> A being does not have being; it belongs to being

In a sense, I agree: beings do not own the to be, but the to be owns them
(we may call this: the rejection of holism).

But, it seems a Platonic prejudice lurks above: that the participation of
ideas to things is one way. In fact, to speak in Platonic terms, the
horseness has a horse, as well as a horse has horseness (a two-way
participation, specific to pantheism). So, to say, in this sense, that
beings do not have the to be, is nihilism, for you deny that they are (i.e.
you say they do not possess the quality of be-ing, of existing), though they
are.
