See previous episodes on universal existing, actively existing, and Caring — understanding that Caring is what all living beings are doing. It’s a what’s happening, as opposed to what is, for the nature of reality and living reality, especially.

Obviously, we think of ourselves as a noun, literally related to a person, place, or thing. We do not think of ourselves as a verb, or an action, something that is happening. But that is exactly what we are.

As I have emphasized in the previous episodes, like all living beings, we are Caring. Calling ourselves a human being is a useful label to distinguish our living being from other living beings. But we are not, in reality, distinguishable like that.

Let me use some examples to make my point about being a verb, a happening. We are always breathing; or, it’s not like we take one breath that lasts a lifetime. Our heart is always beating, for similar reasons. Our cells are always metabolizing — again, they continue processing energy to continue existing. Life, or living, actually, is not a thing, a noun; it’s a verb, continuously happening.

Then, on top of that, it’s knowing what living beings are doing, or constantly Caring for their continued existing. That’s how we get to the point of knowing what we are, or Caring. Drop the self word, and leave it at that, Caring. That’s what we are.
