  1. It's hard to explain in a little post like this how much the natural world has helped me in life. Simply going for a walk among the trees or sitting quietly by a river has carried me through an awful lot, often without me truly realising how much it had helped. I just always felt a little better for being outside I suppose, and didn't think too much about it until I read this fascinating article. Anyway, to cut a long story short... Learning about the very real physiological and psychological connection all humans have with nature, promoted me to share some of my experiences of the natural world with as many people as possible. Particularly with those who might be struggling. So I went out filming the sights and sounds of nature so everyone could experience the same relief as I have felt. If you are interested you can view my videos here More importantly though, I am interested to hear if nature has had a significant impact on anyone else out there? Do you feel a little better when you are able to get out for a while? Peace & Love 😍
  2. SECRET OF LIFE ENJOY MISERY ALSO THE SAME WAY LIKE HAPPINESS WHOLE LIFE & CREATION IS ALTERNATE HAPPINESS & MISERY O Learned and Devoted Servants of God, The human being is reluctant to miseries and enjoys the happy situation. The human being can be compared to an ignorant child, who enjoys the sweets only and is reluctant to chillies. Hence, such a human being is ignorant. The grown up adult enjoys both sweets and chillies in the meals. Similarly, a realized soul enjoys both happy situation and miseries in the life. Therefore, it is only ignorance, which is the inability of art of enjoyment. God created this world with happiness and misery. People enjoy the cinema, which contains both pleasant scenes and tragic scenes. Similarly, people enjoy both sweet dishes and hot dishes in the meals. People enjoy the day and night. People enjoy the hot summer and the cold winter. The whole life and creation is full of alternating happiness and misery. If a person can enjoy both happy times and miseries in the life, he is equal to God. You may say that God enjoys the creation from outside. God also enters the creation in the form of human incarnation and enjoys both pleasant times and miseries in the life span. We see this truth in the life history of Rama and Krishna. Therefore, if you always crave for happiness only and reject miseries, it is unnatural and also ignorance of a child. The knowledge of the Gita preaches that you should enjoy even a top most misery, which is the time of death. If you enjoy both miseries and happy situations, you are in a continuous state of enjoyment. You think that continuous enjoyment comes only through continuous times of happiness in the life. It is not correct. You get bored if you are served only with sweet dishes in the meals. Boring is misery. Therefore, misery is inevitable like summer after winter and winter after summer. The Indians denote happiness through cooling. The foreigners represent happiness through warming, which is heat. Therefore, the happiness to one is misery to the other. What is the reason? The foreigner is mainly exposed to winter, which bores him. Therefore, for a foreigner, the heat is happiness. The Indian is mainly exposed to summer and therefore, cool atmosphere is happiness to him. This is a practical proof that the enjoyment is not confined to happy scene or tragic scene only. This also proves that you can enjoy both happiness and misery. Therefore, it is ignorance to ask God for removal of misery and sanction of continuous happiness. Happiness should lie in the process of enjoyment. Whether it is misery or happiness, you will find real happiness in the process of enjoyment of both. The happiness neither lies in the sweet dish nor in the hot dish. The happiness lies in the process of eating the dish, which may be hot or sweet. If this secret of life is known, you will never pray God for removal of problems and tensions. You will enjoy the problems and tensions and hence, there is nothing to pray God for something. Your prayer to God must be due to your attraction to Him for His excellent personality. Your praise of God must be based on your love for His divine personality. But, today we find most of the people praying God for sanction of continuous sweet dishes. Therefore, the desire for something gets smashed if you know the secret of this concept. Hence, there is no meaning in wishing somebody for a happy new year because continuous happiness bores and leads to misery only. The aspiration for continuous happiness through out the year is based on foolishness and ignorance. On the New Year, you must pray God thinking His divine personality and get attracted for His divine quality. You must at least achieve one of His basic qualities, which is enjoying both happy scenes and tragic scenes in the creation. On the Telugu New Year day, people generally take sweets and sour items mixed as offering of God (Prasadam), which shows the same concept of enjoyment of both happy and tragic movements in the life. This is the divine knowledge in nutshell present in all the divine scriptures of all religions. This is essence of the Gita preached by Lord. He enjoyed continuously in His life and even in the last situation, when He was shot dead by a hunter. This is essence to be learnt and practiced by every human being in this world.

