BEING vs. DOING

Recently, I was at my acupuncture session discussing my Blog with the Doctor/Acupuncturist and her Assistant.  During the conversation, her Assistant blessed us with this saying.  “You are a Human Being not a Human Doing.”  This is a very simple, yet profound statement that I knew had to be my next post!  Shout out to Emily for the Blessing and Dr. Meltzer of Relief Acupuncture for providing the environment for the phrase to emerge….

(2^nd Blessing)

“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
-Nikola Tesla

Good lookin out Shaquera P. for Blessing me with the Tesla phrase!

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines ‘Being’ and ‘Doing’ as…

 Being –

-the quality or state of having existence

-conscious existence

Doing-

-the act of performing or executing

-things that are done or occur

I feel like I’m in my college Algebra/Trigonometry class defining terms, but I digress…Let’s continue…

Energy=Self

Frequency=Harmony with Self (God, etc)

Vibration=Being (Stillness of the Spirit and Mind to Be aware of the Creator within)…

One should Be what they desire, not Do what they desire (on first read, this looks like it makes little to no sense…Stay with me)...The former is the road to Mastery of said desire...For example, in the Hiphop culture, one is either Hiphop or they are not...Meaning, Rappin is what one does & Hiphop is what you are (Being)...When in harmony with this truth, real Hiphop can be distinguished from 'Rap' music...Another example...It's to my understanding, the Biblical Jesus didn't walk around with scriptures reading them to his followers, he was the living embodiment of divinity...Meaning he was God (Being), not acting like God...Doing the works of...

I periodically hear adults conversing on the various aspects of child rearing and teaching the youth how to behave, when we should be educating them on how to be in harmony with the Creator within them.  As adults, we are all making our way through life and want the best quality of it we can achieve.  With the mis-educaton of ‘Doing’, we all encounter challenges, such as, employment, relationship and health choices (exercising & dieting), spiritual/mental health, etc.

These examples illuminate my recurring theme throughout my blog, the re-connection of the self with the Self to empower self. This is done by peeling away the mis-education, being in harmony with the Creator at all times and utilizing its energy to achieve one's goals/desires. Focusing on one’s Spiritual, Mental and Physical aspects of the self creates the anchor/foundation to Be Spiritually, Mentally & Physically Healthy, Be the Parent, Be the Friend, and/or Be the Lover/Companion. To do this, one must go further than acts…You must Be in harmony with what you desire, you must live it…Become the Lifestyle…

In short, Spiritual and Mental healthiness leads to harmonious Physical fulfillment.
