The only way for people to be happy in the future is to sit quietly and witness non-judgmentally and acceptably everything that arises up in them in the moment. This will involve witnessing and feeling things that they have been habitually suppressing. This is the only way to be free of the constant background emotion that taints every waking moment of their daily life. Allowing and not making a story about it are critical. And give up all means of suppressing it. Often at night when people lack the energy to suppress it, they turn to tv or alcohol to distract and suppress. The emotion remains there when they run away from it, and it makes everyday a hell. But rather, witness everything that is within themself to be free of it in order to feel the joy and peace of being free from the emotion they have been hiding from themselves. The road to peace is paved by growth
This requires self discipline and focus. It’s isn’t easy, but it is very natural. Sitting with yourself in nature is the most natural thing there is. What needs to be released gets released. It feels amazing afterwards. And grows closer to God by removing emotional burdens.