  3. Equal Entertainment and Monism with God Even if somebody scolds Me, I do not get angry at all. In fact, I enjoy the scolding like a hot dish in the meal or like a tragic scene in a movie. God has created this world filled with happiness as well as misery, just as a movie is filled with both comic and tragic scenes or as a meal is filled with sweet and hot dishes. The opposites are to be enjoyed alternately. Any one thing continuing for a long time invariably leads to boredom. The Veda says that before creation, God alone existed. In that state, there was no second item and no changes at all. So, the state was boring. Therefore, God created this world for His entertainment, to get rid of boredom. God equally enjoys both the misery and the happiness that exist in His creation. He is like the eater enjoying his meal consisting of both sweet and hot dishes or like the spectator enjoying the movie having both comic and tragic scenes. Attaining this God-like state of equally enjoying both comedy and tragedy in the world is called yoga (Samatvaṁ yoga..., Tulya nindāstutiḥ..., Sukhaduḥkhe same...—Gita). Equal enjoyment does not mean that both comedy and tragedy are equal or that they are one and the same. The two are clearly quite different; they are opposites. The enjoyment or the entertainment obtained from both is the same. When you see a pot and a piece of cloth, the two items are different. The pot is not the cloth and the cloth is not the pot. But the process of seeing both is one and the same. If we want to achieve monism (Advaita) with God, we must at least achieve this state of equal entertainment in our lives while living in the world. As far as creation is concerned, we cannot create even a single atom, let alone creating the whole world. Neither can we control or destroy the world. In these three aspects of creation, control and destruction of the world, we can never achieve monism with God. This important concept is clearly stated in the Brahma Sūtra (Jagadvyāpāra varjyam...). We can at least try to enjoy this world like God who enjoys both comedy and tragedy and obtains the same entertainment from them. You can neither purchase the food materials nor cook the food. Your friend has purchased the food materials and even cooked the food. He has offered to let you eat the food along with him. Can you, at least, eat the food, equally enjoying both the sweet and hot dishes like your friend? If you cannot do even that much, how can you claim that you are equal to your friend? Can you not achieve oneness with him at least in the aspect of eating with equal enjoyment? When you cannot achieve equality with your friend in even a single aspect, where is the question of oneness or monism between the two of you? If you can equally enjoy both the sweet and hot dishes in the meal like your friend, you can at least claim equality or similarity with your friend in that one aspect of eating. On the basis of that one commonality, you could claim oneness in a loose sense. Similarly, if you can equally enjoy comedy and tragedy in the world like God, you could claim monism with God, in a loose sense. But remember that such loose monism is confined only to the single aspect of equally enjoying the world and not in the aspect of creating, controlling or destroying it. You can say that you have monism with your friend in the aspect of eating the food but you must also say that you have dualism with your friend in the aspects of purchasing the food materials and cooking the food. If you do not have even this one similarity in the aspect of eating the food, then you have no right to utter the word monism with your friend. If you are unable to attain similarity with God even in this one aspect of equally enjoying the world, you are an ordinary soul. Such an ordinary soul is totally different from God. It does not have even a single similarity with Him. A realized soul, who has attained this one similarity, is called a yogi. Such a yogi alone can claim monism with God in an approximate sense, based on this single similarity. The greatest surprise is that the Advaita philosopher claims monism with God in a strict sense, in the case of an ordinary soul! Of course, monism with God is possible in the case of a specific soul(like Rama, Krishna, Jesus, Sai Baba etc) who has been selected by God to become an Incarnation. In the Incarnation, God merges with that particular soul perfectly. But even in the case of the Incarnation, the perfect monism that exists between God and the soul is only to the extent of our imagination. Beyond the limits of our imagination, a dualism between God and that soul