Be happy now

At the centre of your being, you are happy to be you.  You are glad to be the way you are at this moment and you are happy about what is arising.  You see the path to the answer you require.  You know who you are and you are exploring unique forms of self expression.  Every choice you make is pointing to what it is to live authentically.  As you reflect here, you are feeling better and better and begin to notice your healthy sheen.  Notice the nature of stepping stones in your life. Insight is speaking to and through you.  Notice what you see and what is expanding.  Everything is a teacher.

"We must never forget that it is through our actions, words and thoughts that we have a choice."-Sogyal Rinpoche

When Choice is Given Up For Lent.... One is often unhappy because someone else or something else chooses. Suffering is Enabled.

When Life In General Is Chosen however.... there is nothing left to Choose since one merely follows a trail of feelings which synchs up with the very core of the universe. One then feels as if they live in the heart of everything and therefore everything is becoming and attractive and inviting. Living within a steady stream of Life Is then a Life of Happiness because nothing is Happening to you.

Actions... words ... and thoughts then may produce choices to navigate a person through a maze. If the ending and beginning is not lived with each step within the structure of the maze, then one has forgotten why they are encased in such a structure. When one remembers that they were never trapped and that there are no goals to score or cheese with holes waiting to eat.... then choices no longer need to be made. Life Chooses You because You are Life. Actions are no longer required because the act of pre-Tending an outcome is over. Words and Thoughts are no longer driving forces towards conclusions. Instead they are tools to create formations and structures as an authenticated artist.

From this Viewpoint.... Choice is analogous to Free Will or Not Being versus God's Will and Being. For to Have A Choice or to Have anything can be said to be in possession of something. And When the Possession Ends... Or a new Possession begins... one can be said to be Happy. So from yet another view point.... why be or feel happy at all..... One can simply jump from the platform of happiness never to see it from a distance again.

All emotions and feelings are valid experiences in this adventure of being human. But often so many are seeking happiness, instead of remembering the simplicity of Being Happy. Be that which you want to experience, there is no journey to get there. We are ALL, there is no way to be separate from anything, we are simply experiencing that which we put our focus on in this moment.

While Cross Country ..... Across Country.... Thru Country ....Within Country Skiing during the Twilight hours I revisited a timeline when you introduced me to some distinctions between happiness, joy, and bliss. I found it to be a good road map at the time and so I had fun expanding upon it.

Happiness is likened to making the subconscious conscious as joy is likened to making the superconscious momentarily conscious where the intense feelings from higher dimensions or source energy come flooding into the heart and begin spreading through out the body and the environment. Bliss is then the equalization of that initially overwhelming superconscious energy so that one's conscious remains equal with source consciousness and where the energy body loses its self to the greater body or to no body at All. Essentially, one activates and energizes one's higher chakras in unison with the first seven chakras in kundalini fashion. So happiness can then also be looked at as the opening up of either one of the first three chakras or in combination of those three.

Stacey and I just played with some words and came up with this together:

Happiness is the gateway to joy if you remember there is no key.

Bern, every moment is a new beginning. The ego view of happiness through its filters. This arises as a constant fountain of complaints, dissatisfaction and suffering. It can never be happy. The real source of its unhappiness is its attachment to its own identity. As it refuses to fall into the trap of desire or fear (surface levels of the mind), then it transforms into pure awareness. The great revelation is that there is truly no such thing as ego or unhappiness. It is the essence of being that gives birth to time, space and the real. Here there is no suffering, only unwavering peace. In this moment, one embodies the divine. All that is real is the present moment. Everything is a reminder you are not a victim of any forces beyond the physical. Taking the ego out of its misery is to embody the deep peace that is your birthright and oneness with all that is. Call it what you choose or nothing.

Stacey, all is indeed one. What you point to is that its not where you go physically but where you go really, internally that reveals true happiness. True goodness is the source of all beauty and reveals itself in your own heart. Be here. If you wish to enter the inner temple, really listen to the whispers here, magic unfolds regardless of where you are and what you are doing. Nothing external can distract you from the ultimate grace and joy. Love what you and Bern share to enrich the reflections.
