Micro Tale #511: "BEING" by Leon Enriquez
~~~~~~~~~
Being is the distinct state of existence. Being is the very essence of who you are. Being is the unique characteristic -- and the special quality -- accorded to a human being. Being is a state of conscious awareness. Essentially, you are consciously aware of your humanity which contains an in-dwelling spirit living in the now and here.
~~~~~~~~~
You are a human being who inhabits the convergence of two worlds. In fact, you embody a mortal dimension as a man who lives in the physical world. You experience the physical world of substance or matter through your five basic senses. You perceive and know the world through your vibrant sensations or feelings.
~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, you inhabit a spiritual dimension as a soul who dwells in an unseen world. You experience the spiritual world through your insight and higher perception. You are inspired by your sixth sense and creative imagination.
~~~~~~~~~
To put this complex conundrum in simple terms, you are a spiritual being and you experience a physical mortality as a human being simultaneously. You have one foot in the world of matter, and the other foot in the world of spirit.
~~~~~~~~~
As a spiritual being, you are truly complete and perfect as an undying divine creation. You are imbued with the divine spark of life by an all-encompassing creator. This divine creator God or All-That-Is -- is truly beyond our finite limitation to comprehend or to understand. God who is infinite, inspires each soul to know. Thus, we can certainly feel the presence of God in every fibre of our being.
~~~~~~~~~
As a divine spark of life, you are -- here and now -- traversing this earthly realm. Consider your self to be a pilgrim on an earthly journey. Our individual soul quest is to understand what it means to be divine. This means that you are a being experiencing the process of becoming.
~~~~~~~~~
Becoming is subject to change in this mortal space of linear time. All experience is subject to the law of change. The process of change occurs in time and space. Thus, the change process causes becoming.
~~~~~~~~~
But you are a human being, and not just the becoming in the movement and the motion of change. Being does not change. Only becoming changes.
~~~~~~~~~
You are both the silent observer or the watcher of what happens moment to moment. Yet, paradoxically, you are also the noisy participant in the dance of love called life.
~~~~~~~~~
Love is the cause of life, which is thus the dance and the movement in the physical dimension of space and time. Mortality manifests in the space-time continuum where physical laws bring order to apparent chaos.
~~~~~~~~~
Thus, you are consciously aware of your divine nature spontaneously enmeshed in your fragile mortality -- in the here and the now -- even as human potential meets eternity face-to-face on the emergent horizon of self-discovery.
~~~~~~~~~
You are the being, not the becoming. Being is the vehicle that empowers your soul self to fully experience this earthly incarnation. Your purpose in life is to be love incarnate that works as a compassionate yet proactive agent. You are love, and your true nature is love.
~~~~~~~~~
Service is the manifested reality of your beingness. You are simply an instrument of love. In truth, love is the sole reason for your soul incarnation in this mortal realm. Only you can do what you do. Love blesses all through the virtues of truth, beauty and compassion.
~~~~~~~~~
Grace is the light that tells you that you are on the right path. Remember to do what you came here into the world to do.
~~~~~~~~~~
Love is truly the fulfilment of the law. Because love transcends the law though grace which brings many blessings and miracles.
~~~~~~~~~
Love unfolds through being as the light that shines in the darkness. And darkness is the cave that hides true illumination. Be a true blessing to all you meet as a genuine and authentic human being wherever you journey. Start by just being the best version of yourself. Be true. Be kind. Be good. In the end, we will all reach our final destination: home.
