Happiness is in the Present

The Mind is Not Free to be Happy... Happiness is in the Present

In order to experience happiness, we will need to learn live in the present without the pain, bitterness, anger or guilt of the past or the anxiety or fear concerning the future. If we examine our unpleasant emotions we will discover that they are 95 % based on the past of future.

All of our pain, bitterness, anger, shame and guilt have to do with memories – even if those memories are about yesterday or this morning. If our memory was erased, we would not have any of those emotions. We have experienced them because we are allowing something that we are remembering (consciously or subconsciously) to stimulate those feelings. Without a past, there can be no pain, anger or guilt.

Anxiety and fear are about what might or might not happen in future, even if the future is one hour from now. The present does not have such emotions.

There is no other reality than the present. We cannot go to store to buy something yesterday. Nor can we go now to buy something tomorrow. We cannot act in the past or in the future. We can only act in the present. Only in the present can we make decisions or respond to events or challenges.

Only in the present can we exercise free will to change our lives. The only point of power to create our lives is the present. There never was a time that was not NOW. There is no other time.

When our mind is preoccupied with the past or present, we lose the joy and creativity of the present. We have less energy and clarity with which to make decisions and to perform our tasks. If we feel that we have less power in the present, it is because it is being lost in the past and future.

In order to enjoy the present, we will need to reconcile with the past and feel safe about the future. We have already discussed this to some degree in some of my other posts. We need to realize that the past was a perfect stimulus for our evolutionary process and forgive others and ourselves for all that happen. We need to move into the future feeling totally safe that we live in a loving universe and that we are much stronger than we could ever imagine.

Living in the present is enhanced by focusing on the stimuli in the present such as our breath, our energy, our senses and our consciousness. We can learn to cultivate our ability to be witnesses of our breath, energy, senses, thoughts and emotions and experiences. This state of awareness allows our consciousness to experience a degree of detachment from our thoughts and feelings so that we can experience the peace and bliss that are behind and beyond the mind.

Our senses are another point of reference in the present. When our senses are stimulated we usually temporarily let go of focusing consciously on the past and future. The subconscious of course will still be preoccupied with the past and future, until it is healed of this tendency.

Creativity is another way to experience the present. Although our minds can wander at times when creating, usually such activities engage our mind in the present as we enjoy the creative process. Creativity also leads to states of inspiration that bring excitement and happiness.

Another anchor to the present is the awareness of our energy body. We can focus of the energy in and around our bodies while is a state of relaxation, so that even while moving we are aware of that energy. Being aware of the energy in and around our body allows us to be in the present, but it also is a window to pure consciousness, which is behind and beyond our mind.

As we begin to access our pure consciousness, which is awareness without an object of awareness we begin to feel peace in the present. Our consciousness is pure, immutable and blissful. It is the basis of happiness without any external cause. In this present moment of awareness of our inner bliss lies our true lasting happiness. All other forms of happiness are temporary and fragile because they are dependent on external factors, which are constantly changing and, which in general, we cannot control.

Consciousness is our essence and is always in state of peace and bliss but is usually masked by disturbances of the mind. That peace exists even when there is disturbance in the mind just as the white light behind the film of the projector remains white and formless no matter what is appearing on the screen. The mind will need to be silenced in order to experience that peace.

Thus in order to experience a steady form of happiness, we will need to let go of the past and future and develop awareness of the present and of ourselves as consciousness rather than as bodies and minds.

We will also want to experience the present as it is and not distorted by our beliefs, fears, emotions and prejudices. In general we do not see what is but rather what we believe is. Our beliefs distort our perception of reality and interpret it in subjective ways dependent on our subconscious conclusions based on our previous experiences. Our beliefs limit the beauty of the present with these subjective interpretations.

If we want to experience the joyful divinity of every present moment we will need to let go of those beliefs that limit and distort it. One basic 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 cause us to fear and develop defense mechanisms that seriously obstruct our happiness.

