Once again, welcome to our Spiritual Forum where we examine interesting spiritual principles … and nothing is more important [at the moment] than Happiness … [which is currently much at risk] Why is Happiness so important to Spiritual Practitioners … ? Shouldn’t we be more concerned with loftier ideals, like Inner Peace, Serenity, Compassion, Wisdom, Enlightenment…? After all, isn’t ‘Happiness’ dependent purely on material goods ?! Well, yes and no. Consider that all of Creation is from Spirit, and it is filled, actually brimming over, with unlimited possibilities - many designed purely to bring joy, to uplift, to make the observer happy [ever been mesmerized by a glorious sunset, or a silvery full moon … then you know what I mean] Happiness is fundamental to our wellbeing, it is that which recharges our energies, takes care of stress, makes us a [much] nicer human being, and yes, it can come from material things, but more importantly, it comes from within … so, in fact, ‘Happiness’ is the outpouring of our own Inner Essence, brought forth by an external trigger as a reflection of Who we really are. In simple terms it is this: if watching others embarrass themselves makes you ‘happy’, then that same energy is within you … equally, if surrounding yourself with Nature makes you happy, then that is within you … [now you see the importance of Happiness to your Spiritual practice ?] |

The great Oracle at Delphi had this inscription: “Know Thyself ” … none of us can progress until we take the time to examine - truly - who and what we are … and there’s nothing better than to look at what we surround ourselves with, the energies we choose as our ‘comfort or pleasure’, and those that act as our mirror, showing us too clearly what is inside of us, what is driving us, what we’ve become. |

But don’t despair … No one is holding you accountable [well, except for Karma], no one is scrutinizing your thoughts or passing judgment on every minutia that surrounds you … rather, this is an invitation for you to seek out Happiness in all its glorious Forms - go out, play, have fun, engage in Life’s wonderful pleasures, explore the diversity of abundance, treat yourself [heck, go ahead and spoil yourself !] … after all, you do deserve this, don’t you … ? [pay attention now, this is a very important question] Always remember, each step on the Path is built upon the previous ones … if we have much Happiness within us, we have lots that we can share - freely - with those around us … and that is “living the Spiritual Path” … so, what have you been offering until now … ?! As always, I walk the Path with you, all of us travelers together …. Namaste … |
