hello everyone this week I received an
email from someone saying that there are
all these ways that we can find
happiness all these techniques there's
so many techniques I can't remember them
all
they become confusing so what is the
best way we can find happiness while I
can't tell you the best way to find
happiness because that's a matter of
perspective I can tell you the fastest
way in order to understand the fastest
way to find happiness we have to
understand the idea of ourselves as
projectors many of you are probably
familiar with the idea of a projector
there the 20th century teaching tools
where an image is put over the lens of
the projector and the projector then
takes that image and casts the image out
onto a screen so it'd be important for
you to understand that this is all we're
doing in physical dimension you are the
projector the world in the reality or
lavinia is the projected every thought
you think which could be related to the
image that's put on the projector lens
is projected outwards and that becomes
your reality that you experience it
becomes your interpretation of that
reality you experience so every time
something is happening in your life it's
the result of a thought every feeling
you have is the result of thought you
can't experience anything that's on
anyone else's screen and no one else can
experience what's on your screen the
only time that you would experience each
other is if you're co-creating each
other and the only time you would
experience a similar circumstance it's
because you are co-creating the
circumstance or event but your
interpretation of that co-created event
always remains different
there is no true reality to own up to
there is no external reality which
exists separate of us which exists
separate of our observance when we
understand this it's not important to
understand what reality is we don't need
to become addicted to the idea of truth
because truth is subjective and reality
is subjective so instead all we do is
choose the beliefs which feel good to
think we choose the thoughts which feel
good to think we choose the thoughts and
beliefs which benefit us because really
if we create our own reality why would
we do anything otherwise if you want to
create a reality which you enjoy and you
understand that you are the projector
you choose thoughts you choose beliefs
which lead to an image which when
projected you enjoy the experience of
most of us who are addicted to the idea
of truth are addicted to the idea
because we think it will make us feel
better if we figure out what the truth
is most of us are addicted the idea of
truth because we don't actually believe
we create our own reality we believe
that reality exists outside of us and so
the more we know about that reality the
more we own up to it the less chance
there is a as us being blindsided by
something that victimizes us the less
chance there's of us being taken by
surprise and being really injured and
not expecting it when we don't know all
we can know about an external reality
that's the only reason that people fall
in love with the idea of truth is
because they think will make them feel
better
so if you would like to be happy you can
reverse this and cut out the middleman
figure out what would make you happy to
believe about your reality and then your
reality will change to match that this
is not Pollyanna thinking that is the
misunderstanding that people have about
those people who walk through the world
with an idea of think what you want to
think and then you'll get the reality
warmth is oh that's just Pollyanna but
is it really Pollyanna if we create our
own reality
if we understand that that's the reality
here why would you do anything other
than focus on the reality you want to
have versus the reality which is
currently sitting in front of your face
the reality that you have before you is
nothing but the culmination of thoughts
you've thought before it is not true it
is not real it is a hologram a hologram
which is the creation of the thoughts
you have been thinking in your life
leading up to this moment if you don't
enjoy the reality you're living in you
must change the thoughts you're thinking
if you enjoy it then it's working for
you in spirituality we don't need to get
rid of the things that are benefiting us
many of us are somewhat ignorant about
what actually benefits us versus what
doesn't but we do eventually figure out
what does benefit us and what limits us
but the only reason to keep something is
if it actually serves your highest good
there is no reason to keep a thought or
a belief which does not serve your
highest good the fastest way to find
happiness is to question and alter your
thoughts so that they feel good when you
think the ending of your suffering has
to do with questioning your thoughts I
can tell you personally but there's
nothing that somebody can do to cause
you pain the pain that you're
experiencing is not the result of the
experiences that you're having it's the
result of the thoughts that you're
thinking about the experience if you
were to get kidnapped right now and if
you were to be physically tortured that
physical torture in and of itself would
not be the thing that's actually causing
the pain what would because in the pain
is the thoughts you'd be thinking about
what they were doing if you change the
thought you're thinking you change the
meaning behind the experience and thus
you change the level of pain the
sensation that you will experience as a
result of that experience that is why
pain to some people feels like pleasure
what some of us would think should feel
one way would feel entirely different to
another person because they've
two different thoughts to that
experience they've assigned a different
meaning we can use this to our advantage
when we're trying to create happiness by
understanding that if we change the way
we're thinking about the experiences
that we are living the pain relative to
the experience changes and sometimes it
goes away another person may try to
influence your thought but they can't
ever actually choose thoughts for you
you are the only one who can choose to
think of thought having been influenced
to that thought your thoughts are
absolutely untouchable even when you
manipulate the brain and try to control
the brain you can't control thoughts
because thoughts don't exist in the
brain they exist beyond the brain the
brain is just an interface between
thoughts and body ignorance is not the
result of choosing to think what
benefits you to think ignorant as a
result of fully believing in your
thoughts thoughts that are most often
distortions the most important thing you
can do when it comes to happiness is to
set yourself free from your own thoughts
I agree that there are many many
processes that you can use in order to
free yourself from your own thoughts in
order to liberate your own mind to find
happiness about two weeks ago one of my
colleagues came over and they told me
that they think that my teachings are
very similar for the teachings of
someone named Byron Katie they asked me
if I was familiar with Byron Katie at
the time and I said no because I wasn't
but being the curious being that I was I
chose to look into her after that day
and what I found is perhaps the best
process I've ever seen in terms of
alleviating yourself from your own
painful thoughts for anyone who is
interested in doing this I would highly
suggest using the process she offers
called the work a detailed explanation
of the work can be found in her book
titled
loving what is is a break with tradition
for me to outrightly
suggest a fellow teachers process but I
know a good thing when I see one I care
deeply about those of you who watch this
a SteelSeries and if I find something
that works I'm going to tell you what
that something is there is no way to
lead a happy life and to believe in your
painful thoughts at the same time
happiness is in mind because reality is
in mind if you have a happy mind you
have a happy reality happiness really is
all that we can project when we set
ourselves free from our own painful
thoughts because in the absence of our
own painful thoughts happiness is all
the remains how really good week
