Discussion: What is Most Necessary to Live a Happy Life

These articles will have some continuation, a flow of consciousness piggy backing off the last articles ideas. There will be a few detours, random poetry, and anecdotes sprinkled within this attempt at a fluid and connected story line.

Today is a day, like any other. Doing the things we think necessary.

Necessary.

I'd like to ponder what is truly necessary, and pose an argument regarding our personal power to create real change.

So what is necessary, let's start with a list. Please add in the comment section below anything you think is necessary to have in your life to be completely happy! 

  • Food,
  • Water,
  • Shelter, 
  • Sleep,
  • Prefer to have some clothing,
  • I like my computer and phone, it allows me to work and stay connected
  • Ok, so there are probably some items that will be subjective here, for an artist "I need my paints," for a tradesman, "I need my tools,” for a musician "his/her instruments" and etc.
  • Electricity and a Power Source
  • Toilet and Shower
  • Cleaning Supplies
  • Books,
  • A Vehicle
  • Some Money
  • Friends are good, like minded people to share experiences and bounce ideas off with ๐Ÿ˜„

Anything else? Please leave your comments below, as it will give us an idea of what WE REALLY NEED. 

Also, I'd like to pose a questions. What if all our material needs were being met, then what is it we think will make us happy? What are the factors causing unhappiness in our lives if our basic material needs are being met?

Please leave a comment! Peace ✌

    I think happiness is a state of being. You can be truly happy when you whole heartedly believe you have enough.

When Water Meets Fire

Image
Let it flow like the winds and  water,  refreshing and cooling. Met with the dynamism and  burning heat of fire. In combination,  this class of energy exists and can  be created for digestion and  processing power. When these energies are  concentrated,  they can be channeled towards  any realm in existence. We can then operate in the  material and physical layers, or go further into those exciting  energies at play. It takes more subtlety to bring  awareness to the thought space,  focus, concentration, stillness, studies,  and training. First gently meandering a single stream of consciousness,  like we were feeling through water,  balancing on a tight rope,  breathing so deeply as we seek out a target, then crunching a single concept down to its granularity,  drilling deeper, and deeper, and deeper  towards its core. Only to get lost, and then we let go. We tend to revisit and continue channe...

Decluttering the Mind Field

Image
We must simply be. Merely allowing thought forms to arise. There is no need to judge, or create any type of situation in our minds.  In the case where these thought forms do arise,  we have the choice to entertain them or simply let them pass. This is a form of meditation,  Being an observer, allowing ourselves to identify less with our fickle and changing thought forms,  Perhaps this is what the ancient mystics meant by controlling our own thoughts. Controlling doesn't mean to suppress, or manipulate.  Rather control means to focus, channel, organize, and decide what we would like to keep and what we would like to truly let go of. Easier said than done, but I hope this is a simple and helpful guide in decluttering the 'mind fields.'  Become an observer, and give importance to those thoughts that make you truly happy and well.  Peace and Love Always!

The Container of Earth and Water

Image
  The container of subtle earth and water has been made, and is now growing. The seed forms of pitta and vatta, can now be held and become more concentrated. How can I allow my energies to settle, permeate evenly, and then channel them towards healing and  making life better? I must move slow in physical from, and also in thought. To take time, and allow the 'space' to exist Observing these moments, to accept them, embrace them, and love them completely  "In Silence, One Rests in His True Nature" เซ So many paradoxes ☯ as one seeks for greater congruency. The seeker is on a path to the oneness state. Overthinking, 'under' thinkers  Blanked out, spaced out, versus Meditation Reframing perhaps, is a way to observe our very nature in the best way. We are able to positively look at the times and observe the spaces when we are not 'in control' and embrace them intimately.  Looking at them as an essential time to loosen our mental grips, and let the mind rest...
