What are the answers? 

So many of you are seeking and wanting and asking and questioning, but where are the answers? Is there an answer? What do you want to know? Most of you want to know how “all this” turns out. You want to read the last pages of the book to know that it turns out as you have hoped. You want to know that you get what you want. Do you really know what you want? More importantly, do you know what you need? What is it you are seeking?  Do you have clarity about that or do you just have a wish list of things or desires? 

You all seem to want money, big houses, cars and things. There is nothing wrong with that except will those “things” make you happy or content? Happiness does not come from outside sources or things or possessions. It comes from contentment within. Think of the last time you felt truly happy. What caused this sense of happiness? Was it someone else or something you acquired? More than likely your answer is “Yes.”

 How long did this “happiness” last? Do you still have it? Is it still in your possession? If it was a thing or object, does it continue to instill in you the original joy and contentment or are you now seeking something else to “make” you happy? If it was a person, has that person continued to make you happy in EVERY interaction? Does your happiness lie in their hands? Are they in control of your happiness? If they are or if the things are then you will never find true joy because it will always be out of your control. 

A person can be taken from you in many ways, just as things can be taken or discarded or destroyed. If you have true happiness it lies within you. It is created by your will; it is yours truly to keep. Joy is a state of being within yourself. You can be joyful in the middle of great tragedy. You can experience the joy and happiness even as you experience the grief and loss, for in order to have this sadness there must have been great joy attached to the thing you are losing. 

Try to remember this as you are losing this person or thing. Remember the happiness and joy and delight they or it has brought you. Revel in the experiences of bliss you shared. This does not make the loss any easier, but it does serve as a reminder that joy is possible. Also try to remember that your total happiness and joy were not tied only to this person or object, but rather to many other people and objects. The reason this is true is that if you experience your own internal happiness, then you share that happiness with everything in your life, not just the designated people and items and possessions. 

So what is the answer? 

It lies within you. Rejoice in God or whomever you believe is the larger force in your life. Rejoice in the magnificence of your soul and your essence. 

Rejoice in life.

Rejoice in joy. 

We leave in ecstasy and love.

Namaste
