“Happiness= Fulfilment of desires/Desires“
Happiness or contentment is relative: Depression to Joy!
It’s measured by a fraction.
If you want to be happy, look at you’re desires or expectations.
Desire without fulfilment makes your “happiness fraction,” smaller. Buddhists teach, “desires bring unhappiness,” so release them or fulfill them, to approach “One,” or maximum happiness!
If you have but one desire, to experience the presence of God, and be of good service, you can have one, God willing, in a walking meditation, in a divine yoga!
“Complete Yoga with the holy spirit is a practice that can produce happiness in all circumstances.”
“Be Aware. Sustain Curiosity. Keep your Love active in Faith, and your Faith active in Love.”
“Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God.”
“No, also means I love you.”
“Romance=Infatuation + commitment”
Romance requires Infatuation plus commitment.
If you only have infatuation, you have the drug of chemistry that is working creation’s story.
If you only have commitment, then you have friendship.

grief
Grief is a judgement of loss of someone or something of value.
We have a loss of relationship or connection on more than one level.
We lose our mind for a time, and our way, as if we have fallen off a ship at sea, and the waves of grief take us down into the depths of pain, anguish, and despair.
Sometimes the waves are huge, and we are held down long wondering if we will drown and die..
Sometimes they come like chop, and can still leave us choking, and spitting up water, the tears of God.
Oh, how we long to get back on to relation ship.
The way to survive it is to work through it, or let it work through you, to remind you of the good that once was, and that everything is temporal, and that you can be of service to others who suffer.
The idea is to learn to keep your head above water, or at least a hand, or learn to breathe underwater, and then you can teach others, or at least have “com-passion” for them.
Come-“passion,” the experience of God, as we learn…All things pass. Everything is a loan from God.
When we arrive at that conclusion, then we can let go of our grief in surrender and acceptance of God’s Will for his-story.
The “gift,” in our wounding is eventual clarity, evolution of character, and the ability to grow and serve.
A broken ego, can mean a free spirit.

“God loves a broken and contrite heart.”

Question everything to seek Truth… even the painful truth of dependency and inadequacy for many tasks.
God’s ideas manifest reality: Every Word in the Dictionary, Every story in the Holy texts.
God’s ideas flows intricately like light into light, into diamonds, reflecting and refracting light.
Each idea or word is light and like seed or spore.
We are the means by which the invisible becomes visible.
Be mindful of the plants and weeds-of-disease growing in your garden.
Be mindful of the words or seeds you sow to self and others, or accept in your garden.
Tend your internal process and interacting multi-process.
Attitudes-emotion, cognition, behavior triads- are the punch-cards of the human processor.
See the thought in each attitude, and see what seed ideas are in your Garden.
