Never Ending Goalposts of Desires/Happiness

[SoonHei]

The feeling of happiness and peace itself is a soft and simple ZERO.

but what gives that feeling of happiness an apparently different feel each time is the level of tension/longing which is built up until the goal has been accomplished.

> Walking down the road. You see a pretty girl/guy, you have thoughts about them, create a story and so on... Movement away from what is. Goal post has been created.

> Sitting at home. Out of no where, think about eating something delicious... Movement away from what is. Goal post has been created.

Creating the goal post ahead, scoring the goal and then repeat. That's how you function in life. They key is realize that it may still happen that way. But you will be disidentified from it. As simply the awareness of this play. 

You at rest with no desires or wants are at peace. Which is the same as happiness. 

Happiness is what you call peace once it is had after a goal is accomplished.

 

In telling of a joke or watching a suspenseful drama... The tension is built up and we want the release of this tension in form of a resolution.

 

A question is asked which requires an answer to be understood to take care of that question.

Simply staying in this state of zero/peace can be boring and difficult at first. Your ego finds this as sitting on a giant hot stove. It wants to move away from it and draw you away from it.

 

Overtime, you will find to be at peace just as you are. By staying in this state for long and simply being. Then, no matter what questions your mind poses or no matter what situation arises. You will remain and watch from your eternal home of peace... Not drawn in... You will remain at zero and not let any tension build up for yourself.

The ego mind will be going thru those emotions, you will have fallen simply as its background.
