The Latest Book from Hans Benes
Believing
Before there is Becoming, there is Believing. Believing is the foundation for our personal growth and the soil where the seed of spiritual identity is nurtured. It is the quiet voice that cuts through the noise of the world, reminding us that something greater lies within us. For many years, I confused believing with dogma, thinking it meant simply agreeing with my family, my pastor, or the long-held traditions passed down without question. However, I discovered that belief is not static; it is dynamic, intimate, and deeply personal.
To believe is to open the door to possibility and to look inward, not for a set of rigid instructions, but for an invitation. An invitation to explore the divine presence that pulses through every breath, thought, and moment, leading us toward Truth, Love, Peace, and Joy. Thus, my journey began—not with certainty, but with a willingness to embrace believing.
Believing, I realized, is not a one-time act; it’s a continuous practice, a posture that orients us toward the greater mystery of being.
Becoming
Becoming is filled with anecdotes and insights about what it means to truly walk the talk—to live in the consciousness of what you say you believe. It includes meditations, dialogues with Spirit, and moments of profound realization that surfaced amidst ordinary life. Sometimes that meant sitting still and listening; other times, it involved standing up and saying “no” to patterns I once accepted as normal.
Ultimately, Becoming is about embodiment in the journey of personal growth. It emphasizes not perfection, but presence; not performance, but authenticity. It's the living expression of the Divine within, where your feet learn to speak the language of your soul.
Where Believing opens the door to the sacred, Becoming steps through that door and begins the walk toward spiritual identity. This journey is messy, beautiful, humbling, and radiant. It is the alchemy of belief becoming behavior, of thought becoming form, and of prayer becoming practice. In this process, the essence of Truth, Love, Peace, and Joy is experienced. Every moment of becoming prepares the soul for the stillness of being.
Being
Being is the sacred pause after the journey of personal growth. It embodies the vibration of peace when all striving ends. It is not about checking out of the world, but entering it more fully—with clarity, compassion, and the joy of simply being. This is the state in which we become mirrors of the Divine—not as saints, not as mystics on pedestals, but as fully alive humans who have remembered our spiritual identity and the essence of who and what we are.
If Believing is the inhale of possibility, and Becoming is the active circulation of spiritual intention, then Being is the exhale—the release into the eternal now. It is where the soul rests in its own light and embraces the Truth, Love, Peace, and Joy that affirm, 'Yes. I am home.'
