He summaries one of the most fundamental truths that's been finding its way into my heart and life for several years. Truly truly life-transforming IF perceived and the perception is kept clear and lived in.

Actually, I thought about something. Whenever a person has "strategic allocation of attention" upon God via the Jesus Prayer, they can be absolutely assured of God's Presence with them and in them. Why? Because, biblically, the only way that a person can truly believe that "Jesus is Lord" is by the Holy Spirit. Every time a person genuinely communes with the Risen Jesus as Lord, that person can be assured that God Himself is empowering him to actualize that communion.

The Jesus Prayer is self-confirming in that way.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Yep. I've downloaded about 8 hours of a series Willard teaches (from Youtube). It's awesome. I'd love to do an all day conference with five or six folks and throw him up on a wide screen and make our own discussion around it.

You know with technology and the internet the way it is today Tommy? You could stream that conference live and or archive it like Greg does his sermons.
