The
Pursuit of Happiness – Part 6 – Starting a conversation with God
Ultimate happiness can only be experienced when we are in
the presence of God and talking to Him, like He talked to Adam and Eve in
Paradise, in the coolness of day.
But, Paradise was lost due to no fault of God, and He is presently working hard to restore that and to restore Mankind to its proper place in the Universe, ruling with Him.
Part 5 - Genesis to Revelations
It is not necessary to have or read the Bible to get to know God and communicate with Him.
Millions of people have found Him by searching for Him and He is always ready to reveal and even partially expose himself to those who search for Him, whatever the form or shape of that path may be.
Part 4 – Embrace the Nietzsche Moment
Now that we are at peace with our decisions, we do not care about the past or the future, we have shunned negative people from our lives and we have made peace with those whom we have wronged and those who have wronged us, we can sit back and enjoy every moment that we are alive and blessed to partake in the wondrous universe and people around us.
Part 3 – Inspire or shun negative people.
You get a breed of people who can never be happy. They are never satisfied with their lives, with what they have and with people around them. They can never embrace life or accept responsibility for their actions. They have no idea what their mission in life is and can never accept their destiny. Despair, prejudice and bitterness darken their inner being. They have no faith, no hope and no love.
Part 2 – The joy of forgiving and forgetting.
In the first part we learned how to be free to choose anything from all possibilities, regardless of what the outcome of the choice may be, and that the past and future has no meaning for us.
We thus progress on this road to become free, to delete the past, and for that matter also the future’s pain that the past may have caused us.
Foreword.
Happiness is within our grasp. I know that, as I am the happiest person in the universe, I think, and I have not even explored half of the possibilities of these seven principles yet. I also know some people around me who feel exactly the same, probably without even realizing what the principles of happiness are. But I also know that the majority of people around me are unhappy, frustrated and miserable.
The joy of doing penance.
There are riches and pain on a spiritual level as well, but that is not my subject today, whilst I concede our emotional and spiritual wellbeing are intimately connected. And then there are the physical necessities, which I also do not write about today.
The self destruction of nations - Part 1
I have written a few times on the self destruction of individuals, but if I look at the self destruction of nations, a notion which recently grabbed my attention quite forcefully, the self destruction of individuals pale in comparison.
... or How the West was won.
No, I am not trying to imitate or emulate Gibbon who wrote six volumes on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire some hundred and fifty years ago.
This is a short spiritual and intellectual note about who God is and who I am - or more generally who we are, because in a certain sense we are all generically and genetically the same - humans floating somewhere in space and time in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy called the Milky Way.
