In the Presence of Love: Book One

IN THE PRESENCE OF LOVEErnesto is poetry in practice. When you read this book, you will get an intimate and profound glimpse of this very special man who says, "This particular book could be defined in the phrase ''love is not only for oneself but for the beloved''", but for Ernesto, the beloved is God. And it is true. Even though at first the poems may evoke feelings for a "luscious" woman, soon you will realize that the writings are about Sod, the Divine. As Ernesto searches for the presence of God in his life, his soul gets inspiration from things most of us take for granted...the fact that he is alive, the way he embraces life in the moment. In fact, when he sometimes has revisited his own writings, he questions: "Did I write that?" not because he can''t write, but because he can sense a heighten presence in the words. He didn''t want to publish this work. This is a very private and personal body of thought he has developed for himself only, but the practice of the Akashi records suggested to him sharing his feelings and emotions for the benefit of others, because In The Presence Of Love should inspire the reader their own inner search. This accumulation of life experiences Ernesto is sharing with you hopefully will bring meaning to your quest..."it is possible to achieve enlightenment and connection to God and oneself"
