Which do you prefer: doing or being?

ahahahahahahahahahaha

being while doing?

-Giammarco

Doing while being

While being doing?

 

[aeon]

Doing suggests subject-object, so dualism consciousness, and ultimately, all manner of nonsense.

Being? Suggests a uni-verse, the is-ness, present eternal moment, no-thing-ness.

Cheers,

Being is like doing; if you probably are, you do, if you will be – you will do, but you need to know who you were and what you were doing, otherwise what you could do is conditioned by your being.
But your being conditioned by doing might not be, so if you don’t know, you don’t do, and by not doing, you will do ahahahah

Haha, lol.

Honest answer though, I thought about this seriously and I am definitely a doer. There are so many things one can do and if we weren’t doers we would just be ( perhaps ) peaceful gelatinous blobs.

We couldn’t help anybody, create anything, say anything, learn anything. Laugh? Love?

No thanks. My vote resides solidly on “do” - not be.

This reminds me the answer I always seemed to get from my third graders when I would ask them to compare two things:
"It's the same, but different."

If nothing is,nothing will be
but being nothing is,
if nothing you can see.

Anything I can't see
is inviting me
to look under the sea

so if you look closely
it's a yellow submarine

Yeah man, that’s it. I was gonna go there, but I don’t know…it felt like social friction, honestly. Glad you did.

Which do I prefer?

I prefer UNDIVIDED.

Amen.

That said, as far as communication goes—I think doing while being AND being while doing—together—suffices.
