(Or the hum of some thing in the room.)
Suddenly, there it is..and at the same time they just 'knew' it had always been there.
Similar to the coming into focus of the hidden merry-go-round in the 3D print.
It was always there...just ever so slightly out of your awareness.

Same with the Presence of the Divine or if it is more comfortable
this 'Consciousness', this 'thing' that is alive everywhere and
has a sound.

I say when you're at work, driving, speaking at a meeting and you're
in love ---with your new puppy waiting for you at home, your new partner,
your new baby, maybe even your new couch and TV, ha ---
you kinda can have them always on your mind, your heart is smiling inside listening to someone, but
part of you is dreaming or thinking of them.
How hard is that? It's natural. The thought of the night before or your puppy running to you when you get home is just simply
'on your mind', in your heart.

Same with the Lord or God or the Creator by any name or concept or aspect - the brilliance, the genius, the vastness,
the power, the love, the goodness of this Spirit or Being is very easy to be aware of.
If you don't know this Being, start now, Be still - become aware and feel, sense the Presence within and without.

You know Parmahansa Yogananda was asked by one of his students, "When will we know we are getting closer to God?"
Without any hesitation he said, "When you feel."
So different than thinking, figuring things out with your logic, asking questions...or focusing on
problems or a slight you feel someone has done to you.

There is nothing to figure out about the feeling of being with
your puppy or being in the arms of your special person...home, safe and loved.
Same with God, by any name, for me anyway.

YEs!!! Perfect
