Why BEING?It is in your BEING, more than in your DOING or your HAVING, that your authentic happiness can be found and expressed. It is your BEING that determines the HOW you do what you do: the way you parent your child, the way you relate to others, the way you perform at work and even your health and vitality. In the core of BEING you are not as separated, fragmented and fragile as your protected EGO would make you believe. In the core of BEING you are connected to that one universal energy we are all part of. In your BEING life holds for you the natural resources of love, joy and hope for coping successfully with challenges. Your sadness, anger and fear dissolve naturally and effortlessly once you reconnect to the abundance of these resources. You were born into this life with this abundance and this is where you want to return to.
The premiseWe all have two selves: one is the conditioned self driven by survival mechanisms and beliefs that have been developed through evolution and biography. We call this part EGO. The other Self is the source of who we really are: the potential of our unique strengths and virtues, our life purpose. We call this part BEING. EGO and BEING are like two different software operating programs: In EGO we are alone and separated, while in BEING we are inter-connected. EGO is driven by fear, while BEING is driven by love. EGO makes us defend and control, while BEING makes us flow with the NOW and connect openly to people and nature. We are inherently loving by nature. It is neither our biography nor our biology that stops us from expressing authentically who we really are, but our EGO, identity based on beliefs from the past . EGO stops us from returning to our true nature, our BEING . Our EGO desires security and therefore shapes us by rules, labels, social roles, comfort zone, the known. The EGO will resist exploring possibilities of self-fulfillment and a happier life if such possibilities are unknown or out of our comfort zone. Stereotypes are part of EGO while archetypes are part of BEING . Therefore, opening the way to BEING is a two stage journey: You first free yourself from EGO (the “EXODUS”) and then cultivate the potentials of BEING , your seeds of happiness (the “PROMISED LAND”).
“A human being is part of the whole, the ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison”. (Albert Einstein) For more info visit http://www.thebeingacademy.com.au/
