Divine Utterances:
Happiness

All beings are always already Happy.

"The Bodily Location of Happiness" (November 28, 1981)
The Bodily Location of Happiness

Things in the world need not be wonderful before you can Be Happy.

Bliss is the nature of consciousness. . . There are a lot of "someplace elses", but they will be no more blissful for you than this place if you are not already Blissful.

"Vital Shock"
My "Bright" Word

The achievement of Happiness is always minimal, temporary, and ultimately unattainable. You cannot become Happy. You can only be Happy.

The Lesson

If you do not practice Happiness, you will never Realize "It". Either you practice Happiness, or you practice un-happiness. You pay Me now or you pay Me later!

Children should enjoy a feeling, breathing relationship with the Mystery, the Divine Reality, and Truth. They must learn to recognize the Happiness that is felt in relationship to the Mystery.

Look at the Sunlight on the Water

Don't count your chickens before they achieve ecstasy.

We must surrender to the point of Ecstasy in this Chaos of joy.

In every moment, you know exactly what it would be to look and feel and act completely Happy. But you are waiting to be made happy by something that happens to you, some "experience" from "without", or some arbitrary opening "within".

Understand your un-Happiness. Then you will be capable of locating Happiness, and, having located Happiness, you will be capable of practicing the Way of Adidam, which is nothing but the devotion of life to Happiness.

The Unconditional Reality Is Modified (but Only Apparently) As The conditional Reality. This Must Be Realized. Until This Truth Is Realized, all conditional experience Is A School With A Single Lesson. This Is The Lesson (The Lesson Of Life): "I" Cannot Become Happy. "I" Can Only Be Happy.

The Dawn Horse Testament

We live the Law backwards. Instead of living from the point of view of Happiness, love of God, submission to the Transcendental Reality, we live in submission to others, objects, relations.

"The Ultimate Location"
Chapter 14, The Dreaded Gom-Boo

Consider what you know. You do not even know what a single thing is. Then rest-abide in that Ignorance, as whatever is the case, not within what arises, but as what arises, as the body itself, whatever is the case altogether (which is not knowable, but with which one is identical). Rest-abide in my Presence as whole body attention, not waiting within for changes, but in love. Do, feel this more and more perfectly. Radiate as whole body happiness. Be happy as the body altogether. Look, feel, act, be completely happy as whatever is the case, whatever the body is altogether, under the conditions of whatever is Persist in this under all conditions.

Breath and Name

Renunciation in the Way of Adidam is a commitment to ecstasy. Renunciates are about ecstasy, not dried-up, conventional lawfulness.

Everything in the sacred domain is about ecstasy. Everything in the social (or secular) domain is about control of ecstasy and using the human faculties (of body, emotion, mind, and breath) for other (generally, non-ecstatic—or ego-based) business in the moment.

"My Call for the Universal Restoration of the Sacred (or Central) Domain of Human Life"
Eleutherios

The Mystery, or Happiness, is greater than death. Everyone who has ever lived has died. But the Mystery goes on and on.

adaptation for children, The Knee Of Listening

Children also suffer, but they do show this Life-sign of a spontaneous commitment to the Motive of Ecstasy Itself, of True Joy. This is why their company is pleasing — because they, without all the baggage of adults (in their suffering at any rate), rather typically show the sign of this commitment that is fundamental to being human, to being born.

August, 1987

Real life, then, the higher evolutionary process, is a basic matter of surrendering from the heart in every moment and feeling to the point of dissolution or ecstasy.

The body-mind is a mere appearance floating in the Infinite Sea of Undifferentiated Happiness Which you visit, by My Grace, in Communion with Me, and even touch upon daily in the Grace of sleep. So much for death, then. So much for the daily news.

"The Infinite Sea of Undifferentiated Happiness" (August 15, 1995)
The Completing Discourses of the 25-Year Revelation

What is the Truth? We are Happy. We live in God. The Great One is our very Being. We inhere in the Blissful, Forceful Being of the Starry God, the Wonder, the Mystery, the Person of Love. This is our Situation and our Destiny.

The Dreaded Gom-Boo

The true man or woman yields to the process of experience as to a lover. . . Experience, whether positive or negative, coincides with ecstasy in the case of devotees of the Real. They are sacrificed in any case, spoiled with wounds, and ultimately eaten by a mysterious lover. Lovers do not fear dissolution. . .

For such a one, knowledge is only a convention of ordinary order and thinking, whereas love is the method whereby the secret purposes of the universe are fulfilled.

The Enlightenment of the Whole Body

The thing that makes you unhappy is your own contraction. That's it, absolutely!

The Knee Of Listening

Come to Me when you are already Happy.

"Come to Me When You Are Already Happy"
The Way That I Teach

The joy of God-Communion must exceed the pleasure of sex.

The Man of Understanding is constantly Happy with you. He is overwhelmed with Happiness. . . He smiles at you. You notice a sudden "Brightness". Everything has already died. This is the "other" world.

The Knee Of Listening

The Horse Is Happy. Pass the salt.

Adidam is a hard School, but a happy Way of life.

Spiritual life is about Realizing utter Love-Bliss, greater Bliss than is realized through sex or any other conditional experience.

"This Liberating Impulse" (February 1, 1985)
Easy Death

To love is to be happy or Radiant as the whole body to Infinity.

Not a single circumstance of "experience" is the Truth. Love Is the Truth, Love Is Happiness, and It turns you toward the destiny of Real God. If you will enter into that Communion, you will vanquish the Evil One, you will make "holy war" on the lovelessness in the "world", you will demand the Spiritual conversion of the Earth, and you will absolutely transform human existence. So be free. Love God.

This is Wisdom: Always relax into the pains and circumstances of experience, and so remain in Communion with Life, rather than in confrontation with the modifications of Life. Relax into Life rather than react to experience. Do this consistently, under all circumstances, and thus remain always free, happy, Full of Life, and disposed toward loving self-release in all relationships. This is the Human Foundation of Morality.

The Enlightenment of the Whole Body

Let us surrender into Infinity with all our friends and hold on to no thing or condition that ever appears. Let us forget all things in present Happiness, and so forgive the universe for all its playful changes. Let us always love one another, and so forgive one another for appearing, for changing, and for passing out of present sight. So be it.
