Our natural state is bliss, ecstasy beyond duality. Since we're in a 'duality machine' to further compress ourselves as we re-integrate our many aspects, we're subject to the Swing of the Pendulum.
What swings one way also goes back the other direction. Most of what we deem "happiness" and sadness or depression are conditioned states that are created, which we "ride" by our own choice. For example, the person who is watching the "shopping channels", addicted to buying things, gets a momentary "charge" of what feels good, upon making a purchase. Does it last? No.
After getting the item, it may or may not be used!
To get that high again, another round of shopping is needed. This has to do with our neurons and inner wiring. Ultimately, the superficial programming that runs just about everywhere around us, keeps us locked in loops of getting more, better and different, with all the combinations of the three imaginable.
Until one stops fully and looks within for the source of happiness, realizes that material acquisitions bring only a temporary fix, which can morph into an obsession and a rise in the stock market, we continue like everyone else in the matrix. There needs to be a kind of "dark night or moment of the soul", in which one's Higher Self guides us to see in a moment of clarity.
A realization hits that we're going in the wrong direction. A change is needed. That often propels some into churches, research, meditation, experimentation with ayahuasca or other mind expanding substances, etc. Once on that path, a deepening sense of vast, new realms of spirit, knowledge and wisdom are possible.
Once we magnetize our essence (inner child) towards self-discovery, it's like a positive addiction! For me, I couldn't learn enough fast enough. I am compelled to seek-find, absorb and incorporate, then move on. During my spiritual investigations, it's been increasingly clear that a separate Observer is needed, which is impartial and neutral. We create that Observer when we separate it from our bodies, and just "watch" and observe ourselves, without judgment.
That Observer begins to see the subtle patterns that lead to this "up and down merry-go-round" that keeps us off balance and seeking for something "out there". As the shift moves to "in here", the less the out there has significance. Today, I look at the DRAMAS or Dream-as that obsess our collective and turn away from the "Hooks". For instance, NESARA: a financial RESET is coming...FREE ENERGY is on the way, etc. Don't hold your breath.
The PTB don't let ANYTHING happen over time, that they don't want to happen. That doesn't mean it's foolish to attempt it; some are called to do so. But with anything connected to the "System", the Matrix, the Banks, the BIS, Global Settlement Accounts, IMF, ad nausea, the game is RIGGED. If one can work within the system WITHOUT being ATTACHED to the outcome, then that's a different energy. "Let the dead bury the dead."
But the idea that we're all going to be rich soon, debts forgiven, etc., even if it is TRUE, is an addiction that is designed to ensnare the subtle energy of consciousness, awakening, and use it to attach humans more deeply into the maze. This is why money, assets, wealth, gold, jewels, property, etc., are all snares for consciousness. The MultiVerse supplies everything in abundance. Magnetize it and it is. True happiness/joy/bliss comes from connection to living hearts, spirits and not to dead paper symbols, covered with spells.
We live in an earthly maze. What truly brings JOY, which can be a more consistent emotion, are those things which move us at the level of HEART. Love of our friend, family, "pets", etc. Love of the blade of grass below one's feet...love of everything and all that is... this is a kind of subtle positive emotion that can be evoked anywhere at any moment, by being fully present to the sentience in all things. If you want to try an experiment, do this: Go out and hug a tree today!