We will need to free ourselves from the control of these emotions cause by our defense mechanisms, which develop into addictions that auto-repeat themselves. When we are lost in our emotions, we are unable to experience our present environment. Some people can create an inner chaos, even in the most pleasant external surroundings. We can have many people who love and care for us, but feel deeply unhappy because one particular person we believe we “need to love us” does not. By setting this particular condition which if it is not fulfilled, we refuse to feel happiness, even if we are loved and accepted by everyone else, except this person we have singled out as our only source of our happiness. Many of our emotions distance us from our happiness. We will never find the answer to these emotions solely with logic.

Another trap is to base our happiness on something that will happen in the future, which means that we are waiting for something to happen so that we can be happy. The idea that “I will finally be happy when ..........” is an illusion, because that happiness will last only a certain length of time. It is like traveling to a place for our vacation where we are expecting to be happy and not allowing ourselves to enjoy the scenery or be happy until we get there. So we think, “when I have that spouse, that child, that job, that house, lose that weight, have more money, etc. I will be happy.” But our happiness remains in the future.

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. Otherwise we will live in fear, pain, disappointment, anger and guilt until we begin to believe in and eventually experience all of these within us. 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.

Loving ourselves and others is a basic prerequisite for happiness. Some fear loving because the of the mistaken belief that love leads to disappointment, hurt, suppression, abandonment and other painful experiences. The truth is that love has never ever been the cause of pain. The cause of pain in those situations is expectations or attachments and the need to have love or attention or approval form the other.

May we all learn to love unconditionally without expecting anything at all. It is the most effective way to experience happiness. In this way we enjoy loving while not needing anything external or 
from the other and it is then we will find true and lasting happiness. …… Love and Light Christina

Acts of Kindness

Acts of Kindness begin in the heart and thus kindness has been known to soften hearts, lift spirits and it helps mold our relationship to others. The value of our best life is not measured by the material possessions we've acquired, but by the hearts we've touched, because who we are is far more important than what we have. The gift of kindness reveals to us that everything we do affects not only our own life, but touches other lives, too. When we put some kindness into the world, we'll like what the world gives back. Small acts of kindness have created many ripples and have probably done more good for the world than all the religious zeal, eloquent words or education of the masses combined.

Kindness may be simple like saying “please,” “thank you,” “excuse me,” or “I’m sorry.” It may be offering a helping hand, patiently waiting your turn, returning a phone call or favor, or even cheerfully responding with a smile. Kindness is also characterized by being generous with your time, money, resources and a willingness to help. “Kindness,” as the Greek philosopher Sophocles said, “gives birth to kindness.” It is, as American writer/philosopher Mark Twain notes, “The language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

The virtue of kindness is part of a growing process. We don't just get up one morning and say, "Beginning today, I'm going to be kind." Even the best intentions fail if we rely on our own strength. The Bible calls kindness a fruit of the Spirit, because it cannot be grown effectively without the Spirit's continuing work of love in our lives.

We feel a deep sense of satisfaction in showing unconditional kindness to another, for kindness is as much a gift of conscience as it is of one’s time or words. I believe there are three kinds of gifts: the gift of material resources, the gift of helping people rely on themselves, and the gift of non-fear. Perhaps the greatest gift in a troubled world is that of helping people not to be destroyed by fear caused by social injustice, oppression, exploitation, lack, violence, or loss of dignity.

When we engage in the many forms of kindness, we are bound to feel gratitude for life. Our gratitude will mirror a courteous and reverent approach to make life better: for our self, others, and Earth. Our gratitude may also reflect our attempts at living modestly and with humility: causing no unnecessary harm and living simply so that others may simply live. One of the easiest ways to be kind is to consider the qualities of character that make us a friend to others, a guest wherever we may be or travel, and a host to those who meet our acquaintance and come to our home.

By showing courtesy as a friend, guest and host to others and to nature itself, we are also extending our gratitude for their existence. Such gratitude is like a hummingbird enjoying the nectar without bruising the flower.

Kindness and gratitude is a well of sustenance worth visiting each day. The nectar of kindness is a sanctuary for the heart, a refuge for peace of mind and peace given to others, no matter how large or small the gift. Contemplate these words of Mother Teresa: “We cannot do great things; we can only do small things with a great amount of love.”

