Happiness

Billions of years — frame by frame they are stored in your vishudha, all the sounds you have heard — in your anahata (you can enter the chakra and listen, look), everything you have tasted on your tongue — in your muladhara, etc. So the task is to take responsibility: “I will overcome everything, I can do everything. It is worth any effort. I want to.”

For the state and feeling of happiness to be powerful and invulnerable, you need to build your inner world, to bring it to the ideal. Even if some evil or stupid person says something that can hurt you, shake your faith — you are invulnerable. When you have proper strength — you laugh if a person tries to hurt you. He thinks he is so strong and smart, and you do not even have an inner predisposition to take offense, to tremble with fear.

To make your inner world invulnerable (“I am building my temple, and it must be protected”, “Any revolution is worth something if it knows how to defend itself”), build yourself up inside — faith, love, etc.). This should be independent of the outside world.

What can give a person inside himself this feeling of strength and happiness? The first is everything you think about yourself, your attitude to yourself, whether you love yourself or not, whether you respect yourself or not, what you want in this life, what you think you are worthy of.

If a person thinks he is a loser, then all gates are closed for him (even if someone comes to him, chews him up and puts it in his mouth, he will spit it out because he doesn’t believe it is possible). If a person is self-confident, he breaks away from people, remains alone and falls very quickly, no matter what peak he climbed to. The attitude towards oneself should be a huge faith (“I will overcome everything, I can do anything”) and a realistic view of everything: to know clearly one’s strength, weaknesses, what results are possible and necessary for one’s own system to be completed.

The first attitude is what is in a person: respect, dignity, love, all that is good. The second is self-management, which is the ability to use what one has. It happens that a person is beautiful, but does not know how to manage himself, keep calm, etc. The third is the elimination of all suffering or purification of one’s consciousness.

Searching for happiness outwardly

The main thing is knowledge, beliefs, what a person believes in. Everything that people believe in can be categorized: this makes a person rejoice, this makes a person suffer, and then there are details, various logical errors. It is necessary to learn to feel it, to create vivid images in pictures.

Life is a unique opportunity for development, self-realization, for a mass of everything interesting that is for a human being. But here we need to understand why it is possible. For many people there is no way out. For them, life is a cage, and they have a lot of reasons that explain why they are “in a cage”.

Why do people suffer? They think that the world is bad, unfair, imperfect. In some ways we can agree — it is not perfect yet, but the world is developing anyway, and only 100 years ago there was no electricity, there was not much of what you see now. And a few thousand years ago there were no clothes, we slept in caves. The world develops and lives according to its own laws.

When a person approaches the world with his ruler: “I want chickens to roast and money to grow on trees,” it does not grow. For a person to enjoy this life, to achieve something, he must stop approaching everything with his ruler.

One should set a goal — to understand how everything in this world happens (whether he likes it or not), and in this case the world can become a unique opportunity.

To achieve happiness, the task of each person is to understand this world, its laws, and to take his place in the world for each of the basic purposes.

The world around us is half of all sources of joy, pleasure, happiness. The world does good things for a person, it can give a person something if a person is ready, looks for it, appreciates it, invests effort, if he is determined not to miss the right moment. In that case, he has the opportunity to receive the prize. When a person is ready, he gets it; when he is not ready, he does not get it.

This world never gives man more than he deserves. A man can get less, because resources are limited, but he cannot get more. He has already received quite a lot — he got the right to be born, he has a body, he has Patrons, etc. Huge abilities are inherent in him, and it depends on the person whether he will use them or not.

The first is attitude. You can look at this world and shudder, or you can love it, and thank God every day for life, for the opportunity to communicate with people who are close to you, for the fact that the new day has taught you so many lessons.

If you learn from life, there are millions of opportunities to thank God, and such gratitude is not a lot. Or you can swear from morning till night that everything is not satisfactory. You have to love this world with all your heart — God created it.

There are Forces of the Subtle World — they are responsible for something, and if you do not respect something in this world, it is a public insult in the Subtle World of the corresponding Forces. They will not insult you, they will just put a stamp on you and you will be hurt. If you respect everything that is in the world, do not scold it — you are right.

