Molly, I think we have a disconnect of personal philosophy. I do not diparage those who wish to achieve a continual bliss, but it is not something that is part of my spiritual development, nor is it something that I believe is required for a person's spiritual development.
Unless, of course, we are ultimately talking about the same thing. This seems to happen a lot from a mystic point of view where people are talking about the same place, but the words used to describe them are more indacative of what path the individual took to get there. After reviewing the thread, I have to apologize, I could not look at your video link from work here, so I might be retreading things it may have addressed. But happiness to me is part of a duality, part of maya, part of the wheel of life. I savor happiness when it happens, and in a strange way I savor sadness. I like to be part of this opera/ story. But, of course a story is only interesting when there is conflict. No one wants to hear about the man who never struggled. But, what I ultimately seek is that place beyond that. Achieving it brings a type of contentedness, but is not itself contentedness. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
