Obtaining Happiness

“The truly spiritual states are very easy: one is simply, here now!” — (Elisabeth Haich, Sexual Energy and Yoga. Pg. 141).

Happiness implies a state of oneness, or having obtained the desired outcome, but “obtaining” implies not yet having it, being separate from the outcome of our desire.

In Esoteric Psychology, all desire flows from a spiritual level of consciousness, and is distorted as we interpret it “personally.” At the spiritual level, the symbol of the object is already ours, but at the physical level our ego interprets it as the “desire for” the object. Yet, in Metaphysics we must act “as if.” We must already have the object of our desire, for it to manifest.

Since the reality of our personality is based on desires that have been “personalized,” our reality can only comprehend a state as separateness. Objects that we desire being separate from our grasp — making us full of “want.” All desire is really a premonition of what is to come — for to have the desire on the physical plane means we are at one with it, on the spiritual plane. In religion, attunement with a symbol can cause the power of that symbol to manifest on the physical plane.

All desire is formed from the root source called Love. It is misinterpreted by personality as “lack” or “wanting.” In truth, the True Self radiates this love constantly; but it is received by personality only intermittently, and because personality believes itself to be outside this center of radiating glory, it is projected upon others as if they are the source of this love.

In Esoteric Astrology, each of us is our own source of that radiating love, but when we radiate it to others, we experience this love as coming from them. Our love radiated out, and returning to us.

When we act “As If” we are the radiating center of love, it draws the power from the spiritual plane, filling us with enough love left over to give to others — this is called spiritual healing!

By admitting that it is LOVE that we are seeking, in all that we do, focuses the power of attunement into something that is already ours. This creates a magnetism that attracts all that we are, the true Source of Happiness — mutual LOVE! We want to tap into this source.

Recap: Instead of seeking happiness in our daily life environment, we go into a ‘meditative state’ for our happiness. Then, we express that happiness as love, in our daily life.
