Our Being is that which we truly are, prior to any self-judgement, constrictions, labels, or controls – prior to being ‘put into a box’ in order to make who we are acceptable to the people and to the world around us.
Our Being is always present as our underlying nature. However, in moments of self-judgement we don’t recognise this because we get caught ‘in our heads’.

Direct, Real Experience of Life
“Being: For people who want to have real lives, rather than conceptualised lives lived in their heads.” – James Blacker
When we are in our Being we have a direct, real experience of life, and of reality. Conversely, when we are in our heads, we are not actually experiencing reality – we are thinking about a concept of what we are doing, rather than experiencing the actual moment itself. By adulthood, most of us have gotten into the habit of living in concepts and thought, and forgotten how to live the experience itself.
