Happiness Is Growth

We are born and we die. But in between there is opportunity. That opportunity is for happiness and one of the ingredients in happiness is growth.

Growth, or non-growth, is so pervasive in our society that one of the tenets of novel writing is that the characters must grow or change in some visible manner. One grows from a boy to man, another one grows from wicked to good, one grows from good to evil. The hero is flawed but his flaws are lessened or overcome as the story proceeds.

But this not only the stuff of fiction. It is also the material of real life. If one is not growing in this life, then one is dying. Such is the way of the world and the nature of that world. Would you be happy? Then you must grow.

First, you need to grow in your connection to The All There Is, which I will name Tathis - a combination of letters from The All There Is. Happiness resides in your relationship with this Tathis. It is you making yourself vibrate in resonance with Tathis. All the Universe is one gigantic vibrational field of which you are a real part.

You are an individuation of Tathis. When you remember who you are and what you are, you begin to align yourself with Tathis. You be still and know. You connect your mind and emotions with the vibrational field of the Universe.

This linkage with Tathis will grow over the days and years of your devotion to keeping that attachment alive and well. Sustained effort in making yourself resonate with the vibrations of the Universe will cause your happiness to grow and grow until nothing outside of yourself can destroy that happiness and the peace it brings.

Your mind and emotions will grow as you expand your happiness. Your happiness will grow as you expand your mind and emotions.

Second, you grow yourself by giving that happiness away. This is not depriving yourself of happiness, or decreasing the amount you have. Actually when you give love away in this manner you only increase it within yourself. You add to the well-intentioned vibrations of the Cosmos by offering what you have to others.

That offering can take more forms that I could possible mention in this space. But here are a few: Feed the hunger, shelter the unsheltered, clothe the naked, educate the ignorant, heal the sick, teach happiness to all who will listen, give sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, teach the sad to laugh, the teary-eyed to smile.

Third, understand that being happy and growing are neither virtue nor non-virtue. They are simply the meaning of life. For example, it seems that the meaning of the life of the Universe was to produce... us.

The meaning of the life of the Universe was to produce beings who could observe the comings and goings of the basic particles of life. In a way, this is what quantum science is about.
