You Are Happiness

What stops happiness is a constant desire for that which you perceive that you do not have, that which you think you are not, and that which you believe that you do not do. The problem with the ego is that it does not stay focused. One day it wants one thing and the next day it wants another. But by the third day it still unconsciously wants what it did not get the first two days. Thus the ego builds an enormous hunger that seemingly can never be satisfied. This dissatisfaction makes the ego feel like an angry deprived victim, a failure. Then to control its painful deprivation, the ego tries to not want anything. The result of this suppression is that the ego then tries to stop others from getting what they want. This brings on war in all of its forms, and the ego marches on, right but empty. When the ego is deprived and angry, criminal behavior is born.

What can be done about this universal human dilemma? You have to use your imagination differently. You imagined deprivation, now you have to imagine fulfillment. Out of imagination arise both the physical and spiritual universes. First, the spiritual and then the physical. The ego does not know the difference. The ego must be born again. The ego is not deprived, not a failure, not a victim. The ego is just blinded by the mis-use of your all powerful imagination. Your ego forgot that imagination created the physical universe in the first place. When the ego is re-born, it awakens to the Kingdom of God. It remembers that you already are and have everything in your spiritual universe. You can then claim and enjoy that wholeness and fullness within, right now. You do not have to wait for materialization and manifestation. You are no longer in want. The Lord is my shepherd, I am not in want. When you no longer want, your desires come true. Because your desires are already fulfilled in your spiritual universe, they start to show up in your physical universe. Criminality and war are not necessary. Forgiveness becomes a possibility. You are not deprived. What you want is the Infinite Good and that is your inheritance. The Infinite Good is yours right now. Just be aware. You are happiness.

I am appreciative to Jorj Elprehzleinn for some of these insights.
