@Joseph Maynor God. Now I have given my personal answer to all your questions. I asked you one question and you haven't answered it yet. I won't answer more of your questions before you answer my question. Again, a yes or no answer is more than great enough for me.

All egos are God though.

Being is not an answer to the Mind's questions; and on the flip-side being is not an object for the Mind's answers.

Is Being everything?

The word 'being' is a pointer.  You saying being is everything is the Mind attempting to turn being into a thought, a concept.  You have to locate what the word being is pointing to.  It's not conceptual.  Being as a pointer points to being.  There's no conceptual extension for being.  That would be to turn being into a concept, into a thought.

So what is being pointed to? There is actually something or rather no-thing which is Everything. You can say Being is Everything cuz that's what you are and what you actually are is also non-dual and everything.

What does being point to?  Throws a cup of ice water in face.

Okay, I understand. Being cannot be pointed to just like God. But have to sleep now, see you ?

Being can be pointed to but it cannot be captured in the Mind's concepts.

I agree. So before I go to sleep, can you tell me what being is pointed to? Or is that impossible to do with language and the mind?

You need to find out what the word 'being' is pointing to.  That's a major milestone on the Path.

Oh yeah?  The Mind loves to make linear predictions about what you will continue to do.

I know that but I will still do it. Should be obvious for you now why that is so.

You will do it: you will continue to cling to it.  Or so your Mind thinks.  How many times have you deviated from what your Mind thinks you will do?

I'm not clinging to it. It's something that I'm conscious of. I don't cling to it only, It (God) clings to my awareness and mind. To answer your question: Not much lately.

Is being clinging to talk or to concepts or to thought or to meaning?  What is that which talks?

@Joseph Maynor In my case it is clinging or better word being immersed in God-awareness. That cannot be pointed to. It simply just is.

Being just is.  That's why I call it 'being'.  Being means that which is.  More specifically, being is a pointer to that which is like a finger pointing to the moon.  Being has no cognitive content, not would it be appropriate for being to have any cognitive content.  Only thoughts have cognitive content, and what 'being' points to is not the conceptual content of any thought.

@Joseph Maynor I understand that and I agree.
