Clearing Your Mind For Happiness

Are you happy with yourself and with your life? In all probability that there are things that you would want to alter about your life and you, yourself – I’ve rarely met anyone who’s unconditionally happy. People frequently believe that if they improve themselves, lose weight, buy a new car, have really cool holidays that, then, they’ll be happy. But, that happiness, however, is transient and superficial. True happiness has to be lasting and not dependant on having this or doing that.

The only place that you find happiness is within. Sadly, that is way beyond the range of protected from them by what psychologists call ‘The Sentry’, a defense mechanism that we all have that prevents others getting into our heads where they would then be able to brainwash us. The big problem is that this ‘Sentry’ keeps us out as well! For a very good reason – or, at least, it would appear reasonable until you take a closer look at how we operate – our beliefs about how the world operates and ourselves are stored in our subconscious. You wouldn’t want to go messing with that stuff, would you? Or would you? Because most of us believe ourselves to be inadequate at least in some aspect of our lives, most of us aren’t totally happy with who we think we are. That’s because our beliefs aren’t grounded in fact but on a build-up of what we call the conditioning or programming that we were subjected to during what you might call your formative years. This programming or conditioning is the source of both your unease with yourself and, just as importantly, everything that you believe to be wrong in your life.

What passes for reality is created by our beliefs – it is those beliefs that automatically dictate our behavior, our actions, our reactions and our interactions with everybody else. It is through this process that we, ourselves, create our version of reality. What’s going on in your head, at a deep subconscious level, literally creates your life. And it isn’t real, it’s concocted from what others did to us or for us during those formative years. So of course you’d want to go messing with your beliefs, because normal beliefs hold normal people back.

You need to mess with your beliefs. You need to get to the real, inner you, to find true happiness – that is where you’ll discover a you that is unstained by the crap of normal conditioning, unspoiled by the deeply held beliefs that mess up our so-called normal lives – silly beliefs that keep us in our place – like we should know our place, like you have to work hard to be a success, like pleasure/pain principle, that pride comes before a fall – fill in your own list.

Forget all that nonsense. Indeed, forget about who you thought you were and discover who you really are – and the kind of life that you can really have. Your mind’s obsessed with the normal crap – stop it. I teach my clients various forms of ‘mental calming measures’ – meditation if you will – you need to calm down, wake up and see the light. Only then you will find true happiness.
