Happiness... impossible or inevitable

[Ming the Merciful]

Happiness... that word has too much baggage attached to it.

Yes I think the word tranquility is a nice replacement for how I personally see happiness.

Just as we deduced that using the expression "All Is Well" is not useful because of too much baggage, it seems I will need to stop using the word "happiness" for the same reason.

We are all overlooking something here? It is not one emotion or another. Emotions are just that, emotions. As I said earlier, we must rise above emotions to reach the Higher Self. When we are attached to emotions, (any emotions), then we are allowing ourselves to exist on a lower Emotional Level, and the Lower Emotional State. When we are in deep Meditation, do we feel emotions? If people expect to advance to the transmutation and the next Density, then part of the process of the evolutionary transition would be controlling our Emotional States. Being attached to your emotions is lack of development, because we are still allowing the Gross Mind to be in control.

In meditation, do feel, see and are love.  Some people see this as emotion, I see it as what I am.  Just a thought

Nikki, I totally agree. Love is considered as a higher emotion because whereas the other emotions are inward feelings, (and directed to the Self), while love is an outward emotion. Also, when we are in Meditation, we are also in a state of Higher Consciousness.
