Human BEING

“This life is a continuous unfolding to know more deeply your true nature” -Daniel Coetsee

There are two aspects to you.

You have the Human side which includes – hopes, dreams, fears, desires, pain, success, failure.

Then you have the BEING side of things – Stillness, Peace, Love, Joy, Beauty.

Now here is the funny thing, we are here to experience ourselves as both.

We are Human BEINGS.

We are here to experience confusion, to feel lost without any clear direction of who we are and what we are supposing to be doing on the Human level.

We often come to a point when we think we’ve found what we have been looking for, “finally I’ve found it/have it” seems to be our underlying thought. Whether it’s a new relationship, new job, new home etc. We feel like “this is it, I have arrived”. We only have to wait awhile to find those same feelings of uncertainty and dissatisfaction resurface. Now all the unanswered questions, the doubt and the confusion are present in our experience.

Yet in those moments where we feel so lost, it is true that at a deeper level we can feel totally at Home.

These periods of uncertainty (which we all experience, often!) are actually what drives us deeper.
They drive us to our infinite essence, deep within.
The realm of BEING is now known, non-conceptually.

So these confusing times are actually to be celebrated. Hallelujah!

It is all part of this magical experience we call Life. These feelings of doubt, pain, loneliness and frustration are all part of the Human side, to live a life where we deny them would be to suppress part of ourselves.

Embrace those uncertainties, feel them fully.
Allow them to be in the Space that you are.

On the level of Human we sometimes feel like we don’t belong, loneliness rages within us, confusion and isolation seem to be our only companions.
On the level of BEING we feel totally connected, complete love for everything in existence including our unwanted feelings.
When your life does not seem to make sense.
Go deeper to a place where things don’t have to make sense.

When things seem to leave you with only questions and no answers.
Go within where your questions are given a place to rest with no desire to be answered.

When you feel alone.
Find that place where all you feel is ONE.

Be perfectly imperfect.
Be incompletely complete.

You are a Human BEING, friend.
