It’s official: money can buy you happiness

Need I say the article linked above reads shallow and silly?

Attempt to escape unhappiness is covered OVER with substitutes for Happiness. When the medications/magic wears off the unhappiness rises to awareness. One can look within and know the nature of unhappiness OR one can call on external power, conditions and substitutes to suppress or deny it by masking its symptoms. Collectively we tend to turn a blind eye to anything that threatens to undermine our personal mask/defence - not least by making the messenger/symptoms 'evil' and thus deny the cause in our 'war on symptoms'.

As for the moneylender in the Template - have you not woke up to the cartel that rises from inserted and captured regulatory 'protections' that generate and protect not the supply and trading of the Goods of life - but the private agenda of a power 'class' who define their happiness as being specially superior and in control or dominion over the 'mass' of a humanity worthy only of coercive control at best and cynical exploitation or collateral sacrifice at worst.

However, in the same purpose as Jesus, I invite using the reflection in the world (privately owned central bank creating debt based money as and when it serves their private agenda - or indeed other similar, such as big pharma and the military/notional security cartels) to illuminate the same patterning within our own consciousness and consequently in our cultural values, and vocabularies of exchange and communication.

Investment of identity within the world of change can only be fearful. True happiness is 'upstream' to external conditions in which the external condition AND the 'internal subject' arise together from mistaking an image or form of reality for the Real Thing.

Already making love

An article suggesting casual sex will make us happier


Our capacity for defenceless open innocent loving oneness is innate but tends to be lost to the mechanism of guilt, fear and hiding. A masked maze.

One can make fantasy associations and act them out as if they are true... for a while.

Two or more can mutually reinforce fantasy associations and make them seem more real - aka society.

Fantasy can reflect a war with 'truth' by asserting itself on others or at the expense of others - but it can also serve the reintegration of a unified consciousness.

Externally derived 'connections' and dependencies become the stuff of power-games, dependencies and addiction or dysfunctional breakdown of communication.

Find and be found in a true Foundation. Live from the resonance and relevance of your core being. Don't expect confusion to lead anywhere worth travelling. Instead let Real relating become the context in which confusion is undone.

Real or honest relating is in a sense "already making love"; receiving and giving as fully participant in what is already here in our Living Now.

If one presumes to push the River, a kind of 'eddy' seems to go off on in a mind spin until is dissolves. But it is a fantasy self -  a blind self - no matter how real its fearful compulsions are disguised.
You can align with your innate happiness or you can attempt to coerce a false substitute - but a substitute is merely a facade.

Guilt substitutes for a truly innocent perception but the undoing of guilt is not the act of the belief one need escape or overcome it - rather through the recognition and owning of one's own in a fresh willingness to truly share life rather than force it to serve your wish or will.

Happiness is the Gift of Being

Telegraph article: Eating your greens will not make you happy, finds Government-backed study

Children allowed to eat sweets and watch television in moderation score higher for “well-being” than those not allowed to at all, study funded by Department of Health concludes

Happiness as reported by children is not happiness as observed and felt in children - who are learning to develop an inner persona as a means of self-becoming, and an outer persona as a means of self-protection.

Happiness is innate. That which embodies it, extends its qualities. The substitute of external stimulations is a kind of 'prison food' and effects a sense of disconnection from the movement of one's very being. A loss or covering over of a natural intimacy within.

Data collection via disembodied mentality within the attempt to control - COULD be carried out happily - but true happiness not only knows its joy - it is open to and part of the joy of others.

Happiness is generally sacrificed - our young are sacrificed - to a loveless god. Call it the 'real world' if you want, but it is an agreement to look anywhere but on love's desecration and therefore NOT feel the urgent inner need to realign oneself to a deep and genuine self-honesty and thus step free of fearful division.

The persona, once negatively aligned in segregated sense of self, works against its own happiness by seeking a self-protective control. The abundant sparkle and vitality of youth is spent in self-defeating struggle. However happiness remains our innate condition and leaks out or bleeds through its prison in so many ways, and much in our life is felt as a pleasure or a good - but is seen ONLY in the world of conditions and not recognized within. Thus we fear losing even what we have and cannot really enjoy.

It takes one to know one. The self you look out from is the world you perceive and share. But no one else decides the choice you make. Decide to be happy by not using the mentality of unhappiness as if it will get or bring you something you feel denied or deprived of. Rest through the shite to find and be found in a wholeness of being. If YOU want. There's no other reason to be happy than YOU want to have and to hold and to share... what you are. In your own inherently unique way.

