Bliss is not even happiness. Bliss is more like peace than like happiness. Bliss is neither unhappiness nor happiness; it is peace from that turmoil, that conflict. It is the transcendence of duality. Happiness always lingers with unhappiness; unhappiness is always it’s other side, happiness. They are two sides of the same coin. Whenever the coin drops from your hand, you are neither happy or unhappy. What we call happiness is psychological. Whenever you find a certain moment of elation your ego is fulfilled, you feel happy but only for the time being, because your ego is fulfilled. You have defeated all other competitors, you have arrived; where others have failed, you have succeeded; or you have much money, power, prestige, fame. But soon one becomes tired of it all. Only successful people know how tiring success is. Only rich people know how utterly disappointed they are but they cannot even say so, because to say so seems to be even more foolish, people will laugh. They have wasted their whole lives accumulating wealth and now they say that it is stupid. The ego does not want to do that; the ego wants to go on keeping the illusion.
Seeing this game of happiness and unhappiness, the watcher, the mediator becomes unidentified with both. When happiness comes, he knows unhappiness will be coming , so why get excited? When unhappiness comes, he is not at all disturbed because he knows happiness will be coming just around the corner, so why become disturbed? He is neither excited by happiness nor disturbed by unhappiness. This is peace. He remains the same, in a deep equilibrium; his silence is undisturbed. Day comes and goes, night comes and goes, everything comes and goes. He remains a witness, unconcerned, cool. That coolness, that discernment is peace.
Whenever ego is fulfilled, you feel happy; however, bliss is not happiness but a totally different phenomenon. It is not plea sure because it is not physiological. It is not happiness because there is no ego fulfillment. On the contrary, it is dissolution of the ego, it is dissolving your separate entity into the whole. That’s what meditation is all about, merging, melting into the whole, totally forgetting that you are separate, remembering your unity with the whole. All that is needed is a remembrance; all that is needed is dropping this false notion that we are separate. In those rare moments when you can put aside your ego, your personality, your body, mind complex, and you are just a watcher, a witness, a consciousness, you know the first taste of meditation. And with that, immediately great bliss comes, it rushes toward you from all directions, from all dimensions. All your inner emptiness is immediately fulfilled. It becomes a lake of bliss. ❤️

That is very true. Seeking means desiring and you cannot seek something that is unknown but going within your own core of being. ☮️☯️☀️🌈🌺🙏
Hi Rob I’m glad you disagreed just a bit 😅. I don’t think you are fearless most of your life because you would be in a more acceptance state. Now there’s bravery and there’s fear. We are always brave when we are by ourselves but when real situations come in, that’s when fear shows up. Hence, you found fears. Booomm 🤯🤯🤯🤣🤣🤣😎🙏
Dropped the 🎙 , what’s done is done 😎🤣😂🤣😂. I’m hoping you would be screaming n kicking my reply with your philosophy all rolled up in your hurricane encyclopedia 😂😂😂💨💨💨
i can def say i FELT fearless most of my life... you may want to call that brave... but i'm not sure it was that either... i can say that i've never had a fear of death... or that maybe i was hoping death would find me... i def am NOT afraid of death... only of HOW i might die.
if you want to make the argument that i simply repressed my fear - that - i might believe without argument.
but i do really think that for most of my life i wasn't afraid of most things. and i'm sure i repressed fear of the few things i'm fearful of now....
truth is - most of the "dangerous" things i've done - i would do again even now. risk can be calculated, and mitigated; and reduced so as to make those things as safe as can be. and another thing - most of the "dangerous" things i've done - are safer than driving a car... so it's really about perception. so i think i look at things most think of as fearful - and i say... that's not fear!!! you wanna know TRUE fear??? be inside my head - then you'll know fear!!!! LMAO
so most that stuff in world... not as scary as in my head!!
Ok Rob, I’m eating lunch and here’s my rebuttal to you 😈😈😈
Fear and brave are two sides of the same coin, always exist together; that’s when fearlessness is key. You said you embraced death fearlessly but intimidated by how you might die. From this statement alone, I see you let your emotions interfere; instead of understanding death, you become trembling by how death would come. If you truly accept death in awareness, you will surrender to whatsoever the “how”. If the road to death is painful with mental anguish then people have a choice without prolonging the pain; hence euthanasia is freedom but that will be another topic 😅. So here’s the twist, whenever you feel fear, you will understand that life is momentary with tremendous opportunities to live life and death totally, passionately, intensely without second guess what your heart truly desires. There’s the difference between taking risks and living recklessly which judgment comes in and it should come from your inner feeling of bliss. I don’t think I’m fearful of what goes inside your head because any man who is 💯 sane is death and I see you are alive, screaming, kicking, and chasing your own tail around town.... 🤣😂🤣😂.
I think you are right. Last week I developed the usual symptoms of spring allergies and called for an appointment with the doctor who has treated me for the last five years. His receptionist refused me an appointment because my symptoms were to much like Covid. She said the doctor would call me. But he never did even though I called daily. In a second conversation with the receptionist I became adamant that I was being ignored. Still the doctor has not called. I think I have been ghosted. I find this all very alarming. I don't think I have Covid but I am afraid I been marginalized and ostracized. It is very anxiety provoking. Has me feeling very paranoid More concerned about human behavior than the actual virus although I am careful to wear a mask and social distance.
that story is horrific! and inexcusable behavior from what's supposed to be a professional!!!! at the very least they should do a video call or just a voice call. there's NO excuse for marginalizing someone like that!
and worse still - i agree with you (that's not the worse part ) - i think this behavior has not only become the norm - but it seems to have become acceptable!!!! i don't see anyone screaming about how bad this stuff is - except for places like this!!!!
the world is going to spit. and it's going to spit - because the PEOPLE are going to spit. behavior that should be SHUNNED - is applauded by half the country!!!! it's absolutely insane!
you are most certainly not alone - not in your feeling of being ostracized; not in your anger or dismay; and certainly not in disbelief.... i'm with you on ALL of those!
Poor Mike. Didn't see it coming.
