Happiness שמחה Simcha Sefer Shinuyim – The Book of Changes explains that “happiness” is a state of mind, an emotion within ones soul, a particular type of energy in ones thoughts and mind that allows a fast flowing physical and spiritual energy into ones life. The state of “Happiness” is the key to the flow of energy in ones life, the happier one is - the faster energy and more goodness that can flow into ones life. Whereas depression and “Sadness” blocks the flow of good life giving energy. The concepts of “Happiness” are often misunderstood, as “Happiness” often seems to be an illusion with many paradoxes in this physical life. In this Chapter we shall explain the following aspects of “Happiness”:- 1. The definition of “Happiness”, and how to find true “Happiness”. 2. The apparent contradictory paradoxes of “Happiness”, the concepts of “opposites”. Understanding why people laugh at other peoples "misfortune". Understanding the bigger picture of life and the harmony of Physical and Spiritual Happiness. 3. Understanding that physical "Happiness" is an illusion of the mind, like a dream. Explaining the purpose of living with an illusion of "Happiness" in life, and how to use the illusion of life to make the journey of life even more happier. 4. The concept of the external physical world influencing our internal mind thoughts and soul with “Happiness”. And the explanation of how to enable ones internal spiritual soul, mind and thoughts to be able to influence ones physical life with “happiness”. 5. Understanding the spiritual law that everyone has at least 8 very significant moments of happiness in their lives, gifts to everyones soul during everyones life. 6. The Source of True Happiness in this Physical Body is Within Ones Soul and is Awakened by Music. Understanding the reason for music, singing and humming as a key to eliminate sadness and awaken "happiness" within ones soul. 7. Understanding that the true purpose of “Happiness” is a spiritual gift to ones soul acting as a catalyst to allow-in and generate good spiritual energy for ones soul in order to help ones physical journey during life on earth. 1. The Definition of “Happiness”, and How To Find True “Happiness”. "Happiness" is a state of mind, an emotion of ones soul. The emotion of "Happiness" is the"Key" which opens up vitality and life-giving energy to flow into ones soul. The "Key of Happiness" is only given to a person whom is on the right pathway for their soul. It is considered an inner signpost to identify that one is following ones destined pathway. Those people who feel and know that they are on the wrong pathway of their life will never feel the sense of true "happiness". The desire and the need to search for "Happiness" is actually an inner desire from ones mind and soul to find ones true physical and spiritual destined pathway in this life. Everyone whom is following their true "destined pathway", living in the right place with the right people, will have an inner peace of mind, an inner contentment, a peacefulness and happiness. "Happiness" is a sense that GOD and the DIVINE spirit realms have blessed and guided ones life to a specific pathway where one has no doubts, no questions, with no decisions to be made by oneself, as one has found ones pathway by "trusting in GOD" that everything has happend, is happening and will happen in accordance with a DIVINE plan with specific reason for ones soul. For many people the search and desire for physical "happiness" is the emotion that motivates most people to live, endure difficulties, and accomplish goals in order to satisfy their personal beliefs of "Happiness". Sadly, whenever the desire for "happiness" is purely selfish and physical-only, a person will never feel fulfilled, and the search for physical "happiness" will follow a never-ending cycle of never being satisfied. Whereas, when the desire for "happiness" is used as a catalyst, the key to enable a flow of energy יניקה מלמעלה,"Yeneeka Milmaala", from spiritual realms for ones soul and physical body in order to make great purposeful accomplishments then such good creative energy will only enhance ones life and soul, where ones soul will exude a sincere happiness and inner contentment.
