Happiness is temporary that is based on worldly things and events that are temporary.
Joy is a gladness that doesn’t depend on circumstance.
Happiness is only available in this moment, not dependent on logic or future events.
But have to release all past emotion that weighs you down. Never think bad things. Only feel emotion as it rises up on its own.
Joy can shine through, when past emotions are no longer there.
(Forcing emotions down is toxic to the body, and only delays it to be felt through later).
Thoughts are very powerful to create new emotions. Never let yourself think painful thoughts or you suffer.
Never think painful thoughts, and feel the painful emotions as they rise on their own. Never do anything to suppress or run away from past emotion (alcohol, staying distracted). It does take time and many tears. But it’s in a relaxed, I don’t mind it way.
And you get to the point where no matter what happens you don’t mind it. No pain what do ever can bother you anymore. That brings you joy. You are joyful no matter what because nothing bothers you. Nothing can negatively affect your mental state. (You are in control of your mind and only allow peaceful and positive thoughts to exist. And call out mentally “that’s not true” to any negative thought, if it does arise.) you are so use to pain and not bothered by it that no pain can bring you down. Yes it means facing all your fears and past pain head on. Positive affirmations help with fear, whatever thought is the opposite of what the fear is. While past pain can only be done feel it, without thought, without resistance, and just allowing it to exist in the moment until it passes away. It’s not a wanted it to go away. It is a accepting that it is there. After it passes away you feel so much better, so light. Feeling though pain becomes like a part of existence. And over time it’s like you experience a whole new world where everything in life is lighter.
This is the path of current humans.
In the future humans will watch the quality of their thoughts a lot better and teach their kids the importance of what they think so they don’t have to do the feeling through work we do. But for now in society it requires working through pain.
And not using social media, not watching the news, not watching ads. Everything of society reinforces painful thoughts (that are not true), and selling various methods of suppressing pain that ends up weighing people down every moment of their existence (until they work through it).
But for now, crying is actually a fairly pleasant experience when you just allow it to happen, and occasionally take a deep breath in. While just allowing the mind to go blank, or while listening to spa/yoga music (music without words). There is no need to put your focus on the pain to experience it. Put you focus on the music, a plant, the ceiling, whatever. (Something pleasant or neutral that isn’t distracting)
