Everyone Always Experiences Being

Everyone always experiences being. All other experience is intermittent or temporary. Being is the most ordinary, intimate, familiar and simplest experience there is. It is completely independent of mind or body. In the waking state, sense perception obscures the experience of being, which is qualityless. It is transparent, empty, silent, still; therefore, it doesn’t call for attention. Meditation or prayer is simply to become aware of the experience of being. We need not alter the content of experience – we just cease giving it our exclusive attention. The experience of being, then, emerges into the foreground. Nothing sticks to, taints, conditions or tarnishes being. The searches for happiness, union with God, and enlightenment, are all predicated on misunderstanding – the belief that we are temporary, finite, lacking, separate from God, and have been endarkened by experience. This is not true. Being is already and always everything it could ever be.
