@UpperMaster Yes I believe you're right, I had the same suspicions about happiness, that it's easier to be happier if you learn techniques like meditation and emotional masrtery but that some conditions like health will take away from overall happiness. So the best thing we can do is improve both the conditional things and you could call the other things spiritual techniques Ig lol.
And tysm for the welcome. Im excited to meet people who follow Leo, people who are just as serous about self actualisation as I am, gets too lonley on this journey lol, people my age, at 19, are a completely different breed to me, and I try say that with no judgement, but even that is something I'm learning!
