...the sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light
the stars of heaven will fall
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Then the Son of Man will be seen
coming in the clouds with great power and glory
Mark 13:24
such a time as this...
Esther 4:14
in the liturgical year
moving from "original"?!?!?
{as we've heard some say}
'ordinary' time
into the season of 'Advent'
a time of preparation
and expectation
in the calendar year
the beginning of the biggest shopping season of the year
in the world
emassing troops along borders
"The early but learned pattern of dualistic thinking
can get us only so far;
so all religions at the more mature levels
have discovered another “software”
for processing the really big questions,
like death, love, infinity, suffering, and God.
Many of us call this access “contemplation.”
It is a non-dualistic way of seeing the moment.
Originally, the word was simply “prayer.”
It is living in the naked now,
the “sacrament of the present moment,”
that will teach us how to actually experience our experiences,
whether good, bad, or ugly,
and how to let them transform us.
Words by themselves invariably divide the moment;
pure presence lets it be what it is, as it is."

When you can be present, you will know the Real Presence.
