The Reality of Happiness

I see a lot of unhappy people in the world. They are sad for varied reasons. All of them, save the children, are justified in feeling they are being persecuted by some person, group or unfair situation. My hunch is they are unhappy because they don't know who they are, why they are in the present situation and are stuck in believing what their personal set of authority figures have educated them to believe in and/or against.

Happiness begins when we happen to think for ourselves in the light of the truth regarding people, places and conditions. We are unhappy when we let (enlist) other people do our thinking for us. It may look otherwise when you doubt your own psychic ability to think well of yourself in relationship to others. Nevertheless, it is true. Take teenagers for example. They may act big, bad and brave. In truth, they are not. People who have their act together, truly so, don't try to prove anything to anyone for any reason whatsoever. They are calm, cool and collected. These people don't get caught up with peer pressure - not in high school or in the world at large. Legitimately, they are their own person. They think for themselves in the light of the truth, knowing within themselves they know more about themselves than any doctor, lawyer or Indian Chief.

The individual who is inspired by sanity is well aware that what is junk to one is treasure to another. Likewise, what's considered good to one is evil to another. We live in a relative universe. I've seen someone happy with 50 dollars to their name. I've also seen people miserable with 100,000 dollars in the bank. Monetary happiness is relatively the same as everything else in this universe. All is relative. Dr. Albert Einstein proved this in his theory of relativity. All is light. In other words, E=MC2. H e reported to the humanity that matter and energy are one. Each is the composition of the other, they are as inseparable as the Sun and sunshine.

Light and darkness, good and evil, joy and sorrow, love and hate are the same except they are at different ends of the yard stick. Through the process of mental adjustment we can transform unhappiness into happiness. Why not? We have been endowed with the power to change our mind. It is our prerogative to change our mind. There is a higher selfhood within.

We don't have to get caught by the human condition. The human mind can become unconditioned as easily as a bird takes flight.

We can soar into the heights of the divine by arising in consciousness. There isn't any power upon earth to stop us. By freeing our mind - we free our bodies from the negative attitudes imposed upon us by believing in false ethics and morality. Good morale is the moral code of the brave and courageous in heart. Loving self is simply energizing the moment to inspire the thinking of an uplifting thought benefitting ourselves in relationship to others. All it takes is a perception shift.

If we've turned happiness into unhappiness, then we can just as easily turn things around for a change, a positive change. It is simply a matter of desiring to do so. By taking our attention off of the negative picture of what we don't want to experience and putting it on the picture of what we are renewing as the experience, positive change can then come about quickly, simply and easily. Why? We're no longer blocking ourselves by upholding a bad feeling through negative picturing. Unless we are inspired t o desire such a change, we will not change as long as we stay head strong. We can, however, change the polarity of hate until love is experienced. There isn't anything we can't change, especially if we changed things to begin with. We can't change what we didn't do but we can undo what we changed by lightening up, letting go and letting God (love) have His will that we leave well enough alone.

I once hated myself because the others I wanted to love me wouldn't do it the way I wanted them to do it. Every time I saw them I would hate myself (play on them by being moody) as the way to make them love me as I thought they should do. I am thankful that they never did. It showed me what I needed to learn. I was forcing myself upon them. I wasn't really hating myself as I tried to get them to believe. I was hating them by pretending I loved them. I didn't love myself as the sick way of trying to control their mind. I was pressuring them into doing something I was unwilling to do myself. I was born and reborn to love myself correctly by taking care of my body, mind and soul complex. By thinking for myself in the light of the truth, I soon realized it wasn't healthy for me to enact self hatred. It poisoned my mentality until I became dogmatic in my outlook. Eventually, I repelled the very people I secretly knew I loved the most. I discovered the truth. When you love someone, you take care of yourself for the ir pleasure of doing the same in respect to themselves.

I believe we all need a reality check. Checking into reality once in a while can't hurt but can help us begin to renew, restore and regenerate until the well being of interacting with others properly is a healthy, wealthy and wise thing to do for safe keeping. I began by sitting my body down. Next, I waited until my mind quieted. It was then that I was able to reflect upon my motives. I wasn't loving towards others because I wasn't loving towards myself. I was hard on myself and that's why I was hard on oth ers. I expected too much of myself and this caused me to expect too much of others until I was simply too much. After a good look at myself I found myself desiring to be different in my outlook. I was then on the lookout for the opportunity of overlooking the shortcomings of others just as I had learned to do by sitting down and taking a load off my mind.

If the world is going to be a better place, then we better place in the world a conscious effort to arise in consciousness until we see clearly that everyone we meet is a mirror of where we stand with ourselves. Today, I love me as never before. I can see that others are more tolerant of me than I am of myself. With their help in remaining like they are, I saw where I need to appreciate myself in the light of their appearing differences. I've learned people are great as long as they have the opportunity of expressing the greatness. Those who once appeared to be my enemies truly were my friends. I didn't notice it in the beginning because I was my own worst enemy. If I had been my own best friend I knew I would have seen things differently.

If you are anything like me, sensitive to the fault of yourself reflected by others, I challenge you to take the time necessary to sit down and take a load off your mind. When you do, you'll be glad you did. Until you do, you'll continue onward foolishly thinking you don't need to as I once did.