What cannot be cured must be endured. In order to cure our country, it is necessary for society to change — people must change, the worldview, the spiritual must take precedence over the material. Representatives of the forces of Light must learn to negotiate, to find a common language, the basis for unification — common values, ideas. Until the light Forces unite, the society will be like this. If you want to contribute to the development of society, you should first try to build some model, a cell in your collective, to establish relationships, to remove tension, to achieve harmony, unity, respect. Love towards yourself personally — it is important to feel good inside. It is important for society to have organizations where a person feels like a human being, where he or she is loved and respected, and has the same sincere desire.

The second is right behavior and right effort. Life is an opportunity, so you have to take advantage of it, you have to do something. And you have to do it right. Doing it right means you get prizes (everything you need to achieve your goals), doing it wrong means you don’t. It is much more difficult to manage your own destiny than a firm. It’s something you have to learn. One of the challenges of life is to increase your status, to learn how to manage the process (to evaluate people, to unite).

The third direction is solving problems and freeing the person from everything that limits him in this life.

Chapter 3. Attitude

Self-belief

To be happy, besides knowledge, you need to be able to do a lot of things. The point is simple. Most people speak in the same way, they have a familiar emotional state: disbelief, stuckness, someone is happier or sadder, slower or faster. There are so many states. And you have to look for the most different states for yourself.

One of the components is to be able to speak properly. What does it mean to speak properly? There must be evaluation criteria, some way of giving feedback. What will mean that you are doing it right? The indicator will be different feelings. You need to speak correctly to get the strongest states (to feel joy and happiness), so that the words correspond to the attitude they deserve. In what will the attitude be manifested? In the emotions, in the intonations, in the energy that is born within you. Consciousness is a multitude of chakras, each chakra is responsible for its own issues. And each word corresponds to one or more chakras. If you pronounce something correctly, it means that energy is born in that chakra.

We begin to explore the inner sources, and the first is the attitude toward ourselves. The attitude towards oneself is initially manifested in thoughts — what you think about yourself (“I am a jackal” or “I am an immortal, indestructible Soul”). Based on what you believe, what you think about, what words you utter, words, being filled with energy, turn into emotions (automatic reactions) or into efforts of will, when you consciously put efforts to fill words with effective meaning (“I make fire”, “I say goodbye to suffering”).

You say what you want to say, and that sets off the mechanisms within you. If you believe in something, it lives in your subconsciousness and consciousness and works constantly. For example, fear — a person is afraid of a dog, and in the subconsciousness there is tension and fear. The more fears a person has accumulated, the more tense he is. He gets scared, looks around, trembles.

What is an attitude? There is a controlling part of your consciousness, it makes certain decisions, determines where you are going to go, what you are building inside yourself, what you are eliminating. Your controlling part evaluates, makes decisions and as a result triggers energies, affecting all other parts of your consciousness (chakras, subtle bodies, physical body). Depending on what you are tuning yourself to (even if nothing is happening, you are not thinking about anything, but you already have certain thoughts in your mind), your Soul will sing or suffer deeply.

Principle of Action. If you believe in good, and your consciousness directs good and light energies to yourself, your Soul awakens and sings. It awakens its inner forces, dormant abilities, qualities. If you direct bad, dark thoughts, dark energy at yourself (“nothing will come out of me, life is unfair, there is no way out”, “everyone is bad, but I am good, white and fluffy”), then your Soul suffers.

You need to define your attitude to yourself. What it consists of, what is most important, what you need to search for and cultivate in yourself in order to make a decision: “I want to believe in this, I want to realize it. And for the future — to absorb everything that corresponds to this. Determine the light — what we are looking for, and the dark — what we need to get rid of.

Three categories can be distinguished with respect to self-belief. The first is self-belief. Its main purpose is whether you have the right to happiness. Belief in yourself contains many points, and in the end the conclusion is whether you have the right to happiness (if you have the philosophical and theoretical basis for it), or whether you are destined to be unhappy (like Dad and Mom or the slaves of South Africa).

If you have the right to happiness, your future is fine, if not, it gets worse and worse every day. In childhood it was good, mom took care of everything, but the older a person gets, the more problems appear. How does a person feel about it? Belief in oneself determines the connection with the future.

A person’s self-esteem is important, but it is a consequence. If you don’t believe you are worthy of good things for various reasons, your self-esteem will be low anyway. Belief in yourself determines whether you can change something in yourself and your life, whether you can come to any goal.

