One of the simplest truths in life is that the presence of consciousness, or God, or "divine awareness" can be felt when we let go of the preoccupation we have with the outer world and the thoughts we build around it. It is often in that silence that we can feel what some people call God.

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls."

- Mother Teresa

I'd like to ask readers which situations or environments cause their connection to this deeper awareness to change or become stronger.

Here are some situations I find this silence easier to experience:

1. Meditation
2. Sitting in silence and watching the sun set or rise
3. Looking out for and discovering synchronicities
4. Being conscious in the present moment

On the other hand, situations that tend to negate the magic of this presence that flows beneath all of life make it harder to find it once again. I'd like to invite readers to share their own experiences: which situations allow this presence to shine brighter — and which ones make it most difficult to remember that it exists at all?

I look forward to hearing what Your experience is.