Blessings dear friends and thank you for your kindness, Christina

The Pain of Loneliness and the Pleasure of Love

The Pain of Loneliness and the Pleasure of Love

It is obvious that we need to experience love, it is the experience of who we really are. When we do not, we suffer, we feel lonely, cut off emotional and energy-wise form others and life. This is why we fear rejection as much as we fear death. Feeling alone can feel like death itself. We are not connected with others and life. We believe that if we are not accepted by others, we will be alone and that seems insufferable to us. If we examine the reasons people commit suicide, we will find that they were feeling lonely. Regardless of whether those around them did love them, they were unable to experience that love connection.

There is a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Some of us have had the experience where we might have hundreds of people who love and admire us and yet we feel lonely. Another can be living alone in a cave and feel united with all of humanity and all of creation. Thus loneliness has nothing to do with how many people are around us, but has to do with our ability to feel our connection to them. It does not matter whether those we connect to are physically near us, far away or even passed on into the spiritual realms. We feel our connection with them wherever they might be.

Many of us simply lost the ability to know and express what we really feel and this becomes a major obstacle in our exchange of love. When cut off from our feelings, we are also cutting others off from important parts of our being. Some of us simply do not know what we really feel, and we often confront the others with the wrong emotions, which confuse and create unnecessary conflicts. When we do not receive the love we need, or are afraid to accept love because we have identified being loved with some danger, we choose to not feel that connection, no matter how much others might love or respect us. In such cases we might seek to fill that emptiness by other means such as overeating, drinking alcohol, drugs, over working, accumulating wealth or fortunes, being over focused on sensual pleasures or activities. We might even loose ourselves in serving others with the hope that they will love us.

The emptiness of being alone is unbearable because it is actually the opposite of the truth. Our emotional states are affected by the degree to which we ourselves think and act in harmony with inner selves and ultimate destiny. Loneliness is painful, because it is in fact a separation from our true inner self. Anger is painful because it is the opposite of who we are. Fear is painful and disseminating because it is a negation of who we really are. Loneliness, anger and fear are born of the illusion that we are separate from and vulnerable to others and life itself. It is wise that we experience these emotions as unpleasant, because that gives us the motivation to move out of those states towards unity. This is also why we feel so good when we feel love, unity, peace, accepted and safe.

Human nature is programmed to feel separation as painful and unity as pleasant. This wisely creates the stage for our evolution and movement towards a more loving reality. Our inner emptiness is caused by our lack of contact with our inner higher nature and true self. We long for our true nature which is ultimately divine. Our true self is the one universal consciousness which is also the true self of all other beings and of all creation. We will never solve the problem of our emptiness until we reunite with our true divine self.

The truth is, most of us do not get all of our needs fulfilled by our partner, nor do we fulfill these needs for our partners. All of the problems in our relationships are caused by our need to take rather than to give. When we are attached to and need the others to be as we need them to be in order to feel safe, worthy and free, then we are more frequently hurt and angry. Love has nothing to do what the other can offer us. Our unhappiness in relationships comes from our attachments, needs and expectations and not because we “love” the other.

Often we are also ready to make various alterations in ourselves and our lives with the hope that others will love us more. We suppress feelings, needs and activities with the hope they will accept us. We try to do things we hope will cause them to need us and perhaps love us. We spend time, money and energy altering our appearance with the hope we will be more attractive to others. We fetter over our weight less so for health reasons than out of concern about how we appear to others. We seek to amass money and material objects believing that others will want to be with us for those reasons. Each of us seeks ways to be attractive, desired and hopefully loved by others.

The problem is that we seldom obtain the love we need in these ways. Others subconsciously perceive our selfishness motives and frequently do not respond in the ways we need in order to feel loved. We then feel even more pain, because after doing so much to be loved, we are not getting what we need. We will not solve the problem by seeking to get others to love us. For those of us who have not yet become aware of an inner source of security, satisfaction, self-worth, love and purpose, facing loneliness is similar to facing death. Without a relationship with our self or with the divine, there is no life, no source, no happiness, no security, no purpose for living without others.

Even when our partner’s consciousness leaves the body, we suffer because of our needs not our love. We can continue loving others even when they do are not physically present, just as we can love someone who is living elsewhere on the planet. The problem with the absence of the others physical presence is not that we cannot love, but that we cannot touch, hold, hug and receive from them. They do not need our love now, because now that they are free from the illusion of separateness, they are now experiencing the totality of their being.

