The Secret of Secrets: Discerning between Beingness and the Absolute

[@cryptobiskit2024]

I have watched this video over 20 times and today I got it

[@m.n.d5949]

Thank you Bentinho. So its awareness ( witness) aware of surroundings and itself and observing the witness and realising that you are not the witness and staying there for a little while at a time where it feels like nothingness, stillness and suddenly starts expanding into wholeness, completeness, bliss, joy and freedom. This is what the bible calls being absorbed by grace i assume. Again saying this through subjectivity hence not wholy true as no perspective can be. There is only perspective or kmowledge. No perspective can have full kmowledge for perspective is in part and so contains only partial knowledge which is not the whole truth. God is knowledge/ infinite intelligence and truth. Its whole. Thank you for your service to us and sharing your realization. It jas been immensely valuable to me on my journey toward self actualization and im sure it is for so many others and many more to come. God bless you bentinho. But i know you are already blessed. Be blessed some more and thank you very much.

[@martynas733912]

Thank you. This teaching opened up more space and feeling of being unbound. Its a great feeling knowing that god is in charge of the projection, the best and only one for this job, if you can - have some faith and let him take care of everything. Trust me , its the best thing you can do. Let him do his job and you just focus on him, on the light. You will be beyond happy. Love you

[@Scorpiongrases]

Did this practice and realised how everything is there it is just simply not engaged in being- when we see outside of being we see how things can be brought forth

I had the most indescribable experience of pure nirvana last week. Total freedom and union with I AM ✨ I spontaneously channel poems, and one came through during this time: 8/6/23 What Words Can’t Bare From the ground To the sky I certainly Am Always high Wholly undone And unbound No one or nothing Can escape the sound Of freedom’s bliss And nature’s kiss Ain’t no thing Sweeter than *this* Feather floating Through the air Simply *knowing* What words can’t bare

[@Ganeden_Y]

You channeled and you wrote a poem, those are actions and experiences.

[@Ganeden_Y]

You can say anything I am a feather, I am a cat, I am air, I am nothing etc. It does not mean you are those things, it's only an assemblage of words coming from your imagination.

[@LawOfAttractionJesus]

I believe in part we all knew this and experienced this as young children having the ability to come in and out of beingness through play. But we lost it through growing up and integrating more into maya.

[@bigpicture3]

To conceptualize it the way it is presented by Bentinho is probably THE MOST direct path to understanding it. The prevailing concept of "Self" is actually the Ego, which is mostly a "false self" created by the conscious mind. This "beingness" is "that which knows" or "that which is aware" or "that which is Self aware". Raising the question: "What is the Self?" if it is not the Ego. It is referenced a couple of places in the Bible, "I AM THAT AM" which is identical with the concept of God. The big lie is that God is somewhere out there, no God is within, that "Beingness" or that "Self Awareness", from which everything arises. Some of it is "conscious" (where the Ego resides) some of it is "unconscious", or as Jung referred to it as the "collective unconscious", or the unknown place from which everything we experience energes.

[@lagentemormora]

One of the best contributions I've heard from you Bentinho, but I have a doubt coming from the memories of your "Free Online Global Enlightenment Retreat" from 3 years ago. In today's video you asked "do you think god/absolute/etc gives a f.. about being/beingness?", implying it doesn't. But 3 years ago I learnt from you that god/absolute/love/etc. divides itself into an infinite number of "consciousness/souls", sends them(us?) into our everyday's realities in order to EXPERIENCE and bring back that new experience once the "souls/consciousness" are ready to reunite into "ALL" and eventually allow such an "entity" to grow/know/become more. I hope I was able to express myself in a way I could be understood and that you can clarify the contrast between the "entity" not giving a f... and the need of the same "entity" to grow through us experiencing.