remains. Owing to this extremely subtle dualism, God can even withdraw from the soul in whom He has merged, at any time! The realized soul attains partial similarity with God in the single aspect of obtaining equal entertainment from the world. This state is called partial union or partial yoga with God. The Incarnation has full yoga (union) with God, to the extent of our imagination. One must remember that even in the case of an Incarnation, God can withdraw from the Incarnation’s soul. So, there is dualism between God and soul even in an Incarnation. Of course, that dualism is beyond the limits of our imagination. - By Shri Datta Swami www.universal-spirituality[.]org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

  6. Welcome to happiness Yassine 🪴 We're glad you joined our community and hope you find it a great place for conversations and learning. If you want to read more about inner peace, I'm attaching these articles that you might find interesting: https://www.happiness.com/magazine/relationships/finding-inner-peace/ https://www.happiness.com/magazine/science-psychology/inner-turmoil-conflict/
  7. Happiness is when you are at peace in life with all the circumstances. Happiness is not about enjoying any pleasures, it's about how you handle the situations of life In a more stable way so that you have a peace of mind. Happiness is when you smile internally, when the smile comes out from the core of the heart, it's when you are kind to others and shine positively.
  8. You are most welcome and thank you for answering. It does not happen often, but your nailed if to me. That's exactly how the game is played. I appreciate the condolences. Warmly received. TY. Allow me before I take my final leave to acknowledge those moments that made a positive impact on me. I'll just say there was good experiences were good people in the field that made for good synergy. Rapport is an art in a conveyor belt society that is a mutual experience that goes far beyond the scope of the written word. I struggle with words using more than most people can digest but that's OK. I like taking the time to find mindful ones and care with how I hold each thought that comes from such things. I will most likely continue being my own audience in a ... naval gazing ... capacity. I'll just be sure to take my head out of my bum at the end of each session and reengage with those I love. Humor is something I find helpful yet given that ferocity at which many authors and influences write about things, I do beleive this world is beyond repair. That's why fixing and curing are as shallow as profiling. However ... Sharing ... that's entirely another thing. Thanks for doing that so well. I left a trail in PM without expectation as fading is also ok. Some of the best experiences are those that come and go. Attachments can quite limiting. I only continually engage with the people where it's naturally mutual as opposed to economically driven. As soon as it becomes about personal gain I'll naturally gravitate away. This new space I found whilst not devoid of said algorithm is much is less about the profiling. Less selling, promoting but to be sure a lot of outpouring which is find by me. Anyways ... have left contact details and pleased to say It was nice to make a real connection. Thanks for the well wishing ... I go look at my naval now and make my first post. Peace be with you and yours. ~ Dave.
  9. Yea that's a hard core story. I've seen many go this way with my brother being one of them. Sadly it does not help when so many of us are taught to cut others out of our life when the going gets tough. Rejection is a terrible and soul destroying thing. This is why I advocate peace and acceptance above all as today's front line of happiness. Those said services can help but in the end it is up to us. Writing about it can help when not impeded by those who would cast our pain aside. Well done on sharing as you have. Being mindful in the here and now is what I find helps. All those ifs and buts tend to keep us down. I suggest just focusing on what works for you and you continue to live on. Do not let others tell you what you should say or how to think. Advice is well meaning but I have learned its far better to go with our hearts when we learn to be open to our own personal truth. Your own advice shows how much you have grown having been able to express such pain yet worked on through it. Thank you for sharing as today I will be sure to talk to my family keeping this in mind. Great share. This has made me more mindful for the day. You do what you feel helps you. Sounds like your on the right track. Regards ~ Dave.
