Primitive Christianity Revived, Again

Presence in the midst ... in the vernacular of Presence.

I am there when anger or joy approaches from the realm of feeling. I am there when another manifests anger or joy. I am there when a wonderful or compelling thought approaches from the realm of ideas. I am Presence between the manifestations of thought and feeling.

Re-turn to me amidst all the thoughts and feelings that approach. I am the Peace in the midst of all clamor; opening a quiet space to live the Life. I save Presence within so that eternity lives even as the realms of thought and feeling push against the Life. Peace is being/Being in me.

To know me is salvation in the Quiet that transcends the clamor even in the midst of it.

Comment by Patricia Dallmann on 7th mo. 11, 2014 at 8:25am: The standard of truth is too high for the assertion of thoughts or the release of feelings. They can't even approximate; they just miss. Alliance with truth or subjection to deceit is known, and there's no mistaking one for the other: it's either peace in the truth, or it's anxiety in self accommodation.

What you're writing in these first-person posts have gospel power in them and thus reach to the witness of God. I'm grateful for the generosity that accompanies your faith.