Belief in yourself defines your potential and future — the good you have, the good you can build on, the good you can unlock. Faith assumes that the future is better than what you have now (otherwise, why would you have faith?).

A Christian believes that if he lives rightly, he will go to heaven. A person following the esoteric Path of Development realizes: “My destiny is in my hands”. “If I do everything right in this life, here and now, then every next year will take me higher, I will go upwards. And if I make it in time, I will have the opportunity to choose my next destiny while still in this life”.

By accomplishing some karmic tasks, one can get the right to communicate with the gods, to get the next destiny in this life. Some yogis know (after they die) where and when, in which country they will be born. The potential is within you.

What gives faith? If a person believes that he can, it is the power to go forward, to overcome obstacles, to achieve goals — fire in the heart, the eyes shine.

A person without faith — eyes dimmed, faith he has lost. If a person does not believe, he will not even take a step, or he will, but only to break down at the first obstacle and say: “I knew I would never succeed”. He acts depending on how his thought structures, his behavior, his subconscious mechanisms are arranged to confirm: “You were right, it won’t work out”. Believing in the good means seeking it, and everything that is against it is removed. Believing in yourself makes it possible to go to your goals, awakening maximum energy

The second is methods. For example, a company works: the boss can yell at people, but can appreciate, respect, motivate, and bring out all the good things. These are the methods of management. In the inner world, the basis for management is attitude, belief. These are the basis for setting goals that are available to you — whether you can achieve power, happiness, perfection, whether you can catch the firebird or not.

Attitude is how you go about your life, whether you love yourself, whether you respect yourself. Methods — how you treat yourself: whether you allow swearing in your address, what you call yourself, whether you take care of yourself, whether you are attentive to your Soul. And the rest is the result.

There is faith, a goal (what I can achieve), a method (how I go to that goal), and a sense of self (what to look for, what to build, what to cultivate in myself to make happiness grow).

If there is no faith, everything else falls apart. If there is faith, but the method of achieving the goal is violence, high and bright states will remain an illusion. If faith and goal are light, and the attitude is positive, corresponding to light methods, then opportunities and results will follow. If the first or the second is removed, the rest is unattainable. These three components are necessary, they are all logically interconnected.

The third is your Soul. If you do not believe in yourself, if you think that there is nothing good in you, if you stigmatize yourself as a loser, a bad person, what happens to your Soul? It curls up into a tube. You beat it with your thoughts, emotions, you throw away the opportunities that every person has. And it hurts. She cannot help you, she will suffer. When you say, “I believe I have this”, you have potential. Imagine a green bud, you turn a ray of light to it, “I need you, I believe in you, wake up”, and it wakes up. And if you say, “I don’t believe that I have abilities, feelings, strength”, you are putting a black, fat cross on yourself.

The task is to form a huge faith in yourself: “I will overcome everything, I will be able to do everything. I will reach the goal. I am an immortal Soul”. To have faith like a flame in your heart. To make it invulnerable, you need answers to a lot of questions — how to protect your faith. Can you become smarter, happier or not? If there is no faith, it is impossible to achieve the goal.

What do you want to believe in? Whether you are a body to be eaten by worms, whether you are an immortal, indestructible, joyful, light in nature Soul, you are a son or daughter of God. Or have you not yet decided what you want to believe? Do you want to believe that you are just an ordinary human being or you are an immortal Soul? Belief in your Divine nature implies that you are capable of, and by and large, must reveal your full potential to yourself.

Changes within yourself and changes in your life are possible. He who walks the road will walk the road. To get something, a person must believe in it. When he believes, he does not consider everything that is against it, he does not waste time on foolishness, on going back many times, doubting, digesting these thoughts. He has made up his mind and he goes. And the faster he goes, the more interesting things happen in his life. While he doubts — he stands. The task is to form such ideas that allow us to make decisions quickly, so that life is rich and interesting.

Reflection assignment:

Imagine that you are alone in the temple. God sees and hears everything. You have realized that you have a Soul and that it is incredibly valuable to you. You turn to it, tell it why you need it and what you want to get rid of so that your Soul sings. Do you have enough words for 1 minute, or do you run out of words after 10 seconds? The challenge is to learn to say what you feel, trusting your heart so that feelings give you thoughts.

Writing Assignment:

Topic 1: Did you realize, happiness is what?

