How Presence is Lost

 Even a mild thought can deprive one of presence, leading to unconscious behaviours. Total alertness is required at all times specially in situations when some form of clinging or aversion may arise (seeking or escaping). Both forms create mild instability leading to unconscious behaviours that lead to ineffective outcomes. The only remedy is constant vigilant awareness to the breath and body. This could be when one is by onself or when with others, high presence is required in higher stake situations. 

Real Freedom

Real freedom arises when you create no more enemies in your life. You make no enemies out of any aspect of yourself (thoughts, emotions) nor enemy our of others or aspects of others, situations, the present moment, past or future. When all of life becomes your friend, you have finally become free. You will then bring love to everything you do, everywhere you go and transform everything you come across. 

You Only Need One Enemy to Suffer

 You only are required to create one enemy in your life to create suffering for yourself. Some have many more, but even one is enough to cause you suffering and misery.
