In order for us to feel secure (or even know that we are secure we must have to have an awareness that we have our needs met (financially, food etc...) even if we feel that the universe will provide it is still an awareness that we have control
So if lingering at the back of our minds there is a sence of peace that we are secure, that must mean that the mind is tapping into that part of our sense of security, even if it is another part of our awareness it is still us!
So can we ever be truly "present"?