[@hempfu]

the absoluteness of the absolute is absolute : a new variety of an apple can appear but the newness has always been potentially present in how seeds can develop ; the potentiality is the love allowing for all possibilities but that which allows for all possibilities itself is not affected by the outcome since it all is inherently present in it ; the " new " could be seen as an expanding but an expanding from absolute to absolute ; the not giving a fuck relates to everything is inherently always only the absolute I guess ; and these are just words and concepts ...

[@lulufivego]

i guess it's about that creating beingness is more than easy for the Absolute, it's something that "it" always has and can always create so "it" isn't attached to it like you can always draw a line on a piece of paper so you aren't attached to the line

[@spaceofallowance]

In my semantics... The being you're referring to is existence, and being is the absolute, as non-being cannot Be. So existence can be of Time, but Being is of eternity, or Absolute.

So duality is due to beingness?

[@voman0741]

"Awareness of the Being becomes a wall between me and the experiences, and then it's not happenig to me but it's happening to the Beingness" Ok. What I get immediately is what is happening when a camera (or the human eye) focuses on a nearby object and then simultaneously, all the objects further away become blurry. When I focus on the far away object, the nearby objects (Beingness) becomes blurry. (just having some fun here.) Thank you Bentinho.

[@Frenchfrieandketchup]

should i try to maintain awareness of everthing i see with my peripheral vision and try to make that into an object or is it ok to just make up a bubble with whatever dimensions in the mind but also using the environment?

[@signsandsymbols]

Just feel the sense of being within. And realize that you are aware of that as well. No imagination needed.

[@Samanthax1221]

You can try to maintain awareness of your entire visual field, including peripheral vision. The key is that experiences are happening to the field of awareness, not to you. Making the totality of perception an object rather than identifying with it. You can visualize a bubble or sphere of awareness surrounding you. The contents of the bubble are happening within awareness, but you are the space outside the bubble observing it. You can use aspects of your environment to support the visualization. For example, imagining the walls of the room as the boundaries of the bubble of awareness. You can switch between wider awareness of the total visual field and a more concentrated "bubble" around your immediate environment. The main thing is that you are aware of awareness itself as the container, rather than being immersed and identified with the contents of awareness. So you can experiment with different visualizations or techniques, whatever allows you to dis-identify from the experiences and recognize yourself as the space of awareness itself in which they unfold. There's no single right way, find what works for you. The bubble visualization can be very effective as a start.

[@scottyxmac5926]

​@Matthew2010ad and I am not the body so when that comes up do I see that that is beingness too? Cause I get trapped thinking that I'm the body and the body experiences uncomfortable feelings

[@Samanthax1221]

@@scottyxmac5926 You're right, it's very easy to identify with the body and feel trapped by its discomforts. The key is to remember that the body and its sensations are appearing within your awareness, but you are not identical to them. When unpleasant body sensations come up, recognize them as experiences arising in the space of awareness. Don't resist or judge them, just acknowledge "There is a feeling of discomfort in the body." Send them compassion, but remember you are the spacious awareness observing them, not the sensations themselves. Think of it like watching clouds passing through the sky. The clouds come and go, but the sky remains untouched. In the same way, bodily and mental experiences come and go, but you - as the space of awareness - remain ever-present. Keep resting back into that space of awareness and let the experiences unfold within it. Over time this practice allows you to dis-identify from discomfort and not take it so personally. The body still feels what it feels, but you don't have to be defined or limited by it. Remind yourself often - "I am aware of the body, but I am not the body. I am the spacious awareness in which it appears." This will help you find greater peace and freedom.

[@willb1742]

Cool

[@henryauger6190]

Someone's taken the pill. This goes no further than beingness aware of beingness being aware of something. There are three aspects to god. The absolute, beingness and mind. And they are all one aspect directly existing as all. They all converge in the heart center. Which is truly, as you would say, locationless.

