Is unconditonal happiness insanity?

7 posts in this topic

For example, does a highly enlightened person feel grief after someone close to them has died? Are they actually uncondtionally happy, or in denial about how they actually feel? Can you still feel grief and stay happy? So the more enlightened the more insanely happy you become lol. It seems incomprehensible that you could stay smiling in such a travesty.

Remember, hapiness is a choice in the highest point of view of existance. 

It is insanity for the folk.

My view is that enlightenment is mostly understood wrong in this forums.

You wont become a magician or god (in meaning of almighty, creates instant when he wishes etc)  or whatever pure infinite absolute peace. I may be wrong with the last one, some claims it, but enlightenment is in my words, put basically a realization that all the years of belief of you, is not existing.

Last sentence is enough, to make one to get the realization, further is brain masturbation but we all like it right, so here it goes:

You have been deceiving yourself all along with goals, how succesfull or even the opposite how depressed you are etc. You even deceive yourself to become enlightened. Thats another trick. Put basically, mostly the word referred as ego is correct in this scope by others. Ego is what you have believed to be as you. The story you built in your post also falls into this. It what you believe is your thought and questioning system. Why do you even concern with that?

You as character. You as your thoughts beliefs and goals. They are an illusion. Basic but the simplicity is what makes it hard to understand it.

People on this forum wants to achieve that bliss state. It is not wrong. Noone wants opposite, we all want at basic level security comfort, to be happy etc. But enlightenment wont give you that, an enlightenment perceived in this manner wont give you that. Becasue there is none.

So what to do? Id recommend putting yourself in some stoic mindset to create discomfort to your ego, and pursue spirituality and exercises on daily basis i.e. self inquiry, fasting also helps

@Cody_Atzori Imagine experiencing all that you do but you are no longer identified with it. To the point it becomes just another state of being. It is no longer something you scurry to avoid. 

Are they insane or is unconscious people insane?

@Shadowraix idk it seems too detached 

Just what the ego wants you to think to stay established. It's very sneaky and will do anything it can to maintain control.

@Cody_Atzori Insanity is something that is established in relation to what society deems normal.
Unless you express your inner experience in destructive ways, it's nobody's business what you're going through.

So, it's only insanity if you're, let's say, murdering people.


Bearing with the conditioned in gentleness, fording the river with resolution, not neglecting what is distant, not regarding one's companions; thus one may manage to walk in the middle. H11L2
