The Least Effort to Happiness is to Dance with the Universe

We only need follow Nature’s example of ease and harmony. Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love. If we but observe, we can learn to harness these forces of harmony, joy, and love to create success and good fortune with this same effortless ease using our conscious awareness.

It’s is easier to develop awareness of the present and of ourselves as consciousness rather than as separate bodies and minds. If we want to experience the joyful divinity of every present moment we will need to let go of any beliefs that limit and distort it. The biggest obstacle to that experience is the illusory feeling of separateness created by our senses when in fact we are one spirit, one energy, and even one matter. This feeling of being separate from others and the forces around us causes us to fear and develop defense mechanisms that seriously obstruct our happiness.

When we are lost in our emotions, we are unable to experience our present environment. By setting any particular conditions which if they are not fulfilled; we are refusing to feel happiness. Many of our emotions can distance us from our happiness and we will never find the answer to these emotions solely with logic.

The truth is that lasting happiness will be achieved only when the mind itself has let go of its need to find external sources of safety, self-worth, freedom or fulfillment, or happiness. When we feel safe within ourselves and love ourselves, we will be much happier and much more pleasant to be with. In reality we will find happiness when the mind is transcended and we experience the peace and that bliss that are beyond the mind.

Following the law of least effort, as nature teaches us, we will learn to accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. We will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. Our acceptance of what is becomes total and complete as it is in the moment, not as we wish they were.

Accepting things and others as they are, we can learn to take responsibility for all of our experiences and even for all those we see as problems. Our responsibility is our response-ability. Taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for our situation, for our feelings, for the attachment or the expected outcome we have (and this includes our self). Every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows us to take each experience in each present moment and transform it into a greater benefit.

Using our awareness we can relinquish the need to defend our point of view, and we will feel no need to persuade others to accept our point of view. Instead we allow others to be who they are and we remain open to all points of view and not become rigidly attached to any one of them.

Within detachment lays the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lays the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, is the field of all possibilities, a place where we can surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

Committing our self to detachment will allow our self and those around us the freedom to be as they are and not rigidly impose our ideas of how things should be; not forcing solutions on problems, which sometimes even creates new problems; instead we participate in everything with detached involvement.

Factoring in uncertainty in any of our situations as an essential ingredient of our experiences and coupled with our willingness to accept uncertainty often creates surprising solutions that spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure we will feel, because uncertainty is our path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, we will find our security.

May we create happy and joyful lives and may we allow others to be themselves as we step into the field of all possibilities. May we participate in the excitement that can occur when we remain an observer, open to the infinity of choices. May we step into the field of all possibilities, and fully experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life …. Love and light, Christina
