In The World But Not Of It

In the morning, when I meditate/contemplate, through a process of noting and letting go of day to day thoughts and feelings, I finally arrive at the sense of “I am” a part of me which is connected to the Absolute, which I identify with God.  The Absolute, a place of total love and well being with none of its opposites, seems very solid, real and eternal, as opposed to the transient thoughts and feelings of my day to day existence.  If I continue to keep my focus on the reality of “I am”, I can carry out my daily activities, including unpleasant encounters and difficulties, with love, compassion and understanding.  My approach allows me to be “in the world but not of it”.
