Morphology

inbeing = being (semi-transparent) = in + be + ing

The compound suggests an 'inner being' or inward self, which is fairly inferable, but the spiritual-psychological sense is somewhat lexicalized. [Postprocessing: moved 'in' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word inbeing comes from in- 'inside' and being 'existence' or 'self', so it means the life, feelings, or inner self that live inside a person.
