Definition:

Being is the core essence of anything which is organic. The Being exists deep inside, covered by the abstract layers which cover all.
Being is a dynamic nucleus, existing within what is alive.

The Issue:

Indeed we live - but are we actually alive or just exist? We behave as though someone is in the 'house' but are we really at home - connected to our inner Being?

This site includes two sections, both deal with Being or it's absence:
The "Fourth Way" section, and the "Being" section. The related essays in The Fourth Way section deal with the shock caused as we 'look with horror' at the situation of human being with no Being. The 'Being' section relates to the thing itself: to be, Being.

The Fourth Way section does not deal directly with the Being issue but rather generates the necessary awareness towards the reality of our lives without the Being. It is like a driver discovering that he drives with no air in the wheels, or like (as most of us have experienced in dreams) realizing that we have no clothes on. The Fourth Way is to do with WAKING UP, becoming aware of reality. Following the shock generated by the meeting with the Fourth Way teachings we may start to live, to BE.
This stage is opposite to the beginning of the process: now we should not do or initiate anything - we either exist or we don't, have a Being - or live without it. In this stage we need to 'let it be', (see the essay by this name), without interference. This is what the section 'Being related essays' is about.
It is really a two stage process: The first stage is based on concentration, projection, realization (the Fourth Way related essays.) The second stage is about letting go completely, so one can now jump the quantum leap - into Being! (These are the essays related to Being.)
