“In every human being there is a heaven whole and unbroken” Paracelsus
Happiness is an increasingly rare commodity in modern society, yet chasing after it is a dumb way to seek fulfillment. The irony of questing for joy, is that bliss is already preprogrammed.
The prize is on the inside- at the bottom of the cereal box.
Wise folks, have historically said: “what you are looking for- is inside of you”.
The inner core is often the very last place humans probe for happiness. In order to access our bliss, we have to know where its located. So please inquire within.
Zen stories, say we are “Riding an Ox – in search of the ox”.
Genuine inner joy resides within the inner sanctum of the soul - below the surface of skin.
Not beyond self- but inside the self.
Accessing this inner flow of happiness requires sensing your soul through Quieting/meditation.
Much like monitoring your vehicles gas gauge, core referencing becomes a natural reflex. Bliss sits slightly off center from ordinary awareness so it takes a redirect from freaking and fretting to notice the miracle inside every moment. Look up and lock eyes with life.
The way to happiness is super simple- stop being unhappy.
Sexy as it sounds, bliss isn’t the rarefied reserve of saints, It’s an everyman’s sensation.
High octane happiness is spiritual rocket sauce.
Get you some!
