The hidden wealth we seek is here - not over there in some other, better life, says the editor, Byron Brown, in his foreword. Perhaps we once knew this - and then we forgot it again. This book helps us to remember! Presence as a Path is based on the transcript of a summer retreat that Almaas held for the members of his spiritual school. For the first time, he makes his key exercises available to a larger audience and encourages us with every word to relax into what we are, without judgment and without comparison to any standard. When we give ourselves the gift of not searching elsewhere, we now have the opportunity to discover the essence of who we are.