Coercion distorts and blocks happiness. True happiness is free from coercive intent.

If 'studies' had to be reported by real journalists who are paid and allowed to research the information that is fed into newsfeed sources, they could check on the funding.
Scientists are not paid and allowed to do the science of their innate curiosity, so much as the science that supports the technologism behind the vested interests of very powerful lobbies.

Whatever may be found to be 'good for you' may not be found good when it is coercively applied - regardless how disguised the 'incentives' might be in doublespeak.

Free will remains the principle of communication and relationship that science cannot study because it models a mechanism in place of a relationship. The idea that mechanism can replace relationship is being developed to ever new degrees of absurdity. Control over is not the same as finding harmony within. Lip-service to the good has no conviction if it is not also freely happy and thus communicates a demand for conformity to externals - at the expense of one's true feelings.

The redefinition of happiness as a momentary escape from a presumed normal un-happiness is the hollow basis of addictive compulsions. Sober clear appreciation of existence remains available despite propaganda in our thinking or as bombarded by media and pervasive conditioned society. This is happiness in a way that is also peaceful and discerning - because it is within a felt sense of the presence of the moment as it flows - rather than the moment plundered and rendered fleeting.

This is to say that most are living in a virtual world of their own thinking, that is largely invisible to them and therefore invites being manipulated by social pressures as well as corporate and political private agendas.

Do we repeat and share on information without a process of discernment as to what we are strengthening in ourselves and propagating in society? The Media certainly seem to!
But if we accept mechanistic models in place of our own participatory presence, we operate through the filters of presumed truths that simply are not true.

I have a sense that those trying to maintain deadness need and want dead food and dead media so as to suppress awareness of hollowness and self-conflicting dissonance. Living food supports a subtler and more inclusive communication at all levels of our being. But one cannot raise the dead, so much as serve in reflecting the Life in them - thus waking them to the meaninglessness from which they are free to walk if they so desire.

Psychological (sic) FELT well being expresses itself in behaviours that reinforce itself - as does a sense of inadequacy, lack, invalidity, sickness, unworthiness and lovelessness. Such is the nature of physical existence in reinforcing and reflecting our thought, feeling and self-definition.

The state of being comes first - even within its behaviours - for the Creative pervades its creations - even if it is a false or mistaken premise. Humankind tends to disown and hide Consciousness - like a banker hides toxic debt. There are toxins at all levels of our world now - including our food - but also in our thought. And there are vested interests whose blinkered agenda actively promotes life-negative outcomes for populations and for our planet for the sake of squeezing a bit more of a cash and power high out of the living to feed those who chose to be dead to their true relation.

Happiness

Happiness at its root is a core function of being - of our being.
Happiness always expands and gives permission for being - but tends to then be associated with the forms of the situation or event.
Egocentricity, is the sense of identifying with the persona and its mental chatter - which runs like a virtual layer of interpretive imaginations on top of what actually is simply present. It is conditionally happy - that is it defines itself such as to define happiness in specific conditions and by defining it negatively as unhappy conditions. This conditioning of nurture and nature - is founded on a sense of there being something fundamentally lacking, invalid or wrong with our self. This is a psychic divorce from our true nature upon which we construct a mask or persona - and attempt to make it valid, solid, respectable, powerful or loved. No supply of which actually satisfies more than momentarily - such that unhappiness is defined as the 'standard' where each seeks there consolations or distractions of choice from a dissonance of being that does not go away but must be kept at bay.
This is of course a crude and general sketch - but those who have opened within also recognize the territory, even if they have become more aware of the basis out from which they live.
Happiness paradoxically comes from giving it away or releasing the desire to get it. Abiding with and through boredom, doubt and discomfort is the releasing of the surface mentality that is not generally directly connected to anything real - being a mentality of conditioned reaction that believes itself free.
Freedom - to be what you are is happy - or rather the full acceptance of what is actually present always connects to a quality of being that is free of unhappiness. It also re-establishes a perspective for choosing or discerning that aligns with your joy.
Yet to wake from the dream of a life that is trying to become something in its own right - one has to become aware of the definitions that actively create our experience of any given situation - including the opportunities that are present within it.
Decide to be happy and then everything that arises can be used to serve your decision. Disappointment is the result of appointed expectations being unmet - and so one uses it to own the thoughts and feelings.
Most do not want responsibility of mind and so choose to protect unconsciousness by giving power to external agencies to supply them with substitutes or justifications.
Guilt or blame - self invalidation - is the undermining of well being. It is easy to see in act - and releasing it a Gift of Life to oneself and others. The attempt to coerce and control via guilt is never going to result in happiness, because self-betrayal is a poison that can only be healed by 'going straight', and honouring yourself and others with honesty of being. There is apparently no market to exploit in such wisdom apart from writing books perhaps - and so it has no relevance to a 'marketized and weaponized society'.
For fear can be spread in ways that 'create' dis-ease which then can be sold 'protection'. There is a global trillion dollar market for this and it has our definition of profit and value - running cancerous with a parasitic intent that has corrupted our body politic. Happiness is the antidote. True and free and joyful happiness as our ordinary now.