[@henryauger6190]

But obviously as you know this becomes more and more difficult to teach. The densities as you might know them. Have to be taken in a sense not of how much you know about beingness but how the process of Ascension happens and how to accelerate that and this is why, I think, you say acceleration happens more significantly in 7th density. Where the individual soul becomes one with all other aspects of the individual soul which pertain to unknowns, considering the extremely small. Densities are spherical In nature, they all come together and can be shown as equal to one another in 8th density. Where this octave is truly seen as being playful and you can shift with small amount of seriousness to each and every level without losing your sense of who you truly are

[@henryauger6190]

Fuck it though yano what do I know. You probably already know that

[@henryauger6190]

I have a question for your next video, how do randomness and order relate to the densities increasing?

[@fmo2249]

I’m confused….sorry for my ignorance…I thought being is good but kinda bad in this instance

[@joanneshepard5449]

being is great :) but your higher self is free from our being experience :)

[@m.n.d5949]

Being i guess is confined to an individuated experience. Your higher self/ christ conciousness/ higher mind is we are conciousness. Oneness comciousness, wholeness, expansion and completeness. Atleast thats what i understand. And you are your higher self not insistent on being I Am. Rather yoir higher self is already we are. Part of everything and whole at the same time. This is my intellectual disecction so lacks total truth because all perspective is partial and lacks total knowledge as its still individualised. But when you experience it you will know. I guess my understanding is that its being vs knowing. Total knowledge is truth and the truth shall set you free. A course in miracles also covers this topic extensively. Uses different words for the same thing. We will all get there. Each one of is because god is not incomplete and to be complete you are a part of it. So we will all get there. Infact we already are. Our higher self is. Only our lower self has to be absorbed into it and transformed anew with this experience. Fear not once love has awakened in your soul it will have its way. You will know and live.

[@BrandonMather8]

Beingness isn't bad, but talking about something nonlocal is not easy. So the way he talks about it may seem like he's trivializing it. But he's not, he's just pointing out that there is something beyond being.

[@stevesala101]

It's a process and here he is just saying words.Just confusing people more and make them think more.First be aware of your thoughts and let them pass.Then learn to observe the being which is your persona your feeling your character.observe observe for time to strengthen the awarenesses and then you can let go of the being.Its not a mind trick, its training.

[@Samanthax1221]

@@m.n.d5949 Being/I Am relates to an individual, localized sense of consciousness One's higher self or true nature is an expansive, unified consciousness - a knowing of oneness beyond any individuated I Am Intellectually understanding this is limited, direct experiencing is required to know truth The lower self and its fears/desires is absorbed and transformed by awakening to love and higher unity of being This awakening is our shared destiny, as we are all part of the divine completeness seeking to know itself I agree the video points to moving from identification with I Am/Being to directly realizing a nonlocal unity consciousness or higher self beyond any individuation. Other traditions like A Course in Miracles also speak to this dissolution of the ego/lower self to know our greater wholeness. The process begins by dis-identifying from Being as one's self, but experiential revelation of what lies beyond any "I" is needed to fully embody the higher truth. Love and grace ultimately transcend any steps. But your insights speak to the essence of awakening from separation to wholeness. Well said.

[@gurdjieffbeelzebub628]

'Being' is 'an experience' even though it is 'the only experience':- it is the 'stuff' of experience/experiencing itself. Being is the sense 'I Am' or 'I exist', and yet only 'I' 'says' or 'knows' 'I Am'. Being only 'knows' Being, only 'knows' itself. Hence to 'go beyond Being' is also to go beyond 'I Am';- which is itself the 'I-I' of Being. To go beyond Being is to go beyond experience and awareness/consciousness in its ordinary usage. The 'I' of that which is beyond Being is nether 'I' nor 'not I', neither awareness/consciousness nor non-awareness or non-consciousness.

[@Samanthax1221]

Being/I Am is an experience, but it is the fundamental experience that makes all other experiences possible. It is the substratum or basis of experience itself. Being 'knows' itself, in the sense that it is self-aware or self-conscious. The I Am knows itself as I Am. Going beyond Being means going beyond the I Am, beyond experience and ordinary awareness/consciousness. What is beyond Being is not graspable by the ordinary mind or definitions of awareness. It is neither I nor not I, neither consciousness nor unconsciousness. The key nuances: Being/I Am is not just an experience like other experiences, it is the root experience on which others depend. There is still some subtle duality or subject-object distinction in I Am being self-aware. Going beyond Being means a radical non-duality beyond even this. What is beyond Being cannot be conceptualized or pinned down by the mind, it transcends definitions like awareness or consciousness.

