Philosopher Aristotle famously said: “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” The Book of Proverbs in the Old Testament proclaims: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (simply stated, “laughter is the best medicine”).
From an Akashic Records perspective, we are always happy. It is the essential nature of our being. In our human journey through time and space, we have the blessed opportunity to acclimate to our fundamental happiness.
What made me happy 10 years ago, might not make me happy today. What really made you happy as a teenager, may not be the same thing that would make you happy as an adult. It has a lot to do with appropriateness and about being pleased. It is not about being delirious, but it is about being appropriate and in alignment with who we are. This requires a certain degree of self-acceptance.
Our evolutionary journey is organized around our growing awareness of our goodness, the perfection of our soul, and the overwhelming unconditional love we have for ourselves and others. These are obvious and simple ideas when we are spirits floating out in space but once we slip into our human vehicles it is much more difficult for us to comprehend.
The great challenge of being human is to know these truths while we are still in bodies with all the ordinary “stuff” that people face. We are infinite beings here on Earth in finite bodies for a finite amount of time. It’s our opportunity to let go of all restriction, inhibition, and limitation with regard to our appreciation for who and what we are as people.
As we come to recognize that everything we encounter is conspiring to wake us up to the light of our soul and the presence of the divine, we naturally shift into a consciousness of peace, serenity, and happiness. Do we still experience physical and emotional pain? Of course! Do we still experience conflicts and worries? You bet!
Remember that our soul’s purposes and intentions determine our physical reality, whether our body and its health, our relationships with others, or the condition of our finances.
Through the Records, we can identity the connections and direct our attention to the point of power to effect change. The point of power is always and only in the present moment. Working in the Records makes it easier to hold steady in the “now” to behold the signal for the next right step. Sometimes the next best step is an action. Other times it is appropriate to be still and refrain from taking action. Sometimes all we can do is shake our heads and laugh at the complexities of our human situation! It’s all perfect.
Interacting with our soul awareness through the Records is a way that leads us into ever expanding states of happiness. Noticing and honoring the truths of our soul is the key to ongoing, ever-expanding states of happiness.
In the Records, it is very clear. The more conscious I am of my own soul, and the more aware I am of this relationship with the innermost part of my very being, the result is Happiness.
