Being is the foundation of our existence.
Before a thought, emotion, identity or story about ourselves, there is the simple fact that we are. Joy of Being points to discovering that fact directly — not as a belief, but through self-investigation.
Explore the journeyBefore becoming, there is Being.
We usually experience life through the local agency of body, mind and emotions. The body senses and acts. The mind interprets. Emotions respond. Together they create our familiar sense of personal existence.
Body. Mind. Consciousness.
Body
The changing physical instrument through which the world is experienced, situated in time and space.
Mind & Emotions
The changing movement of thought, memory, interpretation, feeling and reaction that gives meaning to experience.
Consciousness
The knowing of experience — that by which thoughts, emotions, sensations and circumstances are recognized.
Everything we usually call “me” changes.
The body changes. Thoughts change. Emotions change. Circumstances change. Roles and identities change. Self-investigation asks: what is it that knows these changes?
Experience is present.
Something is happening right now — physically, mentally or emotionally.
Experience is known.
The experience is appearing as something known.
Investigate the knowing.
Rather than adding another concept, look directly at the awareness in which experience is known.
“The journey is not toward becoming someone else. It is toward discovering what is already present before the story of who you are.”
Explore the experience. Then investigate the experiencer.
Vimal's journey through meditation, mindfulness, yoga, astrology, Vastu, numerology, graphology and contemplative inquiry revealed different lenses on body, mind, behaviour, patterns and circumstances. The deeper question remained: who is experiencing all of this?
Being is not an escape from life.
The recognition of Being can be brought into decisions, relationships, work, pressure and everyday experience. The aim is not to suppress thoughts or emotions, but to see them clearly as changing experiences and investigate what is aware of them.
Notice that you are. Then investigate what that means.
Joy of Being is an invitation to direct experience, self-inquiry and a simpler relationship with life.
