Being and Becoming: Finding Balance Between Stillness and Growth

Being and Becoming Poster

There is Being – who we truly are – and there is Becoming.


Being is what we always are, the field in which we play the game of becoming. Becoming this, achieving that – the mind belongs to this aspect of becoming.

But the silence, the quiet, the home, the safe space, the authentic joy – this is Being. It is natural, effortless, perpetually here and now. It is who we are. We have simply not given it our attention.

It’s just a matter of being quiet – realizing, recognizing, basking, and bathing in your Being, which is the source of all life. From this Being, we take support and then enjoy the game of becoming.

Both are perfect.
Being is perfect – formless, natural, effortless.
Becoming is perfect – the body, the mind, interactions, relationships, achievements, and satisfaction.

I’d like to invite you to spend more time with your Being, which is immediately available. You can simply say goodbye to the mind for a while – goodbye to achievements, to the world, to relationships – and just be with yourself, purely, naturally, effortlessly, at home.

You know home. You’re always home. Forever home. You can never leave home.
Even as we transmigrate from body to body, we are always home.

So, recognize the perfection in Being, and recognize the perfection in Becoming – there is perfection everywhere.
