I felt this matched up with what I'd learned about an eternal being in Vedanta.<br /><br />As I've investigated the "essence" of phenomena, it has seemed harder to draw a concrete distinction between that "core" and the nature of phenomena.<br /><br />So there's this suspicion that the core is just a reification, and that "being" refers to that very "property" by which anything at all (including "awareness") is known.Adityahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265541752604506523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225985453951330898.post-61892063653298458432018-01-31T00:40:29.987+08:002018-01-31T00:40:29.987+08:00Aditya, care to share what "being" means...Aditya, care to share what "being" means for you experientially?Sohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416159880942160813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225985453951330898.post-75787706329061771882018-01-30T23:10:30.254+08:002018-01-30T23:10:30.254+08:00Lovely.

In other words, there is no being when it is not be-ing.Adityahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265541752604506523noreply@blogger.com
