I think the idea of happiness is a human idea that has no basis is functional reality.
I think the reality is that there is a rich well of states of mind which flow organically from self, and there is no choosing to be happy (I find that forced and possibly a blocked state). One can feel joy, one can feel pain, one can feel frustration, one can feel blissful—but no one feeling is chosen to override the rest of the rich dynamic soup of experience that is 3D life.
One can make the archetypical conscious choice of STO or STS—and in that case, as STO one chooses "acceptance" over "control." So acceptance would be to allow all feelings, all catalyst, to be experienced. So in choosing happiness, one is, in my view, wanting to control the experience of this life.
That is not to say one can't take issue with the idea of the veil which precipitates suffering. But according to Ra we are all a part of this Logos so a part of that decision. I'm still slapping my forehead over that consensus.
