Quote:I have been learning to love and accept my ego and in this processes the fact i am in this state of mind called earth (which varies in moods and possibilities) and that it is ok to be human and flawed and separate from the whole.
Yes it sure does vary. When we return to our innocence we can just let happy be happy, sad can be sad and so on. And it's OK.
It's Ok to be sad when someone hurts you, or abuses you or hurts others or abuses them. Or when you see a picture of emaciated children in Africa somewhere. Sometimes the Now is just not happy.
P.s. I also cry for gratitude and happiness and beauty every day or two so I must be really demented. Sometimes it's just too much.... happy, sad, joy, gratitude....I must be really confused. I think the question just caught me at the unhappy moment.

yes of course i still have ups and downs and stresses, mainly stresses, but these times don't damage me the way they used to because while dealing with difficulties my default position is still that of being happy, and what a gift that is, i have much to thank the Ra and Q'uo for in this respect as i don't think i could have found that internal stability so quickly had i not encountered the work of L/L Research
Lorna , I get what you are saying and I do feel the same way from that perspective. From the core of me and the spiritual perspective, all is well and all is loved and all is accepted. That is an internal stability, that I can tap into also.
I think "happiness" is maybe a bit of a superficial word to use in describing this deep sense of contentment and wellness. Considering the various catalysts we may be encountering in our lives, its just one emotion out of many many possibilities.

I agree with you Ali , we always have the choice to hold on to negative thoughts, or to change what we are thinking. And we can hold onto emotions in our body as well. I think the key with emotions is to be honest, and let them flow, and try to avoid getting stuck.
