HJ: Happiness has been decoded.  We know what produces it in spades. The only thing left to do is adopt the principles that lead to happiness.  To do the things that remove any barriers and obstacles to experiencing it in our day to day life.  The hard part, however, is undoing the patterns and habits we have.  But even that can be easy if someone is ready and willing to change.  It’s only hard for people who say they want it but are not willing to make any changes to get it.  Like anything in life, it’s what you make of it.  But regardless of whether you want to go slow or fast in realigning yourself with these and other foundational principles, alas, here they are for your knowledge and integration.

Four Surprising Principles To Secure Happiness

We all want to be happy. So why don’t people do what it takes to get there?

Do you hold yourself back from committing fully to your creations “just in case”? Do you have a wait and see attitude, and wait for things to prove themselves to you? Do you realize that to do so actually limits your success?

Such an approach is like going to a raceway to see how fast your car can go and then setting the cruise control at the speed you normally drive. You will have effectively controlled your experience but you will never really know what your car is capable of. You would have capped yourself at far less than the full potential.

Your mind will frequently only see potential within the realm of what has already been achieved. You are so much more than what you have already done! The most successful people on your planet are the people who fully commit, who whole-heartedly throw themselves into experiences, allowing them the room and time to fully unfold and expand into the fullest potentials, and then create again beyond even that! They are always discovering more and more about what they can do, and what is possible.

Dear Ones, won’t you finally allow yourselves to discover your own greatness and potential and become the great innovators of your own life expressions? ~Archangel Gabriel

In Madison, Wisconsin, the homeless population has grown by 7% in the last four years, rising to around 3,370. Occupy Madison, frustrated by lack of movement on behalf of city leaders opted to develop their own solution. It’s called Occupy Madison Inc. It’s a nonprofit organization, and their mission is to house the homeless.

Tiny Village, the name of their housing development, has 9 tiny homes, a permanent day resource center, safe places to sleep at night, as well as restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, a community gardening space; basically everything a chronically homeless person would need in order to function within the system. Their ribbon cutting event was November 15th, 2014.

“Those who reject even telepathy have reached the point where they are impugning either the honesty or the sanity of several thousand scientific researchers on all major continents over a period of decades. Such expedient ways of disposing of data are shared only by the most ardent anti-Evolutionists among the Fundamentalist sects.” ~ R.A. Wilson, from the book Cosmic Trigger.

Thoughts Through Space

The term “telepathy” was coined in 1882 by Frederick W.H. Myers, a founding member of the London Society for Psychical Research (SPR). The word means “feeling at a distance”, though this may be slightly misleading in that this is not usually how the term is deployed. Telepathy is essentially mind-to-mind contact, or the exchange of information between two different consciousnesses separated by an arbitrarily large distance (it doesn’t matter how large). Though many of the more narrow-visioned would claim any discussion involving telepathy is “unscientific” by default, we can see that many years ago there were eminent scientists who not only recognized its existence but sought to understand the phenomenon.

Cravings can inspire you or consume you. They can lead you down the path of ill health or encourage change in what and how you eat. Once we are tuned into all the the foods that jive with our intestinal, hormonal and physiological health, we can learn to and tweak our diet to satisfy something larger that our body requirements. Defeating recurring cravings is all a matter of matching a nutrient deficiency with a healthy bioavailable source.

I know many people who self-medicate with cookies, chocolate or cupcakes. But there is always a close link between feeling down and craving carbs. It’s not always clear if a dip in your mood is the excuse for your recent junk food binge, or if it’s the other way around, but specific nutrientsa are behind many cravings.

Fear. Anger. Sorrow. Doubt. Overwhelm . . . All of those and more. The sages faced them . . . and faced them . . . and faced them . . . and through persistent compassionate facing (hint: meditation) they discovered something remarkable.

They discovered that every emotion – no matter how challenging – can be healed, transformed, and expressed as life-­giving energy.

They discovered how to experience freedom – not by suppressing, defeating, or avoiding emotions -­? but by transforming them. They discovered that freedom isn’t an escape from life but that freedom can be realized in the midst of life’s inevitable ups and downs.
