Happiness or Contentment?

In these present times of evolution on Earth there is much action in the world of Metaphysics and Spirituality. More and more we are becoming aware of the nature of our true essence, our inner being.

There are hundreds of Organizations on the Internet that teach many wonderful things, but what seems to appeal to people the most is getting rich…rich… and happy…happy…happy…

Many books and CDs are being published and getting more and more popular each day.

Personally, I welcome such knowledge to be exposed to the public because I have been involved in the world of Metaphysics since 1968 when all of it was a taboo. Thank God now it’s all in the open and it’s time for man to learn the truth about his real nature.

We are spiritual beings and we are powerful co-creators of our earthly experiences, good or bad, and it’s time we awaken to such a reality and learn to live up to our highest potential. Unfortunately many are attracted to this type of teachings thinking that they will get wealthy and happy.

Be aware that there are many new teachings which are nothing but sham, nothing more than new religions, new myths, new superstitions.

It’s a time of awakening, but unfortunately many individuals and organizations are capitalizing on the innocent …naive and gullible people by claiming false powers, by promising wealth and happiness to everyone while they are the only ones to reap monetary rewards.

Man’s greed and corruption still prevails on Planet Earth, so be wise and do not believe everything that’s exposed on the Internet.

Seek the truth… always…. because only the “truth” shall set you free from the false illusions of the physical world.

Abundance, well being, peace and joy are qualities of God who has created such a beautiful and abundant world for us.

However we forget the true nature of our consciousness and we become strictly materialistic in our dreams and desires.

I don’t believe that every one of us has come here to make lots of money and be happy…happy…all the time. I know many people with lots and lots of money and yet they are truly poor in spirit and never content with their lives, it’s never enough and there is always more to get.

Money is good and it’s not the root of all evil as we have been led to believe for centuries by some religious organizations.

Money is just an exchange of energy to provide to our physical needs and it’s the manna that God sent to Moses to survive in the desert.
Money is absolutely necessary for our survival and comforts just like the air we breath and the water we drink because everything we need is provided for us through this exchange of energy. Money is good!

The “greed” of money is the root of all evils and it corrupts everything it touches.

As long as there is greed there will never be wealth and happiness. Greedy people will always be poor in spirit and unhappy because greed can never be the answer to contentment, joy and peace and it’s a bottomless pit that will never be filled.

“There is enough for man needs…but not enough for man’s greed” – Mohandas Gandhi”

The same is true of happiness. How can any normal human being be happy all the time? Only mentally handicapped children smile and are happy…happy… all the time, and maybe even they have moments of human emotions and pains.

Happiness comes in cycles and it is never a permanent state of being and feeling.
The day you get married is a happy experience …when your children were born was a most happy and rewarding experience, special holidays, trips to specific places, birth day parties, when we fall in love… etc…etc…those are indeed happy moments, but it can never be a permanent and constant state of being.

Often times what people call happiness is nothing but excitement and euphoria and never a constant state of mind.

I have noticed that many people act as though they were happy, smiling most of the time, but they are never content with their lives, therefore the false happiness they display is nothing more than a facade, a persona.

There is always some one who has more, who is better than they are, who knows more, who has traveled more, who has a better education etc…etc…and they spend most of their lives always wanting more, comparing themselves to others, competing with others and never…ever…content with what they are or have.

“CONTENTMENT” however can be and is a constant and permanent state of being.
When you find contentment you shall then find “PEACE”.

When you are content with what you have then you are indeed a very rich person! You shall never want for anything because when you are content you also have a sense of gratitude for what you have today…right now….and more and better shall come.
When we are content and grateful we are holding good constructive inner feelings with faith and trust, thus the Universal Law of Attraction will respond in the same assured and positive way.

If the Law of Attraction would respond to just words and wishes, then the whole world would be happy and very rich.

This Universal Law will respond to your inner feelings, to what you really are, feel, believe and expect.

When you are content within yourself, when you are content and grateful for all the goodness that is in your life without greed for more and more…then you are blessed and fulfilled, you are indeed rich!
You then have everything and above all you shall have peace and that’s the only kind of riches that we will take with us beyond this world at the end of this earthly journey.
Contentment is a divine gift and, above all, when we are content with ourselves we then have no envy, no jealousy, no resentment, no competitions with anything or anyone.

Of course I am not saying that we should be content with poverty, lack or illness. Oh…no!!!!

Poverty and lack are not of God, but only man made and old religious belief systems that self denial is good.

Never…never….deny your Gods’ given right to have an abundant life. Abundance in finances, abundance in love, peace and health. Those are the divine gifts of our Creator!

Being content with our own selves means to like what we are, to respect what we are because we live by principles of honesty, integrity, love for humanity, peace and joy along with gratitude. What could be better?

Try sometime to sit in front of a mirror and look straight into your own eyes and see what you can find within yourself. I am not speaking of vanity or looking at the body. Beauty comes from within. There are many physically good looking and pretty people that are not beautiful at all because of who and what they are within.

Look inside you….within your soul….let the mirror reflect back to you the truth about your inner being.

If you are content with who and what you are, then you are living your life with peace and harmony and you are a rich person!

Of course in this world of ours we seem to always judge materiality as the ultimate way of life. But we are wrong!

At the end of this journey there is nothing of material value that we can take with us , but peace, love and gratitude for this earthly experience will be with us forever.

Yes…life is not always easy for anyone and we all go through difficulties and challenges at different times.

This earth is not a play ground but rather it is a school and learning cannot be always easy.

The loss of a loved one, an illness in the family, the loss of a job, a divorce… etc…etc…those are experiences that bring difficulties and challenges in our lives.

Of course we are after all humans and we do experience sadness and emotional difficulty at times, but even when difficulties arise in our lives we can still find contentment and gratitude for being alive, for still being functional, for our mental abilities, our physical senses and mostly for knowing that the God within us will always get us through the rough roads.

“ If God brings you to it…He will bring you through it”

Happy moments…praise God
Difficult moments….seek God
Quiet moments….worship God
Painful moments…trust God
Every moment…thank God

Don’t be happy… happy….happy all the time. You will never find stability and peace within yourself.

Be content and more will come because the Universal Law of Attraction will respond to your inner feelings and it will act accordingly.

“Whatever ye sow….so shall ye also reap”

If you are free of envy, jealousy, hatred, prejudices and all the human fearful emotions, you shall then be content and your life will abound with well-being on all levels of existence.