Happiness Is?

True happiness is allowed by not letting the activity of thinking block the flow of a shared sense of life.

Happiness is innate to a direct experience of Being - a present directly felt living appreciation.

Humanly we associate external conditions with a conditional sense of our self - a learned sense of self - and this becomes a set of demands that traps the mind until it awakens to the 'currently running program' and reevaluates its own premise from a fresh perspective. This can never arise from manipulating data based on the old program, though of course such rebranding or reshuffle of the same old basis - can seem to buy a management solution - such as attempting to be rationally 'happy' within a fundamental unhappiness. But unhappiness is a hurt or pain of dissonant life and leaks out into every area of our lives. It becomes the WHITE ELEPHANT LIE that (almost) everyone normalises to invisibility. True happiness then becomes anathema to the mind that is intent on managing its unhappiness successfully.(Which associates happiness with a its control and security rather than as a direct emanation of being).

The learned sense of self can be temporarily happy if its conditions are met - except it will then shift to new expectations. So it is easily provable as to where happiness is not really found to anyone willing and honest enough to test out their own life.
Abiding happiness is an expression of a deeper honesty and acceptance. This doesn't come about without some process of recognising and releasing what 'does not work - and can not work'. And such process is necessarily conscious - not something that can be applied or achieved through any kind of manipulation.

But, we can learn to promote the conditions that serve such learning and awareness - and to unsubscribe or withdraw support from the conditions that undermine true happiness.

In terms of governmental considerations of happiness, we would do well to reevaluate the true economy - not in order to please economists - but one that accounts for our shared commonwealth of resources and abilities and talents - and the time available to appreciate and enjoy our way of life and work.

Of all the steps that I could summarize simply, there needs to be a valuing and honouring of the micro economy. And the seemingly unstoppable or ungovernable demands of the macro economy need to be checked. Corporate dominance asset strips everything and kills its own host if not held in check by law.

The personal scale economy - the actual community of interrelatedness that has been increasing undermined and controlled as mere consumers or workers - is the seedbed of our lives and the nets of regulation and interference need to have wide enough mesh so as not to deny people the opportunity to live out of their own inspiration and shared worth.

It isn't big society - but a community based approach - where communities are actual relationships of individual and collective trust embodied and not mere database-able subsets of information to be mouthed about or manipulated as if they were 'things'.

It must be painfully apparent to governors, that when the happy candy is withdrawn and the stick is used to keep the governed from making too much trouble, that they can do so legitimately only on the basis of serving the greater trust of the governed.

To be willing to happily pass through pain, we need to trust the purpose and the process by which we allow a deeper happiness to share from a true basis. That process is in us as individual members of a larger community - and cannot come from Government - but those in Government needs to nurture and discern the will for true happiness as their own support.

Manipulating minds has become a sophisticated art - but its practice arises only from a mind that is already attempting to manipulate itself. That is essentially fearful, and driven by an unhappiness of dissonance which it seeks to overcome EXTERNALLY. True Happiness is not living out from such a mind because it has felt the dissonance and resolved it where it actually is - and sees the world as the field of relations in which to express a fundamental harmony of life rather than as a resource to plunder for-getting its self.

Focussing on the difficult makes fear the master, but to share the experience of the easy, grows the courage to move through fear. But only they can share or inspire who are inspired to share life rather than manipulate it.

Governors or leasers can learn to provide role modes of willingness that do not use tricks to hide or score but risk allowing their true presence of intent to communicate itself - while in office - and become known for better or worse for what they demonstrate.
The ego liability of a false self sense is in all of us. The blame game is manipulative nonsense. We learn through making mistakes but not by gorging on blame ridden analysis - which but perpetuates the underlying mindset that gives rise to mistaken self interest.

Honesty is the extension of trust and without trust - we are nothing.
