Between The Fall and The Creation, I Surrender.
"The attainment of wholeness requires one
to stake one's whole being.
to stake one's whole being.
Nothing less will do;
there can be no easier conditions,
no substitutes, no compromises."
C. G. Jung
Be Happy Like a Child, For No Reason
For if there is a reason, It can be taken away.
Simple, Be, Surrendered,
The Gift, Rise In Love
No Reasons, ever.
“Question the concept of happiness.
The idea that everything we do is part of the pursuit of happiness seems to me a really dangerous idea and has led to a contemporary disease in Western society, which is a fear of feeling the full spectrum of normal and healthy human energies, our emotions.
It’s a really odd thing that we’re now seeing people saying
“write down 3 things that made you happy today before you go to sleep”,
and “cheer up” and “happiness is our birthright” and so on.
We’re kind of teaching our kids that happiness is the default position - it’s rubbish.
Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that
is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure;
all of those things which make us who we are.
Happiness and victory and fulfillment are nice little things that also happen to us,
but they don’t teach us much.
Everyone says we grow through pain and then as soon as they experience pain they say
“Quick! Move on! Cheer up!”
I’d like just for a year to have a moratorium on the word “happiness”
and to replace it with the word “wholeness”.
Ask yourself “is this contributing to my wholeness?”
and if you’re having a bad day, it is.”
But also remember, it is a bad day, not a bad life.
Don't stay stuck in any energy, clear them once you've felt them fully.
