we are 7.9 billion people on this beautiful planet each one of us a unique reflection of
the dynamics of everyday life from all imaginable fields of existence we are an all striking array
of diversity unparalleled complexity each one an irreplaceable awareness of what
is yet we are lost in a constant urge for more for something seemingly always beyond our reach
for the one thing that would ignite our soul and fill our hearts with a true sense of fulfillment
at the heart of every culture lies the answer to what we are seeking a truth told in a thousand
ways but encrypted by its dispersion among men that few have understood its real meaning
encouraged by the acts of many we have searched for it in all the usual
places in hope of finding the answers to our prayers but have never found repose the key
to unlocking that truth is hidden in a place only few ever thought to look
for as it has always been the truth lies hidden in plain sight
it's the 21st century and we have more devices and gadgets than we even need
yet mankind has never been as deprived of happiness than at this current moment in time
it seems the more we advance into a technological era towards the rising of artificial intelligence
the further we drift away from human authenticity and a true state of pure happiness and joy
take a look around you people of all ages have become prone to glancing at their phones every
10 minutes you head on to instagram to do one thing and find yourself scrolling into oblivion
social media has become such a pervasive part of our lives that we don't even notice
how much time we're spending on it we've all heard of the negative effects of social media
yet it still doesn't stop us just like placing horrific pictures of the effects of smoking on
cigarette packages doesn't stop people from doing it that never worked and it never will
yet most of us do want to stop smoking and most of us do want to have more control
the reason we find social media so enticing is because when we receive a like or a follow or when
someone leaves us positive comments on our posts this triggers a chemical release of dopamine which
makes us feel really good temporarily it actually leaves us craving for more drawn into a trap of
false pretenses all for the sake of an immediate reward everywhere we look we're surrounded by
dopamine stimulators we even carry them in our pockets and most of us can't seem to hold one
conversation with someone without the temptation of looking at our phones now if we're drawn into
these habits because they stimulate the release of dopamine otherwise known as the happy hormone this
then means that the life we're living is deprived of it or at least running seriously low this may
be a hard truth to bear but it's necessary to understand in order to be able to fix it look at
the facts even before the onset of covid a global study showed a long-term decline in the percentage
of adults who consider themselves to be happy the reason we find ourselves in this irrepressible
toxic loop is down to the unobserved workings of the autopilot mind the truth is we are not in
control of our lives until we become aware of how the mind has controlled our thoughts our actions
our emotions our behavior and has influenced our choices we are not in control notice what
happens when you finally get the new car a new job the clothes you wanted the prize you work for
or the holiday you were craving for just as soon as it was done your level of happiness began its
merry descent humanity has been distracted into a state of amnesia through no fault of our own
we have been conditioned into a society that encourages conformity promotes mediocrity and
has us glued to a set of screens that quite frankly is paying havoc with our potential
enticed into the all-encompassing pressures of society's frenetic lifestyle enveloped by
the all-consuming disturbances of the mind and threatened by the ongoing tick-tock of
demanding responsibilities we submit to defeat out of sheer exhaustion instead of reaching for
the stars we're reaching for the remote perhaps we should ask ourselves that essential question
what am i really looking for you'll probably find deep down all of us are in search of ourselves
that pure consciousness that lies beyond the thinking mind scientists have now discovered the
remarkable power the mind has over the body and how we are not separated from the universe around
us as previously thought but very much connected to it our ancient ancestors knew this and had
attempted to pass down this sacred knowledge of the self through texts symbols drawings and even
structures assembled all around the world but this was disregarded by many as modern life progressed
the answer to what we have always been seeking is hidden all around us our very nature dictates the
story of what will be and the name by which we are defined reveals a long kept secret
the very meaning of the word human is the god mind the japanese word for happiness is composed of
two characters the first one is an old japanese verb su which means to create or make happen
the second awasu means to join together or match when you make the two one the inner as the outer
the upper as the lower the male and female into a single one then you will access the ancient
higher realm of consciousness the path to knowledge is straight and narrow bypass
the analytical mind by being present and becoming aware of its manipulation tactics
let go of the identity you once had by challenging your boundaries and you will
begin to unlock the limitless potential that was always awaiting your discovery when man learns to
align the subconscious with the conscious mind not only can he control his state he is able to
consciously create having accessed the key to all wisdom known to many as the holy grail it
is the quintessential path to the philosopher's stone which was hidden in the very place never
thought to look when man acknowledges that he had never been a victim but that he has been given
the greatest gift of them all it is then that he will find what he had searched for all his life