  10. OK - Understood. If not for how we link songs and use the messages to convey for us I might perhaps be in a position to better understand. I'm different like that. It's a nice tune to be sure. I find true resonance comes from within. For those into science I beleive the revelations on the human body and resonance come from the Vagus Nerve. The vagus nerve helps to regulate internal organ functions, such as digestion, heart rate, and respiratory rate and so on. There are many ways to activate this nerve. Music is certainly one of them. I typically use vibrations without all the words to find a resonance that rings true enough for me. Humming actually brings me a lot of pleasure but more so peace. I say use whatever works.
  11. Hi Janeames, I think it's a safe bet that there are many people out there feeling like this. Happiness is not always as others coin it. Being quiet and unobtrusive can be unsettling for those always seeking to be seen and heard. Of course the dynamics are much more complex than that. I deal with loneliness through the practice of acceptance. More so inner work. The latter not so easy when bogged down in low states of energy and emotion. These negative aspects of being for sure inhibit our ability to make substantial connections with other people. Thankfully I have discovered I don't need many people in my life to find substantial peace. Such an insight not welcome in busy groups that thrive on every day clichés of joy and bliss. That said, one or two connections can greatly improve our health and wellbeing. I just practice being myself as best I can be, but not to be better, thriving, successful or anything of those things. The few friends I have had for decades now to which I can count with just a few fingers on one hand, do not go to parties, sing or dance, we just accept the others for who they be, we take heart that we understand the things that others are so quick to disown. I hope this finds you as well as can be. I use nature over all and stay true to myself despite the push to fit in. Practice stillness and you'll come to see that square pegs do in fact fit into round holes without the need to be something or somebody else.
  12. Hi Rica, I'm also new here. Your my first response. I find being my own audience helps me open up in a way that offers up opportunities for real connections as opposed to today's algorithm which I find is anything but me. I wish you all the best in finding a voice that helps you and others find real peace.
  13. You can be alone in peace without being lonely and enjoy your own company and enjoy the solitude.
  14. I have come to learn a lot about myself in times when I have been alone to do some really truthful self reflection on the choices I have made in my past. I have learned more about myself and what my purpose is here in my life. I have come to welcome peace into my life without apology for having to push others away in my past because those people whom I pushed away did not know or care about what I was going through in a personal way because they couldn't handle rejection. I have come to get over any guilt over saying no to choices that pleased other people more than myself.

  18. We are praying that the war and bas happenings will come to an end, and finally live with peace. 😇 Be strong, we are praying for the safety of everybody! 🤗
  19. Welcome! I'm for world peace too, but I guess it's not going to happen, because as soon as some country lowers it's weapons, some other country will use that to it's advantage. So it's complicated. Unfortunately, lots of civilians suffer from war and I hope, your life can go back to normal soon.

  21. Hi Tine, By Alternative Health I mean practices that are beneficial to health and does not involve taking prescription drugs. I am currently practising guided meditation and hypnosis for 30 mins in the morning and night. And I notice that the things that bother me before no longer bother me. I feel more content and at peace. I am also recieving abundance in all areas of my life, home, work and business. Especially now when there are so much negative news around with the media talking about cost of living crisis. What crisis? I wish people will discover meditation and hypnosis to manifest what they want. That's what I mean by alternative health and wellbeing.

  23. My whole life since my childhood I never had felt any warmness of love and acceptance ,since then I was struggling to love my self and I had a low self esteem.I was afraid to create strong relationship bonds and getting closer to people because on my mind I always thought that I Will always be rejected,feeling unloved and betrayed.My life changed when I encountered Jesus Christ through God,developing a personal relationship with God allowed me to surrender and heal from my past experiences,I started to open up my heart and I felt an unexplainable love with a warm feeling that I never felt ever since.My life changed and I began to love God;myself,my loved ones as well as other human beings,it was that easy hence my heart was flowing with living water and filled with love..I am still in the process of healing and God is still restoring and manifesting..It Is all possible with God..Your life could change for the better forever..Allow God which leads to light,joy,peace and love..If you really wanna know about true love try this God who loves you even when you dont ....I still have more to share..Be blessed..