"אין שמחה כהתרת הספקות" "There is no greater happiness than the clarity of mind where one has no doubts" The main reason why most people are "UNHAPPY" is due to an insecure feeling of being on the "wrong pathway" in life. Doubts and indecisions leave a person feeling insecure. When one makes irreversable good decisions with NO DOUBTS, and a clear-thinking clarity of mind and soul, with a committment, this creates an inner happiness, as a person "knows" that they are on their true destined pathway for their soul. The state of indecisive doubting makes a person feel insecure, as there cannot flow a spiritual energy, יניקה מלמעלה,"Yeneeka Milmaala", to support many options for ones life, the spiritual energy only supports one pathway, hence remaining indecisive, doubting or "sitting on the fence" will prevent a person from being truly happy. The Divine spiritual energy can only flow into a persons life once a person has made an irreversable decision. Decision-making always brings great happiness, as a new vitality, a new energy is allowed to flow into ones life. Closing one door and opening a new door in life always brings great inner happiness. However one MUST be 100% certain that the door of the past is closed before a door for the future can open, with a new energy of happiness. Once an irreversable decision has been made a person always feels happy. This is the reason for great happiness at weddings, births and moving home, starting a new job, even finishing an old job, or escaping from bad relationships and especially divorces can be really the happiest moments of ones life if one was married to a really rotten selfish person ! As these are all positive decisions to have closure from the past, enabling a bright new future to begin with meaning and purpose. Living "Someone Elses Life" The other reason people feel unhappy is that one feels that one is living "someone elses life". One is being forced to do something to "fit in" with someone elses desires. This is exactly like giving-up ones personal soul and destiny for the sake of someone elses, one loses ones unique identity and freedom, hence within a short time one feels like a prisoner. Which leads to great unhappiness, as ones soul is being blocked from ones true life energy for ones soul by NOT receiving the energy that the DIVINE GOD is trying to give ones soul in order to accomplish ones unique purpose in life. How To Find True “Happiness” In understanding that true happiness is a sign within ones soul that one is following the correct pathway for ones soul, then "Happiness" will find a person automatically and instinctively, once a person has made good decisions and is following ones destined pathway. Thus the reason why even the poorest of people are happy, and some of the richest people are unhappy. Happiness is an inner feeling within ones mind, soul and thoughts that one is following the correct pathway for ones soul. Stealing other peoples pathways or choosing a pathway that is wrong for ones soul, will lead to further unhappiness, indecision and insecurity. When a person "finds oneself" then true happiness finds the person. Ones soul never really finds happiness, rather ones soul creates emotions and thoughts of happiness when one has found and is living ones correct pathway. When one goes searching for "physical happiness" from physical desires then a person will never find eternal inner contentment. For those people who search for physical "Happiness" will always feel a "lacking", that what they have found is not exactly what they imagined, and they want MORE. This is especially true from people who seek physical sexual loving relationships expecting someone else to fulfill them physically where, in reality no one is ever fully sexually satisfied physically. This is explained in the section 4 that physical "Happiness" is an illusion of the mind, like a dream. The Reasons for Unhappiness When a person is living in the wrong place, or mixing with the wrong people or doing the wrong job, and married to the wrong person, then one will feel disconnected from the DIVINE spiritual energy, and one will automatically feel unhappy, unsettled, lonely and depressed . Use the emotions of unhappiness as a sign to "WAKE UP", acknowledge that one is living the wrong type of life, learn to have the courage to make decisions and changes to ones life with a Trust in GOD and guidance from ones Spiritual Guardian Angels to make the right decisions to move forward to a happier life of purpose and fulfillment. Acceptance brings "Happiness" The moment a person honestly accepts that they are on the wrong pathway, even if one is still in a bad and unhappy situation, one will start to feel happy. Simply by accepting and saying "Oh Dear GOD, how i have made some silly mistakes and have found myself on the wrong pathway for my soul. Please GOD, help me find my true purposeful destined pathway", such a prayer starts the process of finding ones true pathway in life, and one will actually start to laugh inside and feel happy by making such a truthful statement. This acceptance of being on the wrong pathway will infact start events in ones life moving forward to finding and be guided to find the right pathway and inner happiness will start to grow.
Pray And Ask For Spiritual Guidance For everyone whom feels they are not on their correct destined pathway and hence do not feel an inner happiness and contentment with life. The Book of Changes - Sefer Shinuyim says - Light a Candle and pray for Spiritual Guidance. When a person lights a candle for spiritual help, admitting that one is unhappy because one is one the wrong pathway then ones soul will soon feel at peace and be able to see what one really needs to do to make the necessary changes in ones life in order to live ones true destined pathway, where one will feel fulfilled and happy. (The spiritual concepts of lighting candles in order to connect with DIVINE spirit world is explained at www.tikunim.com and on the "Prayers for Soulmate" page). מצוה גדולה להיות בשמחה תמיד "The Greatest (Mitzva) Spiritual Law is to be Happy Always" Ofcourse this saying isn't entirely true as there are greater spiritual laws! However, this saying is extremely important as a rule of good advice to help one get through the journey of life. Always being happy and learning to accept that everything that happens, everything that has happend and everything that will happen in ones life, happens for good, even the seemingly bad things, pain, losses and tragic events. Happiness gives a inner spiritual knowledge that everything occuring in ones life has reason, purpose and is in accordance with a DIVINE plan, in order to guide YOU to a better long term future. So be happy and learn to understand and accept that difficulties and problems in life are ones unique signposts guiding ones life. כל העולם כלו רק גשר צר מאד "The Whole World is like a Journey on a Very Narrrow Bridge The Main Point is NOT to be afraid. Trust in GOD, be Happy and Enjoy the Experiences of Life !"