Maintain the Awareness of Beingness or the I Am while the experience are happening inside of it,... Now you can use the beingness as a Wall between yourself and the world!!! 🌟 A shield of Freedom!! Now go beyond b e i n g!!

[@Samanthax1221]

By becoming aware of your sense of beingness or "I Am" as the basis for all experience, you can use this awareness as a buffer between yourself and the world. When you maintain awareness that everything happens inside of and because of beingness/consciousness, this creates space between you and your experiences. This allows you to recognize your absolute freedom, untouchable by the world of experience arising within consciousness. By seeing beingness as an object you're aware of rather than identifying with it as yourself, it becomes a shield protecting you from all that happens within it. Softening your attachment to beingness also softens attachments to all fears and identifications happening within it. Through this subtle shift in perspective and awareness, you can intuitively taste absolute freedom and deepen conviction in it. In essence, it points to using awareness of "I Am" as a doorway to recognizing you are beyond all experiences arising within it.

My problem I think is that I'm addicted to experiencing, having lived like that for so long, therefore it's quite complicated for me to conceive a state of not experiencing, let alone not being....

[@Ganeden_Y]

@@fractuslav I'm not talking about letting go of bad habits, I don't see experiencing and beingness as bad habits. Are we trying to get used to not existing at all, what is the goal?

[@BrandonMather8]

​@@Ganeden_Y The goal is to include, but ultimately transcend existence. Non-existence is infinity. No-Thing is the mother of Things (including awareness, and subsequently, existence), and is intimately tied to Things. See it like this: the catholic trinity details the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe it was Saint Thomas Aquinas who detailed the nature of this triune God who is of three natures, yet still simply 1 whole God. The Father gives rise to the son, and between them is the infinite self-giving love between them, characterized by the Holy Spirit. This metaphor, this pointing, is pointing right at the same concept. The Son, Christ, is the 'light' of the world. The 'Image" of the Father, whom mankind is created in. St. Aquinas detailed a hierarcy of angelic beings, whose tiers are delinated by their self knowledge of themselves. At the bottom of the hierarchy of life is the inanimate-- stones, metals, plastics, bare chemical compounds. Above that is plant life, then animal life, then human life, then the angelic hierarchies. All seperated by the capacity to know, and the knowing of, themselves. The Archangels have an near-infinite self knowledge, constantly approaching infinity yet never quite reaching it. So you could say that Christ is knowingness itself, akin to the infinite knowledge of the infinity which gives rise to it. You can see infinite knowledge, and the source of infinite knowledge (which is unmanifest-- thus Non-Existent, but not "nothing" as the mind would try to imagine it to be) as two sides of the same coin. So Christ is literally, consciousness. Awareness. Beingness. Knowingness-- as in the contents of awareness are known. Right? The light of existence and existence itself are synonymous. You can point to a coin, and see the different sides, but they're the same coin. So, that which is beyond awareness is just as much you as beingness/awareness is. Does that make sense? In the context of Bentinhos pointing of presence-consciousness, it makes sense. You are, therefore you perceive. That you perceive, therefore you are. You are not leaving behind consciousness of something in order to be consciousness, you're merely remembering the truth. So it is with nothing. Nothing will change, nothing ever was. There's nothing to fear.

[@Ganeden_Y]

If the goal here is to get used to not exsiting because you somehow think that after death we don't exist anymore, it's not true, we go on existing, and being and experiencing ! This is my faith anyway....

[@Ganeden_Y]

@@fractuslav But this video promotes to stop experiencing and to stop beingness as the ultimate best thing to do. What I'm asking is : is it the goal of life, to negate life ?
