Process & Presence: Life In Balance by Rav Dovber Pinson

In the world of Process everything is moving towards a brighter future, whereas, in the world of Presence the redemptive future is already present in the now.

In process reality, the self and world are broken, and we mightily and ambitiously strive to improve and to better.

In presence reality, all is now, everything is 'perfect', and there is 'nowhere' to progress, certainly, there is no reason to fight or strive.

Yet, both paradigms are real and this book explores the path of process and the pathless path of presence in unison and how we can hold these dialectical states of consciousness simultaneously:

Duality and Unity,

Becoming and Being,

Brokenness and Wholeness,

Action and Rest,

Motion and Stillness,

Striving and Satisfaction,

Lack and Fullness,

Wanting and Having,

Vulnerability and Strength,

Compassion and Contentment.
