Who stole my beingness?!!

WHAT IS BEING?

It suggests that its an action that these days we

could relate to living or existence as in a "human being'.

Have you noticed that we have become human doings rather than beings?

How many being moments do you experience in your day ?

How many doing moments do you experience in the day?!!!!



Are you a pile of do-do?!!!!



Being is often understood as ones state of being, a personal human experience with aspects that involve expressions of being aware of yourself,your actions, your surroundings and others, being awake, present, OR NOT!!!!!!!

Doing on the other hand is more like the auto-pilot that most people are programmed to be, in mistake of being!! Take a look at young children or animals. They have ease in their bodies,ease in their minds (probably because it hasnt yet been engaged and trained!!!) and therefore joyous existences,where they live in a state of lightness,fun and curiosity of everything.



So lets look at what you love to do for relaxation...is it gardening? Enjoying a massage? Is it fishing? Walking in nature? Making love? Being with animals? Reading? Sport (either watching or participiating!)...notice how they are all "ing" words?

This indicates a present state in which, yes you are doing to an extent, but how much enjoyment/mental rest do you experience ? You generate a space of where not much else is occupying your mind and therefore all the "important" daily stuff vapourises,as if by magic!

This is like a mini holiday for us and do we even notice the effect cognitively? So, how often or how much time do you allow yourself to indulge these days? Are the Monday morning blues due to the fact you have had a teaser of this energy or worse did you miss out on the weekend?!

And, while we are on the subject, how much of your life is functioning from a place of obligation, you know the "have to's " and I've "got" to.?

How does that feel to you? Do you get niggly,resentful sour ?

Do you "work " 70%, 80%...90% of the week and hangout to go for a surf ...aching, without realising that your innate being yearns for that which re-activates a sense of peace, connection,oneness with that un-acknowledged invisible presence .

Ah-ha! To surf or to go surfing...voila! A great example...to surf = doing,

to ride= doing, or different perspective, to go surfing= being, to go riding= being....are you aware of the subtle difference?

Are we awake,present with the aliveness of it all or are we half asleep going through the motions (sound like your sex life?!! or in fact many areas of your life?!!)

When you and your body are in a state of relaxation (and this doesnt mean you have to be on the couch,relaxation can also involve activity)the body has a chance to relive the generative energy of soul nourishment...is this what makes life worth living?!!! Do we only access this energy through a few narrow avenues that we carve out for ourselves in our lives? Perish the thought that we only create minute amounts of time to allow ourselves us this joy.

Does this mean you have to sell the kids? Give the house to someone and quit your job?! NO! (SORRY!!! as much as you occasionally relish this thought!!). What if you could bring this sense of being into your daily life,be able to access this sense of peace in any activity you choose to partake? Could you strengthen this beingness as you would a muscle? Even if it took time and awareness?

It really is only a choice!

SO! TO BE OR NOT TO BE...
THIS IS THE NEXT QUESTION!!!