The process of self-discovery requires work or even struggle to deal with these attachments needs and fears. However, it can be a rewarding process as we can remain simply a curious observer in this process, with a knowing we are totally connected to our being right now, as we always have been. The only thing we’ve really lost is the awareness of our connection. As we expand and become more aware, what happens? We find that we need less and less from the outer world and other people. We realize that security, love and joy are innate qualities of being. They can’t be lost, only forgotten. So the highest project we can devote our self to is self-discovery. In the end, loneliness will seem like a phantom, something barely remembered. Yet even today, if we start to discover who we really are, every moment will be the opposite of lonely. Instead we will be absorbed in the essence of life, and nothing is more fascinating.

Christ encouraged us to love others as we love ourselves. He did not say, love others and not yourselves or love yourselves and not others. The reality is that we can love, accept, understand and forgive others only to the degree that we love, accept, understand and forgive ourselves. The opposite is also true. We can have as much understanding and love towards ourselves as we do towards others. These are interdependent.

May we all learn to be happy with or without a partner and even when our partner is not giving us what we need or want. Once we have learned these lessons, we will very likely have all we need from a partner, because we do not need any more opportunities to learn such lessons. The lesson is to love ourselves and the other unconditionally. …….Love and light Christina

The Mark of Guilt

Guilt affects us all, whether it is justified or not. ... It has always seemed that a fear of judgment is the mark of guilt and the burden of insecurity. Dwelling in guilt is like living your life with an anchor tied to your ankles dragging you down. Learning to accept the things that we perceive as wrong can be a difficult task for many of us. Often we have been brought up to accept that it is normal to feel guilty about our actions and that by doing so we will make everything seem alright within ourselves. Even though we might feel that we have a reason to make up for the choices we have made, it is much more important for us to learn how to deal with them in a healthy and positive way, such as through forgiveness and understanding.

When we can look back at our past and really assess what has happened, we begin to realize that there are many dimensions to our actions. While feeling guilty might assuage our feelings at first, it is really only a short-term solution. It is all too ironic that being hard on ourselves is the easy way out. If we truly are able to gaze upon our lives through the lens of compassion, however, we will be able to see that there is much more to what we do and have done than we realize. Perhaps we were simply trying to protect ourselves or others and did the best we could at the time, or maybe we thought we had no other recourse and chose a solution in the heat of the moment. Once we can understand that dwelling in our negative feelings will only make us feel worse, we will come to recognize that it is really only through forgiving ourselves that we can transform our feelings and truly heal any resentment we have about our past.

Giving ourselves permission to feel at peace with our past actions is one of the most positive steps we can take toward living a life free from regrets, disappointments, and guilt. The more we are able to remind ourselves that the true path to a peaceful mind and heart is through acceptance of every part of our lives and actions, the more harmony and inner joy we will experience in all aspects of our lives. ….. love and light Christina

“Creating Our Best Life” ....7/7

“Creating Our Best Life”

I thought I would write a few articles on this topic and this is the seventh and last of this series.

Creating our best life requires that we cultivate a highly refined life force energy field within us and around us; a field that carries the spiritual dimensions of our life within it. As we develop internal awareness we can be assured that that we can become and act as a radiant beacon of light for ourselves and our world.

The deepest wounds of separation are healed at this level of consciousness; reminding us that nothing about our character, our relationships and our life is written in stone. We can create new realities for our self, realities that serve us better, that are easier and make us happier. By directing and creating circumstances that bring us to the awareness of truth, love and healing. How we implement all these attributes and qualities in our life and relationships is always our choice. We can make it fun and creative, or serious or challenging, but the task of reconciliation is ours alone to do.

There are aspects of the Divine presence living within us that carry the power of reconciliation healing and grace for our lives. When we awaken and are living the path of spirit we can see how we have been guided through many circumstances, and many people, to take the next step on our path with a spiritual consciousness of our life, and the circumstances and choices others made as well. At this point we are open to receive direct guidance from the angelic realm, the Christ Light and the Holy Spirit and the mystery of life unfolds before us as we follow a path of light, wonder and mystery. Living our life in this way we are building and containing all the life force energy we need to live a conscious, happy and intentional life; a life whereby we understand that it is sustained by our indelible link to God as Source. It is the link to spirit through our prayers, petitions, visions and hopes at the level that we know all that we need is provided for us and that we are blessed in endless ways that fulfill our best life.