Topic 2: You realized that you were chasing ghosts instead of going to happiness. Remorse.

Training (for 2 roles):

1. One man suffers, says he is missing, why he is missing. You are playing a role — the Savior of Souls. Every person sometimes finds himself in a situation when he feels that he is losing something important, considers himself unhappy. There is always a way out. What can you tell him? For example, not to jump from the fifth floor?

2. One is the aggressor, attacking (“there is no happiness”). You — make arguments to defend what you believe in and value. For example: “Either you respect my spiritual values or you and I are saying goodbye.”

Chapter 4. Managing Yourself

Self-control

On the one hand, happiness is simple. If a person has a lot of good things inside (love, faith, lofty aspirations), it all lives and intensifies, and problems do not interfere, then he gets a state of joy (if the source is not very strong) or happiness (if these sources are large). And the task is to identify those sources that give a person happiness and joy and to understand what, how and why we do it.

Half of the sources are internal, half are external. The internal ones we have considered are the attitude to oneself, whether a person believes in himself, what he thinks about himself (he is an immortal Soul or a mistake of nature). Thoughts determine how a man feels. They either depress him or, on the contrary, reveal him, ignite him. These thoughts can be categorized: belief in yourself, attitude towards yourself and attitude towards what you are building.

The first thing is whether a person has fire in his heart (good or bad attitude towards himself). Even when nothing happens, if a person believes that he is unworthy, has a bad attitude towards himself, he sends dark thoughts, dark energies, destroys himself.

If he believes that he is an immortal Soul, that God has put a huge potential in him, his task is to reveal this potential: “Everything that I do not have time for in this life, I will continue in the next one”.

Then the Soul of a person begins to open up, to revive, because it was told: “I need everything that you have in you. I believe in you. I want to reveal you.” And when you say, “I’m not worthy of anything. Nothing will come out of me,” she begins to curl up and the further she goes, the more she suffers.

Attitude is that good thing which gives the moral right to move forward, toward a beautiful goal, if one believes, “I am an immortal Soul. I can improve myself.” Methods — with love or by using violence. Love, respect, joy — give a person a positive attitude, a good perspective.

What follows is governance. The state in which a person lives should be determined by his choice, his will. If this is not the case, then a person’s state is determined by a mass of accidents (if you look at him obliquely, he gets angry; if you give him a compliment, he blossoms).

If a person does not set the goal of learning to manage himself, he gives the reins of power (what will happen in his inner world) to the outside world, to people who in many cases do not care about him, or to those who want to do something bad to him, to use him in any way.

Taking care of your inner world is your personal task, not the people around you. No one will spend many hours a week trying to do something with your Soul. This is the task of the person himself.

A person can only set a goal himself — to come to perfection, to purify his consciousness, to reveal everything that is in him, to get rid of all problems, to manifest all the best. Nobody is able to solve this task for him. He will not want and will not be able to solve it, because everything depends on the person himself, on his will. The control is inside him. The first thing is whether the fire is lit inside or not. The second is how we build ourselves, what logical steps we go through.

What is self-management? Every person has something good and something bad inside: there are spiritual values (faith, love, respect to some extent), there are also shortcomings (resentments, weaknesses, disappointments), there are some sources of energy, very different. Self-management implies that you set a goal: “I want this state,” and you know how to turn on everything you need.

You awaken to life such qualities in the spiritual plane, in the energetic plane — such sources of energy. Self-management is the subjugation of your inner world, the ability to influence your inner world in such a way that everything happens there exactly as you need it to happen, not as it happens by itself.

In order to be able to control yourself, there are many conditions, and the first one is that you need to know what you have inside. If you don’t know what you have inside (it seems to be there, but it doesn’t work), it is the same as a car standing in the garage, and you don’t know that you can drive it, so it just stands there, rusting.

You need to know, perceive, feel what you have (if chakra — where this chakra is located). You need to learn how to turn on and off all these sources both spiritually and energetically. And eventually, to put them into a certain mode, to customize them: how much of this quality you need, how much of that quality you need, everything that you don’t need — to turn off, everything that you need — to awaken to life.

There are many methods, and step by step we will familiarize ourselves with them.

In general, three big basic stages a person goes through in his development to arrive at the strongest states of strength, happiness, and pleasure. They may overlap a little, but in general the logic looks like this.
