This shift from self to Presence, or presence, is like that of a family realizing the house they live in is not its home. The house is the appearance, bound within time, so born and to die ~ the house was built, the house will be destroyed or decay ~, while home speaks of the spirit of the family, an indefinable, timeless quality of Love and sharing. Of course, then, through realizing itself as home, the family will want the house to manifest the home in its likeness and unlikeness to all other houses. Yet, there is only one true home, and families either manifest that home or not, and to varying degrees.
Presence is not an appearance, Presence makes appearances possible. Who you think you are became, who you are never became and, so, cannot un-become.

How we see ourselves is not our Home, What makes possible our seeing ourselves is our Home. This makes, yes, all the difference, this allows us to learn to relax into natural being, where we each are already one with everyone called inanimate and animate, and be-at-Home anywhere. This shifts our entire relationship and relating with everything, in a positive, natural way. This is, the Way. And, again, this requires no effort, at all, for this already is.

effortless for is, is of becoming
timeless sequence ~ past, present, future ~
harmonized without negating duration and space
ancient ever-new
to see don't look
so close rarely does one see
what cannot not be seen
most subtle among the subtle
least obvious among the obvious
like breathings inside quiet breeze
recognized by mind after recognition
known before one knows