The qualities of living with Divine Presence are: Bliss, Beauty and Serenity

Bliss

This is the highest state of spiritual consciousness we can achieve and still remain in our body. It is the blessing of the Christ Light and the Holy Spirit and it creates the space within us where we live in the grace of God. In this space we know at the heart of all things, that all is well regardless of how they seem to appear. We no longer become hooked into the dramas and enmeshments that create frustration and anger. We fully accept life as a miracle. This state is often called enlightenment as we have a direct experience of who we are. It is a perfect state of peace, acceptance and compassion. We have no craving, anger, desire or fear in this state…..that is the stuff of the external, and has replaced by the experience of complete oneness with all of life. Bliss is the inner space where we are untouched by the mundane and still carry out our daily tasks. We live our lives in the moment and respond with love rather than reactivity when we are challenged. As we being to acknowledge and live the higher purpose our lives, we begin to walk the path of destiny. In this state we cultivate love, compassion and truth and we are not only co-creating our best life, we are doing so in a reality of wholeness.

Beauty

Beauty is intrinsic to our being; it is the shining light of our soul emanating through us into the world around us. It is a quality that comes from God when we live our deepest connection with life; we are beautiful regardless of what the external manifestation appear to be. It couples the warmth of spirit with the qualities of love, peace and serenity. Beauty is a reflection of our soul… simply a clear reflection of who we are. It is never a well-made, cold object, but is something that is permeated with spirit. It is an experience of grace manifesting in form. It contains within it a feeling, a vision or an object made with love and potential in our abilities to create and the potential of all around us. To the ancients’ beauty was considered to be a virtue enabling people to forget, momentarily, their mundane existence and see the higher good and reflection of God. Beauty is a metaphor for the inner truth of our being.

Serenity

Serenity brings such delight and happiness in our lives. This is a state of quietness that combines the joy of harmony and the peace of tranquility. It is an inner place that reflects our highest truths, deep abiding love for the self and compassion and love for others. It implies absolute acceptance what is. It has a fragrance of its own that is a rare perfume that calms our senses and assuages our appetites. Serenity is a spiritual quality and a goal worth cultivating in the disquiet of our busy lives. It holds the world steady, and keeps our tasks proportional to our capabilities when creating our best life. It is never reactive or overbearing; it is a state of mind that soothes, heals and sustains. Choosing a path of serenity as a lifestyle requires a willingness to embrace the highest truth that everything is in perfect order, and God is working in everything, even the chaos we see in the world. It is possible to remain in a serine state when we reflect on the Divine presence and know we are carried in love by the great spiritual forces of creation. We need simply to ease down and relax in self-acceptance and non-judgment. It is a way of saying yes to life, yes to the moment, yes to how it feels, saying yes with gratitude and love.

May we all choose and affirm the power of the Holy Spirit working in our life and as we evolve into mature spiritual beings may we experience how God illuminates and transposes our lives to higher ground with each challenge we face, each act of love we offer, and each moment we are aware. May we unite our consciousness with God as we embody the Christ Light allowing this light to strengthen our body, affirm our worth, and honor our choices for creating our best life. In choosing this light, we honor the light in everyone we meet and may the collective light of all humanity radiate into the world.

It is my hope that this series of writings has in some way transformed any limiting understanding of reality into an expanded awareness of how spirit works within each of us and I hope that they make your world richer and your life happier. I hope that they have given each of us the opportunity to look deeply into the truth of our being, know our thoughts, strengths and weaknesses and our purpose so we can indeed create the life we desire.

I hope you found the attributes for creating our best life supportive in moving through what is dank and old, and unloving in our consciousness and to enlighten us to the nature of compassion, love and healing, transforming what has been perhaps previously outside of the realms of reconciliation. Take whatever resonates with you from these writings and make them your own. Thank you for taking the time to read them and for sharing them with your friends and love ones.
