Your Natural State is Happiness

[roydop]

If you ever find yourself in the depths of despair, know that there is an infinite ocean of peace and absolute happiness within you at all times in/as thought free Awareness.

This is your natural state.

I wish all of you the best.

Thank you Roy! And the same to you. Much happiness to you, to share in all your relations with folks.

You are correct that the effects of a formal seated meditation session are both subtle and profound. The objective is for the body and the mind to become as still as death during meditation. When the mind begins to move again, one steps into a changed world, and it happens every time grace smiles upon one's bhakti devotion to the practice, although the smile of grace is incentive enough.

In a sense, one is born again. The world is freshly known. After the formal session the mind is still and steady, and any thought can be effortlessly held without distraction, without rushing, without any kind of anxiety at all. Every action becomes more conscious and in time, effortless. The happiness is the great peace that comes from the prolonged stillness of both mind and body. Thinking is clear, from the inside out because one can see the way of things and then energy just naturally flows to transmitting that in whatever form that takes ... words or physical labour.

Meditation is a great gift to humanity. The view and instructions are codified by Patanjali, existing in his original language, and if one does not know Sanskrit then there are translations and commentary, some of it inspired. He gives the map of the view but one needs a human to bring it to life, to make it real in all the details, the grime and sorrow of daily life. Like you, I recommend that everyone find a proper instructor to learn a personal technique for formal seated meditation* according to their proclivities, for benefits that enhance living.

* because of the stillness, the body can't micro-move for balance enough to stand.

Is it Bhutan or Nepal, that base their main emphasis (from the political motivation) on their people's happiness - and that is surveyed regularly!?

Totally agree with it. People I see around me that are so driven for money, materialist things appear to be jealous types and bloody miserable on the whole.

I honestly don't understand these people that want to live in a mansions! Y? ..loads of toilets and bedrooms for nobody! Get the vacuum cleaner out etc..,morons

I agree. People don't know they are 'happy' until they are experiencing real misery.

[Maia]

Yes, definitely. Happiness is a state of mind, like any other.

“Never trust a man who says he is concerned about men”. “There is no body, why bother with astral body?”

I cannot be happy because I've never been unhappy.


Anything you do to get out of the trap of thought which you yourself have created is only strengthing and fortifying it.

I hate nothing about U

You're trying to create a thoughtless state using thoughts.

Just another saleman.

THIS IS NOT FOR SALE.


Does this attitude assume someone is miserable? NO, it does not. But only if you think so, you'd need to fall into your own trap of thoughtfree awareness to be able say yes, and the irony is astounding.


Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform.
In other words... YOU MUST BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME....YOU MUST BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME...YOU MUST BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME. ....if you do not conform, you must be LOST and confused and living in misery, you miserable fuck...get on the right path now, the path to happiness...what are you waiting for, happiness is your true nature, don't you know, and I should know, because I just know, ok...I said so, so there.

Everyone, now singalong with the getalong gang...are you ready now...1 2 3 ...Oh I'm a happy little bunny, a happy little bunny, I'm a happy little bunny, I'm just such a happy happy happy clappy clappy, joy joy joy bunnykins, my life is perfect every day... now that I belong to the happiness CULT...


And never forget to be happy ok my happy little bunnies...

Now repeat after me....
YOU MUST BE HAPPY...YOU MUST BE HAPPY....YOU MUST BE HAPPY.... one more time...YOU MUST BE HAPPY...because I say so, and if you do not listen to me...then you must be a bitter and twisted miserable suicidal materialistic doomed human being....and it's all your fault, because you didn't listen to me, you refused to understand my words....that YOU MUST BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME...HAPPINESS IS YOUR NATURAL STATE....reject, reject, reject, reject....your dark side, trash it, get rid of it, it's bad its bad, its so ugly and bad, it's nasty nasty nasty and vile, it's evil incarnate...reject it at once, it's not who you are....YOU ARE ONLY HAPPINESS...ONLY HAPPINESS....

OMG...please, ffs, get real.

And this is the same guy...who advised me to spend LESS time on this philosophy site, but to spend more time in meditation, else I would not be able to fully comprehend or understand Roy's ( Theory of Enlightenment )

Even though, I willingly and graciously accepted the invitation with open arms to read the theory. When he PM'd me about it. The theory was offered up to me to read by Roy himself which I was made aware of through the PM

I then did something I do not ususally do, I gave Roy my email address so he could send the document onto me, for my perusal.

After a few days, I contacted Roy saying I had read the theory and praised it with all my heart, saying how brilliant I thought is was. In the sense, I fully comprehended and understood what the theory was pointing to.

Having praised his efforts to write this theory...fully understanding it....I was then adviced by Roy, to spend less time at this philosophy site...as though he was trying to tell me, until I was able to spend all my time in mediation away from this forum, I would not be able to GET IT... even though I already do 'get it'

What a phoney palava... People like this just need to be called out for their weirdy-ness.

In a sense, one is born again.

Why bother being born again, into a body that you are just going to reject, again. ..see the problem, no body, no you.

What did the skeleton say when another skeleton told a lie? A: You can't fool me, I can see right through you!

Q: Why did the skeleton cross the road? A: To get to the Body

Q: Why was the skeleton sad? A: Because he had No Body to play with.

OMG...you fancy shmancy pansy do-goody do gooders are so confused as to what the real nature of reality is.

All do-gooders feel 'high' when they do good.

Be a good leaf and fall. Make like a leaf, and leave.
