HJ: Breaking free of the limiting beliefs and patterns of your past is some of the most powerful work you can do in this lifetime.  And it is a very necessary step on the path to freedom and the experience of unconditional love for yourself and others.  We must remove the debris and untruths we think about ourselves and this is one of the primary ways to do that.  Truly liberating work.

As I wrote in an earlier post, The True Cause Of Cruelty, for me seventh grade was a disaster. I was persecuted by anti-Semites and so traumatized that my parents endured ...

Each person you come in contact with has a gift for you. Graciously receive it with love, admiration, respect and joy. If you have to ask what that gift is, you need to look more closely. ~ Creator

A new study using mice suggests that psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic, or ‘magic’ mushrooms may help erase frightening memories and encourage new brain cells. Mice were given an electric shock, then a very low dose of psiolcybin, and they lost their fearful response to a sound associated with the electric shock more quickly than mice who didn’t receive psilcoybin.

“They stopped freezing; they lost their fear,” said one of the study’s authors, Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos. It’s believed that psilocybin could one day be used to treat post traumatic stress disorder.

Past studies have shown that psilocybin can induce mystical experiences, improve mood, attitude, and behavior, and potentially alter your personality for the better.

To someone, a crust of bread may be happiness. To you, a crust of bread may not be relished. You may even cut crusts off bread without a backward glance.
 
What you require as a precursor to happiness is a great and clear vision. This is not an intellectual exercise We are speaking of. This is not getting smarter. Happiness is about how and what you see. Where do you see from? See with a smile and not a pout.
 
Everything you do see and hear does not come labeled as happiness, you understand. Happiness is a twist you give to what you see. In one sense, happiness is your due. On the other hand, you are a participant in the discovery of happiness. It is you who embraces happiness. It isn’t exactly a coat you put on, yet it is something like that. You have to pick up happiness and claim it as yours at the same time as you do not demand happiness.
 
Sometimes you equate happiness with being pleased in the sense that it will come to you just like that, by a snap of your fingers. At the same time, happiness enters of its own accord. Set the table for happiness.
