Is Permanent Happiness Possible?

Is it possible to be truly, deeply and PERMANENTLY happy? It depends on what you mean by “happy”. If you mean that things are always good and never bad, that you always win and never lose, that there are only highs and never lows… then no. 

But there is another kind of happiness, a state of bright fulfillment which is much deeper and yes, permanent. It is not something that comes from outside or in relation to anything happening in or around you. It is a slow unveiling of the reality of who you are, of what life is. 

When we are able to take a step back and observe our inner and outer life, when we have given enough attention to the discovery of reality, eventually there is a realization that we are not the person. 

We are the untouched, unborn, undying, atemporal, non-local Awareness which is aware of everything, while also independent of it all. That Awareness is the source of everything and also capable of manifesting anything from within itself. 

Realizing one’s identity at the level of Awareness is that happiness which can not be lost, because it is not conditional. It just is. The happiness of sheer existence comes from being what we actually are, pure awareness. This is the holy grail every human is seeking, knowingly or not. 

Can everyone find it? Of course. It is mostly a matter of being aware and honestly wanting to know the truth about who you are. It also takes courage, because you have to be willing to let go of illusions in a world where almost everyone is convinced by them. 

Is it worth it? Let me answer this with a question: Is not waking up the only goal truly worth pursuing in a dream?
