Linguistic philosophy would teach you, "the meaning of a word or utterance is largely dependent on its use." "BE PRESENT" as it is taken outside of specific context is vague. Excuse me if I would use the famous American expression "F*CK YOU" as an example. If I am not an American and I would ask an American what this expression means without giving the proper background how such an expression was used, then his answer will be totally outrageous.

To be present means not to be mentally lost in the past or the future.... it is much to do with presence of mind at the point in time and place.

Be present meaning you'll be in the "here and now".

"BEING" Present, "IN" the Present, "AS" the Presence!

I mean to be there emotionally, phisically, mentally, and even spiritually. I want your mind, emotions, body, and soul to be there not just your body not paying attention.
