ScnMaster

be able or willing to let someone else be what he is. Beingness is defined as the assumption of a category of identity. An example of beingness would be one's own name. Another example would be one's profession. Another example would be one's physical characteristics. Each or all of these things could be called one's beingness. Beingness is assumed by oneself or given to oneself, or is attained. For example, in the playing of a game each player has his own beingness. Listening to what someone has to say and taking care to understand them, being courteous, refraining from needless criticism, expressing admiration or affinity are examples of the actions of someone who can grant others beingness. The ability to grant others beingness is one of the highest virtues one can have. —Narconon, Communication and Perception Course Approved Glossary
