What goal or ego does not involve an idea of becoming?
How can we become or desire something we already are, but are simply un-aware of?
Goals and desires can be becoming mind.
Being mind, understanding mind, aware mind is different.

Awareness trapped in the conventional, conceptual mind (the-mirror-of-self-reflection) can only do becoming.
“Becoming” I have understood to mean living or trying to live up to a concept.
