VALUEABLE FINAL PRODUCT OF BEING AND BECOMING

      This is about the posting below.

      The valuable *FINAL* product of activity can not be BEING
nor even better BEING.

      Instead of BEING maybe you mean BECOMING, better BECOMING.

      BEING is above space and time, and has no better or worse.

      You HAD better BEING, what are you now doing BECOMING down here in 
life?

      Life seems to be mostly of games, games are games of BECOMING, so the 
VFP of BEING might be quality games of BECOMING.

      The VFP of the guy while he is BECOMING some identity or another 
inside a game is what ever the game defines as valuable, food, water and 
shelter say.

      I remind everyone that one can not BE an identity, that's a serious 
alter-is.  One can only BECOME an identity, which means not just the first 
moment of moving into the identity from a state of BEING, but continuing 
the identity from that first moment of assumption to the last moment of 
deassumption.

      English makes this hard, one says "I AM A COP". "I AM BEING A COP".

      No, one is BECOMING A COP in space and time, continuously as long as 
one is a cop, you see?

      If he were BEING a cop, it would be a spaceless and timeless cop.

      Thus BEING can not be improved, but BECOMING can be, and thus
quality BECOMING is the VFP of BEING.
