How pursuit of happiness glogs up your emotions

The pursuit of happiness and “light” can cause us a lot of anxiety, especially if happiness is searched through spirituality. It gets even more troublesome when there is a ‘prize’ we’re after, such as a ‘True Emotion Mirror’. Suddenly, everyone is an expert on your happiness and goals, and you feel like you know nothing. Whatever made someone else happy, should work for you, too, shouldn’t it?

Wrong. No it shouldn’t – they’re them, you’re you.

The constant monitoring and re-balancing of your natural emotions can do you more harm than what that does good. All spiritual information and experiences should always be treated as examples, landmarks and guide posts, not as “be there at this hour or else you’ll fail” -type of advice. Don’t put the cart in front of the horse, and don’t pretend to be any better or any worse than you actually are – especially not to yourself. Enjoy all of your emotions freely, and work through them – the more you allow yourself to feel, the less power your “negative” emotions have over you. Learn how to feel them, don’t run from them or you’ll end up grotesque like a clown with a permanent smile on their face.

One emotion ideal that many of you maybe stuck with is the obligation to suffer for your love and feel pain and insurmountable sadness over the separation period with your True / Undecided Mirror. The love ideal is that “I will always love you”, but what if your emotions are really tied up to the ideal of it rather than your true feelings? (How to challenge your love for them.)

You are also subject to ideas of what MAY and MAY NOT, as in, what you are allowed to feel happy about and what you are not allowed to feel happy about; For example, you are “not allowed to” feel happy about an accident someone else had… But if that truly makes you laugh, maybe you should. The cost of it is that people might not like you as much, but the fact is that if you like people who are happy when others are sad would be your kind of people, and hiding your joy from others will keep these people from you, too. Also, people who are like this would do the rest of us a favour by actually showing their true colours rather than pretending they are not happy when we get kicked in the gut, wouldn’t they?
