Being vs Becoming: The Spiritual Key to Becoming Your Higher Self

Being vs becoming is one of the deepest ideas in personal growth and spiritual growth. In this episode, Yuki Yoshii explores how aligning with your higher self transforms the life you create.

Many people focus entirely on becoming the next version of themselves. They chase goals, achievements, and identity upgrades. But when the process of becoming is disconnected from being, life can start to feel exhausting, mechanical, or incomplete.

In this episode of the Satori Mindset Podcast, Yuki Yoshii explains the powerful relationship between being and becoming and why both are essential for conscious living and personal transformation.

Being refers to the essence of who you truly are. It is the realm of presence, awareness, and the deeper spiritual identity that exists beyond thoughts, roles, or personality. When you access this level of being, you reconnect with the feeling of wholeness and inner grounding.

Becoming, on the other hand, is the unfolding of identity within the physical world. It is the process through which you grow, expand your beliefs, and develop the next version of yourself through experience.

Yuki shares how identity is always created within context and relationships. Every role we play in life exists in connection to something else. Understanding this dynamic allows us to consciously shape the version of ourselves we are becoming.

The key insight is that being and becoming are not separate. When you are deeply present in your being, your becoming naturally unfolds. And when you intentionally expand your beliefs and identity, you allow your life to evolve toward the experiences you desire.

This episode offers a powerful perspective on self realization, identity expansion, and the balance between spiritual presence and personal evolution.

If you want to better understand how to align with your higher self while consciously becoming the next version of you, this conversation will give you a deeper framework for navigating both growth and inner peace.

 We are never a noun that is static, but we are always a verb that's moving.

Welcome to Satori Mindset podcast. My name is Yuki Yoshii, and this is your time, your moment to reflect on yourself, your life, and to integrate your journey, to feel aligned and to ultimately make the awaken version of you a default mode. So let's begin. 

Okay, so today I wanna talk about being and becoming, and this has been a so fun journey for me because being and becoming is, you know, the integration of this is what I teach, that's what self-realization means, and being means to really align with that essence of who we are. The spiritual being of who we are and then becoming is this part of the construction of the identity, like of who we become each and every moment.

And I think, you know, you can explain this from a different perspective, right? Being is in the realm of the presence. And becoming is in the realm of experience. Being is in the realm of knowing and becoming is in the realm of belief. Being is in the realm of the essence of who we are becoming is in the realm of identity, personality, who we become, who we define ourself in this physical world.

Something that I must say is that this becoming of the personality, becoming a person, a certain person, forming an identity, can only happen in the context. So this relative realm, the physical world, is the realm of the relative. It's also a contextual field. Now, what I mean by that is that there's always a context.

So right now the context is that I'm speaking and you are watching or listening. That's context. Now, because we have this context, I can become the speaker. You can become the observer or the listener, right? So the speaker, the idea of speaker emerges out of this context. The idea that you're listening to emerges out of this context.

Does that make sense? So it's a little blind spot. It can become a blind spot because you need to kind of zoom out and look at. What exactly is happening, right? So every single identity that we shape in our mind only happens in relationship. So, you know, we are a child of our mother, right? The idea of child, a child can, can only emerge when you have the mother, right?

And. Somebody who is a mother, if you're a mother, mother becomes an identity as a mother when you have a child. Right? So that definition, that identity, that personality of what you are playing in this physical role, the role you're playing in the physical role only is born through this context. Yeah.

Now. In the spiritual practice, we often talk about none of those stuff that we shape an idea and a conception of us that we shape in this physical realm that consists of five senses. See here, small touch, that that's the language of what creates experience is. The essence of who we are. So beneath that, the palpable feeling that you feel inside of you, the presence of you is the realm of being.

Yeah. And because we are, you know, if I explain this, I can sort of dissect. Explain the pieces and the parts of it, but they're not separate, right? They're all integrated and forming the presence and experience forming the knowing and the belief, and forming the being, and the becoming. So that's exactly what I wanted to talk about today.

In this physical room, you can access and type into the, the beingness of who you are. Which is above the mental construct, above your thoughts, above your inner dialogue, right? You cannot feel you. You access through the medium of feeling. You feel the presence of it right now. That is the essence of who we are.

But because we are living in this integrated field, right, the physical realm cannot be separated from the spiritual realm. Therefore, your becoming cannot be separated from your being. So let's say if you're being right now, right? If you're being here to be present, right, you're being fully present in the moment.

And then when you're being fully present in the moment, you cannot not become because things are unfolding. All the time because time exists because everything that is living has movement to it, right? So everything that is living has movement to it. We are movement. We don't move. We are movement. We are never a noun that is static, but we are always a verb that's moving.

So when you are fully present in the moment, you are at the same time constantly unfolding the next layer of becoming the deeper layer of becoming. So you cannot not become as you are being. Yeah. Now then what do we do with all this information right now if you constantly navigate your attention to the becoming part of it.

You might feel like something is missing or you might feel like exhausted because the aligning with that, you know, being who we are is the home. So you want to be sitting and grounding in that presence all the time. Now, if you only practice being and do not pay attention to the becoming, and you let the becoming.

Be automatic and habitual and let that default mode of the becoming take over, you will end up feeling not growing or advancing or living a life, creating the life that you want. Does that make sense? Because we are here to expand and an expansion of the identity of you you're becoming is simply to.

Allow the mind to accept the version of you that is closer to the completion of who you already are. Let me just explain this again, because sometimes this can puzzle people, right? So spirituality is all about getting into the presence and to access and tap into the power that exists. In this infinite universal intelligence and you and I are part of that infinite universal intelligence, and it's a vessel in the portal that the energy and power flow to and through us.

So we must tap into that realm in order for us to feel home. Stand because we have an ability to create. We have an ability to desire. We have an ability to express an experience in this physical room. We must continuously. Expand our mind to become, let's just use the term, the next layer of us, whatever that is congruent with the desire.

I don't know what your desire is, so I don't know what your next layer is, but there is another deeper version of you that you can unfold through the cultivation of the belief and the more you expand your belief. By limiting removing the limits in your belief, the belief gets closer to the knowing of who you are and then you start attracting things to create an ex experience life.

Yeah. So we wanna ground ourself into this being, at the same time, to understand that the unfoldment of the becoming is happening all the time, and we wanna deliberately bring our attention to. Think and feel the good that we desire and think and feel the, the expanded version of you to make that real so you can begin becoming the force of attracting the life that we're gonna be creating.

So I hope that makes sense. Sometimes this becomes a little ply and you wanna kinda step back and let that information to sit and sink into you and. After all, what it comes down to is an awareness and attention because everything that we are experiencing and what I'm talking about exists already.

How do we activate that energy or what I'm talking about is by putting attention to it and becoming aware of it and to put attention to it. So we wanna become aware and put attention to the presence of who we are and deliberately. Shift our awareness and attention to the life that we wanna be creating.

The version of you that you wanna become, so you can constantly become moving towards what you wanna create instead of moving away from the desired outcome.

 thank you for listening to the podcast. A message I want you to take with you is this, you have a power to choose how you see yourself and the world at any given moment, so stay connected to that wisdom.
