Transparency and Happiness and Meaning

Being transparent within yourself will enhance and strengthen your own happiness. Being transparent within your relationships will help you spread happiness.

It is essential that you try to be transparent within yourself. You cannot hide from yourself forever. You make mistakes just as well as the next person. (I make mistakes just as surely as you do.)

The remainder of the text for this post is immediately after this video pane:

To try to deceive yourself about those mistakes is foolish. Even if you succeed in repressing those mistakes, they will find you out in such things as anxiety or even lower back pain.

To repress feelings caused by hidden mistakes is like stuffing a plastic garbage bag. You can stuff and stuff but eventually the bag will become too full and burst. When it does burst, you will have garbage all over yourself.

The most important place where it is not a good idea to be opaque is in your relationship is with The All There Is (Tathis). As you make contact with and develop a connection between yourself and Tathis, where you find your meaning, which is to be happy, when you try to keep mistakes from Tathis, you mess up that connection.

(Tathis is a word I coined to remove as much baggage as possible from the term “God.” It is a combination of the first letter of The, the first letter of All, the first two letters of There, and the entire word Is. It is pronounced with a long “a” and the te word “this.” I hope you can see that Tathis is a non-baggage participant here.)

In your kinship with Tathis you need to be as transparent as you can be. This is for your own sake, not for the sake of Tathis. Tathis “knows” all there is to know about you anyway. So hiding yourself in any form from Tathis is counterproductive. You cut yourself off.

Notice please that “you cut yourself off.” Tathis is always there, living in the background so to speak, waiting for you to remove your own self-imposed barrier to Tathis. It is you who have distanced yourself from Tathis.

When you go seeking happiness and meaning, you make a connection with Tathis. This linkage is strengthened and expanded over time through the meditative arts. In some form of prayer and or meditation, which suits you, you reinforce this kinship with Tathis on a regular basis.

In that meditation you find that you are completely accepted. Which means that you can be completely transparent with Tathis. You cannot hide anything anyway. So why not be completely transparent? You will be the better for it. I know.

When you bare your spirit in that relationship with The All There Is, you have come clean. It is so good to have completely let it all go. You need hide nothing anymore. (You cannot hide anything, anyway.)

What a great feeling it is to have become completely transparent and still be totally and unconditionally accepted by Tathis. It is completely liberating. It is part of the bliss you can feel in that relationship with Tathis.

But then there is more – you can then be more transparent with other humans in your relationship circle.

I am not saying that you must be completely transparent. Not everyone is going to accept you just as you if you reveal everything. There are those who consider it their duty to criticize others. Revealing yourself to them in too big a way is a mistake.

So you cautiously reveal yourself, a little at a time. See how those around you react or do not react. See who you can trust. You will find a few who you can trust totally with who you really are. These are the ones you need to build long term relationships with.

They need also to trust you when they become transparent to you. You need to keep their confidences. You need to try to accept them just as they are as well.

Truly you may not be able to keep all confidences. You may not be able to accept everyone just as they are. These folks you may need to break off with or distance yourself from. You cannot be super-human in your associations. You need not expect yourself to be.

But so far as is possible and good, try to be transparent within yourself, with Tathis, within your affinities with friends and relatives, and allow others to be transparent with you.

This transparency, all around, will help you have greater happiness and meaning. Begin now to be more transparent.

The Meaning of Life and Our Earthly Disguises

meaningoflifeandourearthly disguises

Missing the meaning of life, to be happy, has something to do with the disguises we wear. These disguises are provided to us by our egos. The ego is afraid of many things. One of the important items it fears is that people will not like you unless you present yourself as something more, or other than, you really are. So the ego makes up false identities, disguises.

The body encased ego is governed by its own likes and dislikes. It dislikes being seen as something less than it wants by other people. So it prepares costumes for you to wear. It thinks that you are imperfect the way you are. Therefore, it must constantly reinvent you in the way it thinks the world will like. Like an actor who keeps all his old costumes because he just “knows” he’ll be called upon to play that role again.

But this costume changing keeps you on edge. What shall I wear next? What is the appropriate ensemble for the people I want to impress today? I must avoid the appearance of imperfection at all costs. What if they don’t like me?

Now, don’t get me wrong. We all want to be liked. But when we go out of our way to please others, we are missing the meaning of life within – to be happy. To be happy with oneself.

When you accept and know that your soul, the real you, is of the Divine Nature, you can become calm and relaxed. Your soul, your true self is an individual reflection of Divine Spirit. Therefore, your soul, the real you, is unassailably perfect. What? You ask, “I am perfect?”

“Yes,” I answer, “you are perfect in the core of you, the soul.” This body of ours will mess up. This ego we all carry around will cause us no end of trouble. But the real you, you at the soul-level, is forever and indestructibly perfect.

When you realize this and practice it, day and night, a calmness that passes all understanding comes over you. You still want to dress well, for example. But you no longer worry what others will think. You will say what you feel, for another example, in the most appropriate way, when you perceive it is right and good.

And the whole of human experience is accepted with composure and equanimity, without forming likes and dislikes as the ego would have them.

The appearance of imperfection will fall away from. For you will sense in your soul, that you are as God created you. Perfect. Yes, we all have

troubles and we get into trouble. But who we really are, inside, in the Spirit, is undisturbedly perfect.

What can you do with a perfect soul? You can feel better about yourself. You can feel at ease within your own skin. You can know that nothing can ever again agitate you out of who you really are. In short, you will have found, again, the meaning of life, to be happy.
