Looking For Happiness

The real thing.

First, we have to know what happiness is. Is it a temporary or permanent state? 

Our view of happiness is cock-eyed. A temporary state is exciting but it does not last; it isn’t happiness, it’s a dopamine rush to which we’ve become addicted. This is what sends humanity round in circles of madness, led by the nose for the next fix.

But what of the permanent state? 

It’s not what we think; it is the realisation of ever-present pure being. It’s not a happiness that is commonly recognised as we’re so used to ‘interesting’ happiness which is associated with conditions such as family, job, hobbies and general chit-chat. These are all pass-times to wile away our life.

Pure being is pure consciousness.
It’s unshakeable confidence.
That is happiness.
