Just being. We ARE a human being. Being Human is an essential thing that we become. It doesnt create economic wealth, and why historical ignorance has many of us needing to relearn about it.. It creates REAL wealth, that we everyone and everything benefits from. It is the most perfect state of our design, where everything is working as it should, and we are noticing, We are in our natural state, in our present moment, and we are experiencing our own life. We are using/driving/being the manager of all of our components, knowing how and the purpose of them. :-) --------------- The following quote is a lovely description from philosopher Alan Watts (1915-73) of his experience of Being. Born in England, his interest went to learning of wisdom from other languages and peoples that he knew was missing in his own country.: As it is, we are merely bolting our lives—gulping down undigested experiences as fast as we can stuff them in—because awareness of our own existence is so superficial and so narrow that nothing seems to us more boring than simple being. If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering. Is it surprising that an existence so experienced seems so empty and bare that its hunger for an infinite future is insatiable? But suppose you could answer, “It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.” How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such a fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself as anything less than a god? And, when you consider that this incalculably subtle organism is inseparable from the still more marvelous patterns of its environment—from the minutest electrical designs to the whole company of the galaxies—how is it conceivable that this incarnation of all eternity can be bored with being?” ~ Alan Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
