The Teaching

The crux of the teaching is - to be able to sit here happily. And for that to happen, we have to come to this understanding that the very search for happiness takes us away from actually experiencing happiness. 

As long as we keep looking to extract happiness out of everything and everybody, happiness will be like chasing a mirage. It will seem to be further and further away. But then a lifetime can go by chasing after something that does not need to be chased. The choice is always with us.

To see - Right now, right here, what truly exists?

According to this teaching the happiness that we are talking about is not about chasing the pleasures of life and avoiding the pains of life. The happiness that is being talked about here is realizing the everlasting peace of your natural presence. This presence is not just accessible to a few chosen people on the planet. Rather, all of existence is a reflection in this presence. It is not something separate from who we essentially are.

Some call it Spirit, some call it God, some call it Energy, some call it Consciousness-Awareness. I call it Happiness, or in other words - freedom, love and beauty.

You are the silence in which everything arises and vanishes. Once you understand that, you stop seeking it. You realize even in the midst of chaos, you the silence still shine. It never goes, because you never go. But you have to find this for yourself.

This body,
This mind,
And this world.

Your actions and interactions, all arise in the presence of you. Every moment it arises and every moment it vanishes. What remains if not the silence of who you are?

You are not a state.
You are not an experience of the mind.
You are, in which all states of mind appear and disappear.

Relax into the silence of who you are.
