Empower Yourself by Admitting It: WE LIVE in HELL

I have to disagree.

- 'We' are not eternally conscious spirits - All is one infinite spirit/energy eternally dancing.

- Boredom is not found in awareness/flow, it is a product of the mind.

- None of this is scripted, it just is.

'' Suffering is a perspective. Identified with our body-minds, suffering seems so real, so solid, so awful & unwanted. Abiding in Pure Being Consciousness, everything just is. No judgment, no right or wrong, better or worse, just Is-ness.''

Please do not cut yourself off from the absolute beauty that is Life by reducing it to a 'distraction'. We are simply God experiencing itself. It is all divine.

You need to let go of the mind games - they are not real in any sense.

Without a doubt, I am no longer a happy or sad person. Without a doubt, I abide in a “state” of perpetual bliss, every moment of every day. But it’s not subject-object bliss, like “I” (subject) “experience” bliss (object.) I am bliss. If I had to “experience” bliss as something separate from “me,” through “my” mind (which can onlyexperience things as a separate subject-object,) I would not “feel” this bliss.

The “I”, the “experiencer,” had to disappear, as did the desire for “me” as a separate entity, to experience that bliss for “myself.”

Earlier in my life, like everyone else, I chased after happiness. Nothing wrong with that. And sometimes I was happy and sometimes sad or disappointed. The happy/sad oscillation was part of what made me start inquiring, deeply, “Who is this Self that keeps having all these changing emotions, what is the True Nature of our Reality here?”

Then one day, as I was meditating on this and seeing the “individual-separate-from-Consciousness” self, more & more, as clearly an illusion, “I” disappeared. And all that remained was Pure Being and boundariless bliss. At first, there was sense of subject-object, a sense of an “I” that was feeling this as a wonderful “experience.” But then even that last fine thread of “I”-ness dissolved, and all that was left was Being itself. There wasn’t even any “I” left to experience it.

“I” could tell you more about my life, since you asked. Tell you more details. But I think that would be boring, because, as far as earthly lives go, I’ve had a pretty normal, boring life. Grew up in a big East Coast city, became a professional musician, went to conservatory, produced many records, blah blah blah. Nothing special.

But I don’t think it adds anything to your question of whether I’m now “genuinely happy.” There’s the normal happy-sad pendulum of life before awakening to our True Identity, and the complete dissolution into Everything of “my” life since that awakening. That really seems to be all that’s important…and not important at all!