2. The Apparent Contradictory Paradoxes of “Happiness” מאי חזית? אמר ליה עולם הפוך ראיתי עליונים למטה ותחתונים למעלה. אמר לו בני עולם ברור ראית. Rabbi Yoseph went into a spiritual visionary dreamstate and was allowed to take a glimpse at the eternal spiritual world. When he awoke, they asked him "what did you see?" He said he saw a world upside-down, the great and famous people where considered unimportant in spirit world. Whereas some of the poorest and most unimportant people in this physical world were considered to be the greatest souls in Spirit world. He awoke confused, but was assured by Rebi Yehoshua Ben Levi that in fact he had seen the true spirit world. This physical world and spiritual world are full of paradoxical contradictory opposites, as explained by King Solomon in Book of Ecclesiates. תלמוד בבלי מסכת פסחים דף נ עמוד א Talmud Pesachim Page 50a The Concepts of “Opposites” This physical world is full of misunderstandings, illusions and confusions, and many people continually ask "why do bad things happen to good people?" and "why do good things happen to bad people?" The DIVINE creator made this physical world with reason and purpose, even though "seemingly" things seem unjust and unfair, to the wise soul it is simply obeying "spiritual law of opposites". This physical planet earth is governed by laws of opposites and laws of magnetic attraction of opposites. As explained in the "Life of Love" chapter that "opposites attract" in order to teach, test and challenge each other. Once the lessons are learnt then there is no longer a need to learn from that difficult and challenging bad relationship. Similarly, with everything that happens in our lives, a challenging and "opposite" situation will prevail until we learn the lesson we need to learn. Having challenging situations in our lives teaches our souls immensely and then gives us the determination to change, once we have changed the "opposite" bad situation is no longer needed for our soul and we will start to feel happy. Understanding Why People Laugh At Other Peoples "Misfortune". There are 2 reasons why people laugh at other peoples misfortune:- 1. Looking at other peoples misfortune makes one feel lucky that the situation did not happen to oneself. When a person feels that a bad situation or incident could have happend to me and didnt happen to me, but happend to someone else, this makes a person feel saved, fortunate and happy. 2. On a spiritual soulful level, one is recognising that as an "unfortunate" situation is occuring to someone, this is actually cleansing, guiding, rectifying and healing their soul. The sense of laughter and happiness is from within ones mind and soul that understands spiritually the "misfortune" is part of the process to cleanse and guide the soul on its physical journey in this life. This is the reason why so many people laugh nervously, when something bad has happend, even to themselves. When a person has had a car accident or been burgled or just got divorced etc., to onlookers it looks like "misfortune" but sometimes the person actually laughs and is inexplicably happy inside. This is because ones soul is realising that this is just a sign and acting as a guide in ones life. Some of the worst situations a person can go through in this physical life, very often turn out in hindsight, to be the best "turning points" of ones life. Understanding the "Bigger Picture" of Life, Harmony of Physical and Spiritual Happiness. When a person comes to the maturity of understanding of life and the realisation that everything that happens for a reason, and provided one feels one is on ones correct pathway, or at least being guided back along the correct pathway for ones life then a person will automatically start to find a inner happiness. This inner "Happiness" within ones mind and soul comes with a Trust in GOD that everything is going to be alright. All the events of our physical life, good and bad, are simply part of a "bigger picture" of an eternal history of our souls journey through many reincarnations in many different lifetimes. Sometimes some facets our lives are easy and sometimes they are difficult, depending on the lessons our soul needs to learn in each of the stages of our lives. One guarentee is certain and that is there is a DIVINE plan for everything to happen and when our soul learns to pray and accept spiritual guidance, we become at peace within our mind and soul and radiate an inner harmonious happiness.
