have choice.  We can give life to whatever story we choose, and by our choosing, we can create the future… IN THE PRESENT.

Everything happens in the present, including the past and the future.

Peace and presence be with you,

Yucel
