"Being the miracle" must be a JOYOUS activity of being, or else it is not authentically being the miracle, for true miracles are expressions of love/joy. So very often in teachings and discussions about self-remembering, mindfulness, meditation, etc., rarely do students/teachers speak of or emphasize the fundamental importance of SELF-LOVE/JOY.

Focusing on thoughts, feelings and activities that bring joy and extend joy is far more practical and easier to accomplish than spending months or years practicing meditation in learning to "quiet" or "still the mind" or to "be present." Most meditative practices lack a central focus on the core importance of self-love/joy.

When one learns that joy is not separate from self-realization, that bliss is not separate from surrendering to The Now, one realizes that focusing on inner attunement to their joyous True Nature is actually enough. . .that this focus, this attitude, accomplishes deep realization of one's Inner Being far faster than sitting and meditating (or practicing mindfulness of the present moment) in order to reach transcendent states of awareness.

Formal meditative practices are only beneficial to the degree that the practitioner values joy, which is love, which is well-being.

Most "mindfulness" and "being present" teachings are quite dry and lack the most important core point, which is that FEELING LOVE/JOY is that which transcends the prison of lower ego. There is absolutely no spiritual growth or awakening without realizing joy; this is not possible, as all universes exist by virtue of love/joy.

True self-remembering is remembering and acknowledging our True Joyous Nature and nothing less than this, for the real Eternal Now is actually blissful beyond description.

Being present is really about letting go of resistance to well-being, which of course includes letting of resistance to anything. One is not truly being present if one denies himself/herself the gift of feeling transcendental love.
