The Meaning of Life, To Be Happy, and the Future Is in Your Consciousness Now 88

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

If prefer text only, please the words below the video pane, or is that pain? :-)

Shawna sort of bounced through the door to my office. Her blonde curls flouncing after her. She was maybe 27 or 28 at the time. Big smile on her facing while wearing a summer type dress of bright colors.

I thought to myself, she doesn’t present, that is, give off the vibe of having a problem. She settled herself primly in the interview chair. She chatted about the weather and how nice spring was moving along.

Then she came to her point. “Dr. Bob, I can’t figure out tomorrow. I know that sounds a bit strange. I think I’ve got this thing of living in the moment. But what if I want tomorrow to be different from today? How do I live in this moment and still make the next as I want it to be?”

I happen to have a ready answer for her. “You live now as if it will be your tomorrow. For your future is in your consciousness now. What you think and do, as you live in this moment, sets you up for what your tomorrow will be. Even sets you up for the next moment of your life.”

I had her think of the last time she was crying, either for sorrow or for joy. I showed that she just didn’t shut off the tears. They sort of had to run their course. Each moment one is in the act of crying, a certain emotional state is playing itself out. That emotional state cannot usually be turned off like a faucet. It takes time to subside.

Or like a runner who has just finished his race. He is gasping for breath and it takes time for his breathing to recover to normal.

But even more so in excited feelings. For in our consciousness tomorrow already exists. Now there is a full quantum insight to help explain this, but it was not necessary for Shawna. She wanted an answer to take with her within a few minutes, as most of us do. Suffice it to say that I showed that life is one continuous flow, though we can only really be in this moment. But whatever is happening in the flow of this moment, most often gets carried into the next.

So, be now what you want to be tomorrow. If you are down in this moment, resolve to change that by willing yourself, in this moment to be upbeat. If you are inattentive right now, decide right now to pay better attention and do so in this moment. If you are tired of mourning (feeling sad over a death) in this moment, determine to put away mourning right now. This kind of thing you do in each moment until your next moment, or your tomorrow, is the way you want it to be.

Shawna seemed to get the idea, especially after she suggested that is why kids can’t simply turn of the tears. They have worked themselves into a state and need time to change states.

I believe it is easy to make the connection between your consciousness and the future and being happy and knowing the meaning of your life. If you are not happy in this moment, you need to consciously do the things that will bring you happiness beginning now and continuing into the future. The future is already contained within your consciousness. You need only apply what you are aware of now with what you want to be aware in the next moment, or tomorrow.

The Mean of Life: To be Happy and All Deserve Happiness

All Deserve Happiness

The meaning of life, to be happy, is available to all. Many times while observing the conversations on Twitter, I come across people who say they do not deserve happiness. By fuzzy logic I say, we all deserve happiness or none of us does.

Can you really say that some one does not deserves happiness? (Watch out, now, I switched directions while you weren’t looking.) Can anyone in their right mind say that some other person does not deserve happiness? No. No one can say that, because no one knows the exact circumstances that led that person to where he or she is right now. Sure, sure, we may dislike the person, terribly dislike them, even hate them. But any reasonable person will know that you cannot say the other does not deserve happiness.

Why can’t that be said? Because then the same may be said about you. For example, I know that I have psychological enemies. There are people who do not like me or what I say. Some will be vehemently opposed. But just because they dislike me does not mean they can claim that I do not deserve happiness. Moreover, they cannot keep me from being happy on the inside, at the core of my spirit, or being. This is where happiness actually and truly resides.

Look at Nelson Mandela: 27 years imprisoned by an opposing government. Yet, when freed from prison he lead a movement of reconciliation. No one is capable of such magnanimity without happiness at the core of their being. An oppressive government sought to rob him of his happiness by imprisonment. That robbery never took place; Mandela kept it in his core.

So all of us deserve happiness because we cannot say that so-and-so does not deserve happiness.

I know, I know, this is a long road for a short trip. But I cannot say that even the worst criminal does not deserve happiness at the core of his or her life. Oh, yes, do not mistake me, they must be held accountable for their crime. Due punishment must be meted out under the laws of the land. (Lest anyone wonder, I am NOT speaking about Nelson Mandela here.) But if this criminal will look inside and connect with The Cosmic Consciousness, and through that connection, find happiness, I cannot deny it to them. First, I do not have such power. Second, I am not the one who grants happiness, The Cosmic Consciousness does.

I believe every sentient being deserves happiness. Happiness of the sort that comes through the connection to and with The Cosmic Consciousness. Bliss. All deserve happiness or none do. The meaning of life is happiness. Grant to yourself that deservedness. Grant to everyone else the same.

The Meaning of Life: To Be Happy and What Did I Do to Deserve This?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The meaning of life and to be happy have something to do with karma. Karma is simply, yet completely, defined as “the effects of one’s actions.” Like 2 + 2 = 5. Or like when you open a window and the breeze blows in. Yes, I deliberately chose illustrations that are innocent. Because karma does not always bring bad consequences.

Further, karma is not punishment for something you have done or not done. You must see this. It is simply the effects of one’s actions. When something bad happens to you, it may be, I repeat, may be caused by something you did. But it is in no way punishment. Nor is it, then, reward for something you have done right. It is like blowing out the flame on a burning candle. You blow air out your lungs toward the flame and if the air volume is sufficient and forceful enough, the flame is extinguished.

That does not mean, however, that someone else cannot inflict pain upon you. Because that pain is inflicted does not necessarily mean you have done anything wrong. People are free. They will do what they want. Sometimes people do bad things. The hurt you feel from such events may not have been caused by what you did or did not do.

So, you have got to live with the consequences, effects, of what you do or say. That’s karma. But when you feel hurt it does not mean, absolutely, you have done anything to deserve that pain.

There are those who say that the effects of what we do can be carried over several or many lifetimes to be worked out. In other words, one could have done something so heinous in another life that the effects of that act are still being worked out in this life. And maybe it takes more than one lifetime to work them through.

What I say is this: You deserve the best. You are a child of The Creative Spirit; you are spirit yourself. As such all the best is yours, as long as you don’t stand in the way of it. When pain comes your way, as it does for all of us, you haven’t inescapably done something to cause it. Yes, it could be the working out of the effects of some past behavior of yours. Or, it could be that some free human being has caused this pain.

Don’t automatically assume you deserve hurt. DO assume the you deserve the best. The effects of your actions will work themselves out. But the affliction you feel at any moment is not inescapably of your doing.

The meaning of life, to be happy, has to do with accepting that you deserve the very best. Which you do. Believe it. Live it.
