Love equals happiness. When we are not happy, we are not loving.

Happiness is our inherent, natural state.


Happiness is you being you without any negativity.


The best definition for happiness is peace, tranquility and serenity.


Happiness is the absence of apathy, grief, fear, jealousy, anger and hate.


There isn't anyone who isn't seeking it.


Happiness loves.


The only place where we can feel happiness is right within ourselves.


Happiness is freedom; absence of limitations.


The less limited we are the freer we are, the freer we are the happier we are.


Happiness is equal to one's capacity to love.


Happiness is keeping in mind the things we do want.


Unhappiness is keeping in mind the things we do not want.


If we love completely, we are perfectly happy.


Happiness is being cause rather than effect; master rather than victim.


Love equals happiness. When we are not happy, we are not loving. 


Happiness involves thoughts of oneness; unhappiness,  thoughts of separation.


An attitude of giving makes one happy.

Exactly as a night dream, first you see it as a dream, then you see it as a dream that never was.

Hold in mind only what you want and that is what you will be getting all the time.

Hold in Mind I Can, I Know, I Know How.

The start of the feelings of failure come from the earliest days.  Our parents tell us what to do, they tell us what not to do.  Every time we want to do something and they say, "Don't,"  we feel we can't, we don't know how. 


If we don't want to something and they say, "Do," again we feel we don't know.  All the "doing" and "don'ting" by parents gives us the feeling that we can't,  we don't know, from the first days on. And this continues because it goes on through everyone's life. 


Every teacher has it as his or her make-up that we cannot do.  So they tell us what to do, and repeat it, and pound it into us, and the continue that negativity that started at infancy.  So maybe 99% of us have a feeling of failure that we can't do. We don't know how. 


When we look at ourselves as we really are,  and discover what we are, we discover that all things are possible unto us, that all intelligence is available to us, that we have a direct line to omniscience,  to omnipotence.  And the only thing that keeps us from using it are those pre-indoctrinated dictums from our parents and teachers. Do. Don't.


So by discovering ourselves we see how ridiculous it is to hold on to the concept that we cannot.  And when we see that everything is possible, methodically those concepts are dropped. 

Unhappiness is the realization you don't know how to save yourself. 

 Happiness is the realization you do know how to save yourself. 

An illiterate person has a much better chance of achieving total freedom because he's not clogged by accrued, accumulated encrustations of dogma, doctrine, education, ideas. The less ideas we have, the less education we have, the less demand we have to behave in accordance with the world, and therefore we're freer to dive into ourselves. The less cobwebs we have in the way of seeing ourselves the less we accept from society, because society is very much in the wrong direction. So anything it gives us becomes an obstacle.

Love is letting the other person have it their way.

The vast majority of people's concept of love is actually hate more or less. "I need you, I must have you, I can't live without you, you're mine," is all non love. Love is letting the other person have what the other one wants, not what I want.  What we call love in this world is usually a sensual, selfish emotion---a deal---if you do what I want, I love you, if you don't do it, I don't love you. 

Everyone's attention is taken up in seeking approval.

If taking on the ego all at once seems like too much at first, then start by dropping the effects of ego, your tendencies,  predispositions, likes and dislikes.  Everyone can drop tendencies and predispositions easily, if he really wants to. 
Start with the small ones and go on to the bigger ones, as I've told you.  The simple tendency to walk on the right side of the street can be changed to walking on the left.  The tendency to sleep eight hours can be changed to sleeping six. 
Habitual tendencies don't have to be cut out permanently---just for a time, to demonstrate who is the master. 
The tendency to seek approval is big one to deal with. Everyone's attention is taken up in seeking approval.  Everyone is doing it and it is such a waste of effort and time. 

When we are sunny so is the day.

"Suppose a man is wearing a heavy coat on a sunny day. The coat

makes him hot and uncomfortable, but he carelessly forgets to

remove it. This is the human situation. We need only remove our

heavy and useless ideas in order to enjoy fair weather. We never

need to create a sunny day, for if we are sunny, so is the day.

Our own nature, whether pleasant or stormy, is the very psycho-

logical weather we experience."

                    

Everyone's attention is taken up in seeking approval.

Think in positives.

We should think in positives.  I say to people, "Give me the opposite of the negative thought you're thinking," and they can't do it.  The difficulty is a habit. But you can change a negative habit into a positive habit. Just put in a positive thought with more power than the habitual thought. It'll overwhelm and knock out the negative thought. One powerful thought can knock out hundreds of negative subconscious thoughts at once. 
What makes the difference in the power of a thought?  The amount of resolve, determination, or willpower that you put behind the thought.

You can throw anything out of your mind you want to.
Anything you resolve to do, you do.

What did I do to cause this?

Human beings are really infinite and consider themselves the opposite.  Just quiet your mind enough and discover that which is just behind your mind---your omniscience.  Wherever you are, you can use every incident, every relationship to grow by. Just don't stop seeking.
Seeking should be a 24 hour quest. Almost everything you're doing is unfree behavior.  Examine it and let go of it.  Every time you see non love turn it to love. Only when you are all loving are you free.
Get to the place where no one and no thing can disturb you. Take full responsibility for what's happening to you.  Get the habit of bringing the unconscious causative thought up into consciousness, so that you can drop it and be free of it. 
I developed this. Anytime anything unpleasant would happen to me, I would say, "What did I do to cause this?"  Immediately the causative thought would come up. I would see it and drop it.

"Human beings do not understand even the simplest of facts,

 for example, that hatred burns the hater."

Take all your Joy from within.

"One of the purposes of higher truth is to make us feel something

we did not feel before. One such feeling is _delight_. Now, delight

is entirely different from excitement. Excitement must depend

upon an exterior source, like attending a party or meeting an

attractive person of the opposite sex. But delight is totally

independent, for it exists as a reality within yourself. If no

one else on earth felt delight, you could feel it. Have you not

felt a new delight, perhaps briefly, by absorbing these

higher truths?"
