HOW TO BE HAPPY: Creating From the NOW
As mentioned in yesterday’s post the road to happiness is directly linked to authenticity. Your authentic self is your soul.
During a channeling session in the past the Guides said that everyone’s life purpose is the same. It is to remember who you are.
So who are you? Who am I?
Some say we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. While this sounds comforting, is it real? What does it mean?
There are no good answers to any of this. One day I believe we are infinite spiritual beings, souls, living in a body on earth, experiencing a physical life.
At other times, depending on what I have been doing just before, I believe I am finite. My physical self is all there is.
If nothing more than to be happy, it is important to see life in a spiritual context. So the next step in How to Be Happy is to believe that you are a spiritual being having a physical experience.
The universe is more than we understand. Each day physicists and other types of scientists learn more about the quantum field, about telepathic communication, and that what we knew before is obsolete.
So if nothing less, we have to admit that what we think we know, will be expanded upon as scientists continue to study the nature of the universe, physical and magnetic systems.
There is a mystery to everything. There is always more. We will never know everything. So why not just assume in the end, everything is good, benign and happy? Why not believe we are spiritual beings having a physical experience?
So if the secret to happiness is to believe in a benign universe, how can we believe this, when everything we want is not in our life?
Ha! Now THAT is the question.
Ancient mystics would say the more you realize you are a part of everything, that you embody the energy of that which you want already, the state of Nirvana will arrive. In this state, you will want for nothing for you have become everything.
When we attempt to apply the Law of Attraction we attempt to know we embody the vibration of the thing we desire already within us. We use affirmations, creative visualization and other manifesting tools to bring this “thing” we want into our vibration before it has arrived on the physical plane.
However, the very nature of being human embeds within itself the feeling of not having what you want, of being separate from it. So there lies the conundrum.
How to be happy when you do not have what you want?
I have a little secret for you. Just as we will never know the universe completely because there is always something more to learn about it, we will never have everything we want.
The nature of the physical plane is to expand, to always become more. Therefore, you will never be happy if you are waiting to have everything you think you need to be happy.
Once you have what you think you want, you will want something more, and more, and more, until you become so unhappy in not being able to capture that illusive butterfly of happiness, you get deathly depressed.
Happiness has NOTHING to do with having things!
It has to do with knowing you are complete right now in this second. You do not have another second in which to attract happiness. Happiness is NOW.
Aha! So we finally have arrived. Happiness is knowing that all you ever can have is now, there is no tomorrow, no past, nor any future.
When you can arrive at this conclusion, not just intellectually, but as a feeling, you will start to glean what happiness is and start to emanate it in every moment.
Being content with the now is happiness.
Here is some channeling on this subject from The Ones.
Dear Spiritual Guides, do you have anything to add to this concept, that being happy has to do with finding completion in the now?
The idea of happiness is a long time in coming. Some on earth think it is impossible to be happy while still on earth. Some of us in spirit world believe this to be the case.
You see as humans you are not inclined to be happy. To be happy would mean that you would not strive to do anything, so “not being happy” is an important ingredient to evolution.
We encourage you to not be happy for a time so you can strive to bring into your life that which you desire to create.
One of the major purposes of spiritual evolution is to teach you to be happy by creating something for yourself.
Creation is the secret to happiness, not staying in the now. The now is needed to find happiness, the happiness of creating reality.
Reality is co-created with universal mind through absolute acceptance of what is in the now then challenging this concept by embedding in it the idea of creation.
When you are happy in the now then and only then can you create.
You see you cannot create if you are unhappy. You can only align with universal mind when you are happy.
So entering the now where you want nothing is the ideal place to create something, actually anything, you might desire.
Yes, this might sound like a conundrum, however it is the truth.
When you arrive at the now, you will feel content. It is in this state of knowing that you are all, that you are everything, that then you can create anything.
We will give you a little exercise to get to this state.
Ask yourself right now what you want for today? Really think about it.
Find the one thing that if you had it your heart would sing, and skip a beat. We will be silent for a moment while you think of this thing.
****
Good. Now think of how you would bring it to yourself.
If you found you had no way to bring it to yourself, this is excellent for this is the stepping stone to the next step.
Now in believing you do not have that which you want, you can now create it this way.
Ask your heart, yes literally place your mind’s attention on the heart area of your physical form. Ask your heart how to bring this condition into your life.
Sit and wait for a feeling or idea. Good.
This is the first step to creating that which you desire. To ask your higher self, which resides in the heart chakra or your feeling self. This is the seat of the soul.
When you want to create something, touch base with your feeling nature which resides on the left side of your chest embedded in the heart area.
So to be happy then means to follow your heart in the now. Do not intellectualize about how you will get this or that. Think of what you want then allow your heart to show you how to create it with emotion.
Emotion is the way to feel happy. Following your heart is the way to feel happy.
