The True Source of Peace and Happiness

Thursday 09 December 2021

True Source of Peace and Happiness

The awareness of being is not a new experience. It is the most intimate and familiar experience that we know, although it’s usually overlooked in favour of the content of experience. Being seems to recede into the background of experience, such that we feel cut off from it, so we do not feel its innate peace and joy. Here we soften the focus of attention from thoughts, feelings, sensations, and so on, and allow the simple fact of our being to emerge from the background of experience. Sooner or later, when the world fails to provide happiness, we return to our being, the true source of peace and happiness. This return to our being is the essence of meditation or prayer, a direct path to peace and happiness. We learn to remain in touch with being and feel its innate peace continually in the background, sometimes overflowing into the foreground as quiet joy and happiness.
