A human being consists of a body and self/soul. The soul is the Self, the One, infinite and where our sense of identity comes from. That's the whole point of spirituality almost, to find our true self and grow as that, aka the Soul. The Soul is not born nor will it die, it is what will transform/ascend us to the afterlife when we (body) dies, it's what will make the journey to the ultimate destination, our meeting with our and everything's Creator aka God

I think Leo described it like this, which is very cool -- Pure, transparent, empty awareness.

So, I am pure, transparent, empty awareness.  Being that is Being.  Of course, these words can only serve to point.

So, let's fix this right now -- ready!  Ok.

I am kinda sorta like pure, transparent, empty awareness.  There!  Fixed.

This video gets at your question:

@harisankartj It's very hard to give a description of it. Echkart Tolle himself said this, thus it is more vital that you get in touch with being, but it's like being it touch with reality in a magical way, similar to how a fascinated/ curious child is. Hence, it a state that is very blissful. 

That's why @sgn has literally written nothing. So it is clear that you will find that the deeper you get in to spiritual work the harder it will be to explain to others not doing the same work. 

That's why it's explaining spirituality is paradoxical! And sounds so contradictory!

Alright folks!  Drumroll . . . . . . . . . . . !!  

BEING = Non-symbolic, un-centered, empty awareness of fleeting sensations in the moment.

Non-symbolic -- a symbol is real but not the thing that it represents.

Un-centered means that awareness doesn't have a point of perception.

Empty means that awareness is not the content of awareness.

Sensations include thoughts.

Based on my glimpses of being - this would be like trying to explain *seeing*. I can't explain it. I just do it.
