Introductory week: Experiencing the Being

In the language that humans have evolved, humans are the only species referred to with ‘being’ as a suffix. A ‘Human Being’ as she/ he is referred to with is a reference to that individual’s existence in the present. She/ he is ‘being’ in the right now. (‘Being’ as a present participle, in this context is referred to with an ongoing participatory act of an individual)


Being cannot happen yesterday; neither can it be happening tomorrow. Being is not an hour ago, it neither is an hour from now. Being is not in the minute ago, nor it can exist in a minute later. Being is in the ‘right now’. Being is in each moment.

Being is not in the minute ago, nor it can exist in a minute later. Being is in the ‘right now’. Being is in each moment.

Once an act of clearing happens there is a moment when one realises that there is a total silence internally, inside the head – the inner voice no longer is speaking in this moment. In this space of emptiness, and only in this space can a being exist. Being is that expression of an individual. To realise, in that emptiness, one’s existence is a being.


Only when one who experiences the being ongoingly, will be the only ones who can notice a certain degree of calmness inside their head. An almost pause in the moment. In this space one is able to appreciate and cherish the moment.


Unknowingly we all would have touched this moment sometime or the other. Be it observing a sunrise on a misty morning in the mountains or a soothing sunset by the breezy ocean relaxing on the shore by yourself. It could also be the moment when you first gained an ability to balance on the bicycle as a little kid or at a random moment when you were present and experiencing self, the aliveness – probably during a meditation session. Being can only exist in this moment.


We have all cherished these moments, only unconsciously. How can we now do it with awareness – each moment of the day, each moment of the life?

Writing is one of the ways to touch the being, to experience the being, to find and to discover the human being that has been within us all along.

For being, one needs a sense of emptiness within – that is a prerequisite. And, emptiness can come through a clearing of space – internally. Writing is one of the ways to touch the being, to experience the being, to find and to discover the human being that has been within us all along.
