yet none of such paths has actually considered that we cannot create happiness through denial and suppression, we cannot create happiness without understanding how we’ve created / contributed to the unhappiness that exists within and without.
Furthermore, such paths to happiness have always been ‘individualized’, without regard or consideration for the happiness of the whole; without considering that no one can ever be truly happy when the rest of the world suffer, struggle, fight, deceive or lie to survive.
At Desteni we are walking a new path of happiness. That includes self-responsibility, self-honesty and the realization that we exist in the context of a whole that we create through our mere existence. Thus our mere existence determines the quality of the whole, which in turn determines the quality of the individual. No one chooses the conditions into which one is born – yet those conditions determine one’s chances and options in life, due to the inequality-system (money-system /world-system) and the accepted exploitation of life on this planet. To change the world we must change the system, to change the system we must change ourselves.
I find that actual happiness comes as self-fulfilment through the small steps of daily self-application, where we start putting our realizations into practical living; where we start committing ourselves to life, to self-support, self-honesty and walk the talk.
We tend to seek ‘happiness’ through the mind, and we tend to ‘find’ stuff that seemingly ‘give’ us something, like ‘hope’ or ‘strength’. We come to many realizations through common-sensical thinking, however realization are irrelevant if they exist merely in the mind.
It’s worth seeing that realizations remain merely ‘feelings’, ‘ideas’, ‘perceptions’, when not practically lived/applied. So the feeling of ‘strength’ for instance is not yet actual strength. We all go through this process of realizing that what we are seeking is in fact ourselves, and that we gotta get on our feet and actually move ourselves, do something, develop ourselves, make decisions, make a stand, determine who we are.
And that is where practical self-directive application comes-in or/and self-correction. Walking this process, I build self-trust as I learn to trust me to live my word / my realizations – committing myself to live self-honesty and to make sure I always have the whole of existence in context, with any consideration, any decision, any application at any given moment.
Making ourselves practical, making ourselves useful – to ourselves to begin with and then consequently to others equally – that is the accumulative ‘effect’ we can ‘cause’ as actual step to happiness; it’s a process that sees self within the context of the whole / Life.
How can we start doing what’s best for all, even in the ‘smallest’ moments of our existence? – that is the question.
Within this process of self-exploration / self-investigation in the context of the Whole, we are walking practical corrective-solutions each to our own ‘individual’ issues and expand this point consequently within how we communicate with ourselves, with each-other, with life – as LIFE.
So in fact this is a mutual re-education and re-evaluation process we are walking as humanity – and there is only One principle, only One value that can guide the way: LIFE itself – which is/will be our equality and oneness, our ‘divinity’, our ‘highest potential’.
Fascinating that the point of equality and oneness is in fact the way –the only way– to actual freedom as creators, as life, as living-potentials.
2012 is The End – but it is also The Beginning.