3. Understanding that Physical "Happiness" is an Illusion of the Mind, Like a Dream. הבל הבלים הכל הבל Book of Ecclesiates Chapter 1 verse 2 . The main foolishness of mankinds pursuit of the grossly materialistic lifestyle is that people work very hard for what they think will be a permanent home, family, or career. Then what upsets most people is WHEN they learn or experience that nothing is permanent. Something always happens sooner or later to disrupt or take away what they have been working to accomplish or acquire. כחלום יעוף "Like A Dream" The Spirit Soul only "imagines" and "pretends" that he or she is in a physical body. Yes, the body is real, and so is a dream, but only as long as the person does not wake up from the dream. Once one awakes, then one sees through the illusion of the experience, regardless of how real the dream may have seemed to be. Similarly, as a person enjoys or suffers in a dream, life on the material plane is also illusionary, full of joys and sorrows of short duration that have little to do with the Eternal Spiritual Soul. In this way, without proper regard for our souls spiritual identity, one believes one is a "permanent" part of this temporary world ! All Suffering Exists Only Within the Illusion No matter what kind of suffering we may feel, whether it is hunger, the need for sleep, our anger, jealously, anxiety, fear of something, such emotions and suffering are ONLY connected with physical bodily concerns, that is the physical-only existence of physical life. In the Eternal DIVINE Spiritual World, our soul doesn't suffer any of the pains of this physical life. Therefore in exactly the same way a person stops feeling the joys or pains of a dream as soon as one awakes, likewise, connecting spiritually and disconnecting physically eliminates physical suffering. The more spiritually-minded we become the less any physical suffering will affect our existence. The more physical and materialistic we become the more physical suffering exists. Illusion of Dreams This material physical world is an illusion of flickering dreams and commodities that are "Here today, gone tomorrow," this uncertainty of the "future" with our numerous physical attachments is the cause of all anxiety. We become so attached to our spouses, (just for the physical sexual pleasure, even if they are not our true soulmate), children, wealth, house, property, or our jobs/careers that trying to hold on to them puts us in a position which creates most of our worries. Remember we owned NOTHING when we entered this physical life and will be able to take nothing with us when we leave this physical life, everything that we have is, on temporary loan to us, given by GOD to help us through the journey of life. Just like a dream - where we own nothing thought we owned in the dream ! "The Wrong Aims of Life" Leads to Never Being 100% Satisfied and Happy Believing in a "Physical-only" life brings one to the wrong aims of life, where the emphasis is toward selfish material acquisitions and physical enjoyments. This is part of keeping one in the illusion. For example, when we have worked hard in our life and have struggled to attain a house, and are surrounded by wife or husband, children, community, have an education, a career, or whatever else we have wanted, sometimes we feel very happy and sometimes we are completely unsatisfied. What once was like nectar in the beginning can become like poison in the end. When something is new it may be exciting, but after some time it can get dry and tasteless. That's the nature of the material physical world. יש לו מנה ... רוצה מאתים מדרש רבה קהלת א יג "When a person has a 100 silver coins he then wants 200 silver coins" A person may feel that he has attained his goals, but such happiness soon gives way to the next desire or goal, or even the next problem. The fact of the matter is that one who cannot control his senses comes under the control of never-ending material desires. One with uncontrolled senses never feels satisfied with what he has for long. He always wants more or something new. Thus, without realizing it, he is forced to act on those desires for more and more prizes, accomplishments, and possessions. His life often becomes more complicated, and the happiness he longs for keeps alluding him, like the donkey chasing after the carrot. The donkey does not understand that the more he chases after the carrot, the more he is merely serving a master. Thus, the materialist is forced to continue to serve his unquenchable thirst for material enjoyment at the dictates of the master, known as his mind and senses. Yet as time goes on, he may question the course of action he has taken. He may indeed look around and wonder why he has not attained the happiness for which he had hoped. He sees that time has slipped away. In fact, he may be an old man, and if he has not kept himself so busy that he has no time to reflect on life, he may start to worry that death is drawing near. His friends may start to die off, giving a warning sign that his turn may be next. At that time, he may feel that all of his prizes, possessions, and property and wealth, have lost the meaning that they once had. They cannot protect