Hello, this is my first post here at Steemit.
I look forward to the opportunity of sharing with you insights that will help you in your process of Self Discovery such as the one below on the subject of Happiness. I will also be sharing really good entry points on crypto trading.
Everything we do/get by choice we do so to derived happiness from it as it reminds us of our original state of being…a state we all deeply long for.
Unfortunately, nothing can compared to that pure bliss we once had before it was forgotten and replaced by the false notion/idea that we need to do/get things that makes us happy in order to live a happy life.
When did such notion start?
Did it start with that first toy or pacifier it was given to us as babies to ‘help’ us stop crying? Did it work? Perhaps it did for a moment until that moment passed. That moment has lasted for some minutes and for others years. Sooner or later though, most of us have come to realize that regardless of how many things we have acquired, we are not any happier than when we first felt unhappy in our baby days.
So what went wrong?
Before separating from our mother's womb, we were one with it. We had no needs of our own. After such separation, we have, unknowingly, identified ourselves with a demanding response in our body/mind (voice) triggered by signals emitted by reactions from our body senses. You see…we have been given the most smart computer of all times, the mind, and the most sophisticated vehicle, the body, to do wonders with it.
Instead of using it to our advantage we have become fully identified with it. Everything we claimed ourselves to be is nothing more than the sum of accumulated responses stored & linked to a massive storehouse/driver known as consciousness
The question is: Are you willing to set yourself free so that you can reclaimed your original happy me? An experience where there’s no right or wrong, good or bad, evil or godly…no suffering, no moments of temporary happiness, no reactions to every thing, being or thought it passes by. Only a never-ending sense of ultimate peace and joy unchangeable by anything nor anyone around you?
Oh it sounds sooooo good and promising! Until you realized in order to let let go of this identity, I must let go of all the attachments linked to this identity, meaning letting go of all that you think you are, all that you think you have, all that you think you like & dislike, all the people you think you are related to, all the people you think you love or love you….all that you think is real…how much are you willing to let go? how deep are you willing to go?
