to be Existent

Being is to exist ... according to Western philosophy and existentialism.

Some deny that the concept of "being" has any meaning at all, since we only define an object's existence by its relation to other objects.

Thus, term "I am" has no meaning by itself; it must have an action (verbs) or relation (other nouns) appended to it. [ the Codex]

But for a rationalist this is just a confusion caused by the English language ... "I am" ... "it is" are by definition a sentence fragments. This in turn leads to the idea that "being" and "nothingness" are closely related, developed into the School of Existential philosophy. Therefore, 'being' is uncomplete and meaningless. Is a matter of English grammer, nothing more? The idea "Being" is just another way of saying "Yes" or "Correct". So "I am"... means, " Yes there is something and it is 'I' "

"I am" ... "Sun is", "Hot is", "Bright is", "Big is" ... all examples of 'Being'. Being what? These are examples of being words, words without defined meaning. The Existential thinkers call this - being nothing.

"I am Happy" ... Subject Verb Object = Meaningful Sentence.
"I am _____" ... Subject Verb No Object = Meaningless Sentence, thus being nothing.

 

So ... to have meaning is to be something that exists ... so the Question of:

What is it? = What does it mean to me?

better to phrase the question ... "Who am I?" as "What does 'I am' mean to 'Me'?"

Answer: "I am that I am" ... "I am he who gives the meaning to allthings and to nothings, I am he who judges me"

Short Answer: "I am Heart" "I am Eye" "I am Ear" "I am Earth"

Do you need more?

"I am Heart and the art of being He and He is Me"

"I am the nature of Me, as supreme judged by MySelf"

"I am the explorer and discover of Me on the Absolute journey of Self"
