Non Dual searching for Presence

The psalmist writes in today’s Roman Catholic Lectionary, that his soul is calmed like a child with its mother. The psalmist seems to be experiencing Presence. I hope today to continue reading in “The Naked Now” by Richard Rohr. At the same time, I am thinking about an interview, after his latest book, with Bishop John Shelby Spong who ponders the question of the ultimate mystery; death and what happens next. This interview is available as a podcast from CBC Tapestry. Psalmist, Franciscan seer and Episcopal Bishop all identify a living state which, when it is in contact with the Divine resonates with life and will be seen as a life with the “Marks of the True Christian” cited today by Paul in his letter to the Romans. Luke tells the “The Parable of the Great Dinner” where Jesus shares that those who are expected and invited to live in this Presence may decline the invitation. The grace will have its effect of bringing many, the unexpected, to the Banquet.
