The Plenitude of Being

One of the things I pursue with Pointfulness is to practice an engineer's philosophy, that is, to find ideas that work based on reason and common sense, with more emphasis on the substance than on the form. The reason why I wrote my book in Spanish and not in French, which is my mother tongue, was to limit myself in the literary sophistication to which the French language almost inevitably invites. Living in a Spanish-speaking country was obviously the other motivation. That said, there are concepts that need to be described and explained carefully and the first, fundamental among all, is the Fullness of Being.

In my book, I explain it through the point full of itself and perfect in its essence and also as the fact of Being without attributes or complements. I want to stop at that second definition. When one evaluates what is most important in life, priorities invariably show feeling loved, accepted, valued, recognized, and helped by others. Then we naturally adopt the attitudes and behaviors that qualify us positively in the eyes of others, adding all the qualifiers and attributes that make us deserving of love, acceptance, appreciation, recognition and help, as if it were a game. addition and subtraction. No matter how hard one tries to score points, there always comes a time when the sum apparently is not enough: Love is not reciprocated or betrayed, such a group rejects me despite my efforts to belong, a boss does not value me even when I gave him the best of me. Be that as it may, sooner or later one is faced with the dissatisfaction or frustration that seems to demolish my being. Perhaps the best example is that of the famous people who, according to our criteria, have everything and who commit suicide or abandon themselves to the hardest drugs.

Achieving the Fullness of Being is being able to live without becoming attached to a qualifier or an attribute. It does not mean that one does not have this or that quality, but it means that one knows that it is an illusion and treats it as such, with distance and observation. What prevails here is the full awareness that, before starting the race to achieve things, first I Am. What we each take for granted, the obviousness of existing in a Universe that we understand little or nothing, is the first thing we forget and abandon to pursue illusions, and yet, therein lies our greatest strength and lasting happiness. The Fullness (of consciousness) of Being cannot be disappointed or attacked or threatened with fear because it is at the origin of everything.

That is the meaning of Pointfulness: Reaching that point of Singular Life, free of illusions, in which lies the full consciousness of Being.
