The many ways of saying being

Being: the way in which being(s) is(are).
being: the totality
Essence: the whatness of (a) being.
Existence: the thatness of (a) being. Sometimes the totality, in contrast to not-being.
Perhaps both essence and existence are really the how it came to be of (a) being.

What about the not-Being that is not the way in which (a) being is?

I will have to continually alter this blog until I can get it right.
