My newfound happiness; any advice?

2 posts in this topic

Gradually over the last two months or so, I've awakened to a new level of being.  Which makes it sound like a big deal, and it is huge to me personally, but what really changed is that I went from effectively never experiencing unconflicted happiness for over thirty years, to experiencing it every day in one form or another.

More than that, there is a new confidence and resilience in me that if I do feel bad for some reason, the reason is just mechanical, so that if I fix the mechanics, I can go back to a baseline of being happy and excited for life.  I am increasingly sensitive to the effects my actions and habits and choices have on my experience, whereas before I couldn't feel the effects of many of my detrimental choices against a background radiation of inner chaos.  If I had to describe it in terms of spiral dynamics, which I am barely familiar with but seems popular on this forum, I would say I've just breached stage Yellow.

To those who have reached this level and beyond, I ask;  do you have any suggestions for me, such as advice that might matter to a person at my level that wouldn't have mattered at a lower level, or experience on how my perspective might be expanding from this point on?

To those who aspire to this level and beyond, I offer my anecdotal experience.  I have not currently reached a level of any kind of obvious cosmic consciousness or unity or any such thing.  I still feel anxiety and resentment, even when I don't always have to.  Reaching a new level did not make me smarter or more knowledgeable or even a better person, really, so the best I can promise is that I'll be selling no medicine I haven't taken myself.

Seems like you’re making some good progress. 

You can reach a stage where you aren’t really affected by external events, only your internal state—which is largely under your control. Sadhguru talks about this a lot. It’s also in this video: 

 

 


What is this?

That's the only question
