The Illusive Anomaly - Joy, Peace, and Harmony

[image error]

We are all chasing something – that something
is the thing we believe will make us happy. 
In other words, the object of our pursuit is not the object at all.  It is the instrument that we believe will
make us happy.   For most of us, the
object of the chase will be one, two, or maybe even all three, of these things:
Money, Sex, or God.

That means, we believe that to have the
happiness we don’t presently have, we must obtain, more money, more sex, or more
God.  There are a couple of key words in
the premise.  They are “more” and “chase.”  “More” is significant because even if the
premise were true, we can never get enough of anything to be happy – no matter
how much we get, we have to have more. 

The other word, “chase,” is the real
key to the illusiveness of the objective. 
There is nothing that will give us happiness.  We already have all of the joy, peace, and harmony
there is – yep, it’s already here.  We
don’t see it, because we are too busy chasing something else.  Have you heard that before?  Chances are you have.  Do you think it’s just a bunch of air-head
baloney?  Chances are you do.

Do you have the guts to check it
out?  Before you say yes, you should know
this might take five minutes away from your search for truth “out there.”  If you said, “OK, I’ll do it, whatever it is,”
here’s what it is:  Go to a mirror, take
a deep breath, lean close to it and look into your eyes.  Lock you focus.  Don’t blink, don’t look away.  Hold your gaze until the voice in the back of
your head that is screaming, “This is STUPID,” or “You don’t have time for
this,” fades away.  Hold your gaze until
there is nothing but you looking into your soul.  That’s where the big three, joy, harmony, and
peace, reside.  When you’ve seen them,
you can close your eyes and breathe. 

Remember where they are and join them
often.
