The Shift from Person to Presence

As we move from the state of personhood to presence, there is a shift in how we relate to praise and blame. In the state of personhood, we are often insecure and seek validation and appreciation. But as we tap into the deeper state of presence, these external opinions and judgments become less important. While we can still appreciate sincere praise, we do not seek flattery or fall for manipulative tactics. There is a sense of neutrality and even-mindedness, where we can observe praise and blame without being greatly affected by them. This shift allows us to maintain a sense of inner well-being and harmony, knowing that our true worth is not dependent on external validation.
