7b Releaseing into the experience of Divine Presence. As noted in the previous section, joy is the product of a quiet mind. When the mind is at rest like this, we become aware of what is happening around us from moment to moment. As we allow ourselves to sink deeply into this Awareness, the sense of I/me-self identity begins to disappear and this results in an aliveness, wholeness, and awesome sense of Presence, which only can be experienced, but never clearly described. This section addresses the opening of these gateways.
