A habitual, silent communion with God.
I have given up all forms of devotion and set prayers except those required by my role. My only task is to persist in His holy presence, maintaining it through simple mindfulness, and a general affectionate attention to God, which I may call an actual presence of God.
Or, to put it better, it's a habitual, silent, and private communion of the soul with God, which often fills me with inner joys and ecstatic experiences, and sometimes even outward ones, so intense that I have to take measures to temper them and prevent them from being noticeable to others.
In short, I am convinced that my soul has been with God for over thirty years. I skip over many details to not tire you, yet I think it's appropriate to tell you how I see myself before God, whom I view as my King.
1 Peter 1:8-9
Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
What difference does it make to recognize that God is already with me?
What motivates me to converse with God?
