Do You Understand Happiness?

Do You Understand Happiness?

As I read the current literature presented from so many get rich quick, or prosperity teachers, they present the idea that having more money, the perfect relationship, the dream job, a bigger house, newer car, fancier vacations are the pinnacle of happiness. These are false teachings. It is good to be prosperous but is this the source of happiness? Take a look at many wealth celebrities or other rich and famous people in our society. Are they truly happy?

I don’t think we understand happiness too well. If you see Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey or any other wealthy person as an example of happiness, you are missing the value right in your own heart and mind. You have access to as much happiness as you can imagine in your own Self.

There truly isn’t a way or path to happiness. Happiness is the way or the path. Relative happiness or favorable conditions are helpful but not the causes of happiness. Happiness is the cause. Conditions are the effects, or by-products of happiness. When chasing the effects the cause of happiness will escape us! We need favor conditions in daily life, but without a strong connection to the source of happiness within us, the outter conditions are empty, and feel unfulfilling.

There is a series by noted spiritual teacher, Jack Kornfield, called Wise Heart which addresses this subject with elegance and clarity.

The Wise Heart (6 CDs), Jack Kornfield shares an important message that you have within you an unlimited capacity for extraordinary love, for joy, happiness, for communion with life, and for unshakable freedom-and here is how to awaken it.

On The Wise Heart, celebrated author and psychologist Jack Kornfield offers an accessible, comprehensive, and illuminating guide to the universal teachings of Buddhist psychology. He shows you how to use powerful Buddhist insights and practices to go beyond the trap of “self-improvement”-and find in your own life the path to unconditional fulfillment and happiness…

You need to be reminded of this message about real happiness often because the world around you is full of deluded messages that you are not good enough, or that without this or that product something is missing in your life. These messages are rubbish. You have the connection to the source of happiness, joy and love within you. Keep listening to those who honor that part of you which is wonderful, good, positive and joyful.

As a spiritual teacher, I encourage you to listen to this series On The Wise Heart many times over until the cloud of non-sense of the advertising, and media delusions wash away from your being, leaving just your clear mind and good heart shining brightly.

To your happiness and joy,

Christopher Lee May
