Reality and Happiness
10 of March 2010
People will often focus on the outside world looking for something that will make them happy. The truth is that all the outside world is merely an illusion created by us. It has also already happened, therefore they is no chance of seeking happiness within it.
That is right, the entire world we see before us is the past. It is a creation of our past thoughts, never our present ones. Our mind loves to exist here, so it tosses this world up at us, like it somehow actually matters on the grand scheme of things.
So am I saying we should ignore this creation? Certainly not, just understand the value of it. See it for what is really is. The manifestation of previous thinking. With that in mind you have a different view of things.
Happiness will always be found from within. You cannot find it in any person, place or thing. However you can share that happiness with someone else if they are a match to your vibrations. If they are not, you will find discomfort in the realtionship. If you really want to find happiness it is found inside, no where else.
