We were just "being" before our personalities were formed. Our parents, peers, society in general, conditioned us, memories were formed, a past, future...all of it. We call this formation "I" or "me". The original 'being' has been carried around with us in the simple form of awareness, but heavily shrouded in the cloud of personality.
Being is quiet, but the source of our life. Most of us "die" without ever realizing we are not personality, but being. There are some who are enormously curious and want to get in touch with being, before the death of personality.
The only way to get a peek is to quiet personality. The life we live does not have to change at all. We can live a full, exciting life and still be in touch with our being. Thoughts may have to be watched a bit....not followed into programmed dramas, etc. Being will emerge more and more as personality leaves center stage.
It all may seem very complicated, but it gets easier when suffering lessens.

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them? To die: to sleep:
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,--'t is a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action."(Hamlet III.i.55-89)
--William Shakespeare
I believe he said it all.

Being aware of your thoughts and emotions. We do not need to define existence to progress through life. We only need to understand ourselves and shape our beliefs according to what we experience on our journey. Truth, happiness, and morality are all subjective.
The nature of being is the ability to think, solve, feel, and rationalize your perception of the world.

it is.
It was before we even noticed it, and it will still be long after we stop, you can't change it, and there ain't a damn thing anyone can do about it.
we could wax philosophically about it, but to do so would merely be mental masturbation.
As such, I'd recommend spending your time and effort on more productive queries.