him from death, and he has made no spiritual progress to console himself of what future lies ahead of him. Without proper spiritual knowledge, a person is left with nothing but his own ignorance for his counsel in trying to figure what to do. Thus, at death, the materialist is taken away from everything he had worked for and everything that had given him any pleasure, and another life goes by without gaining any substantial understanding of the true purpose of it. Wrong Ambitions and Their Results As we can see from the above description, and by looking around and noticing the general pattern in which most people are engrossed, those people who are trapped by the desire to enjoy material life cannot understand the real goal of earthly existence. One who is overly attached to the objects of material happiness cannot understand that he is wasting precious time by working to merely maintain house and home. The real purpose of life is to realize the Absolute Spiritual Truth of GOD and the eternal Spiritual realms, and that chance is spoiled by the pursuit of too many materialistic goals. A foolish person cannot understand that life offers the chance for real liberation, freedom from the limitations that capture a person while in this material creation of this physical world, and freedom from the essential problems of life, starting with birth, disease, old age and death. Unfortunate as it may be, those interested in enjoying a so-called beautiful life, surrounded by family and friends, and searching after wealth, think that such things are life's ultimate goal. Such people never find life's true purpose nor inner happiness. Thus, they are forced to go through many lifetime reincarnations engaged in the same pursuits. In this way, the conditioned soul continues to wander throughout the world in various lives searching after the same happiness as always. In the search for material physical happiness he is ever neglecting the way toward real spiritual freedom from this entrapped physical life. A spiritually enlightened soul whom trusts in GOD is never interested in anything that is temporary. When he or she has learnt the true pleasures of spiritual-minded life, such a person will engage in the spiritual pursuits that deliver one to the unlimited happiness within the Eternal DIVINE and Absolute Spiritual Truth, by connecting with the eternal DIVINE spiritual world. The Spiritually minded person rather uses their minds and soul to connect from within to the Eternal Spiritual world which provides ones soul with energy, peace and inner happiness rather than wasting futile time pursuing physical-only pleasures, that will never satiate the soul with happines. The Purpose of Living with the Illusion of "Happiness" in Life. Quite simply, without the "illusion of happiness" many people would give-up on life and even commit suicide ! The purpose of the illusion of this physical life is order to give everyone hope for a better future, a desire to live, work, love, have children and accomplish goals. During an introspective period of ones life, especially during a "midlifecrisis", where one awakens spiritually, one then sees glimpses of spiritual "reality". There is a danger during such a time in ones life to be totally disillusioned by life, as one sees the depressing futility of the physical-only life, and the total meaningless of everything one has achieved. However, "DONT GIVE UP !" It is simply the "transformation period" where one recognises the fulity of what one has done in the past, learning to stop focusing on the external physical world and starting to focus on the eternal spiritual world, on ones soul and on ones unique connection with the eternal DIVINE spiritual realms from within ones mind, thoughts and soul. How to Use the Illusion of Life to Make the Journey of Life even more Happier. There is no way to use the illusion of this physical life ! The illusion is like a dream ! As soon as one awakes the illusion vanishes. Similarly when a person "wakes-up" spiritually, the shock maybe disorientating, however, after a short time one then becomes accustomed to the new reality of having a soul and being connected with the DIVINE eternal spiritual world, through ones mind, thoughts and soul. "Nothing Physical Lasts Forever". The good thing about the illusion of life is that "Nothing Lasts Forever", so if one is in a difficult or painful situation, physically or mentally - there is no need to worry - as sooner or later it will dissappear, as "Nothing Physical Lasts Forever". "Spiritual Truth" is not physical, material nor temporary. It is the eternal knowledge of the soul and of the eternal DIVINE SPIRIT OF GOD - the creator of this Universe. 4. The Concept of the External Physical World Influencing Our Internal Mind, Thoughts and Soul with “Happiness”. Once a person has awakened to the reality that this physical life is an illusion, then one begins to focus upon higher spiritual thoughts. Ones focus is taken from the external physical world and is now concentrated on ones inner mind, thoughts and soul. As explained on "Life of Peace of Mind", the interaction between this physical world and our inner spiritual soul can either be :- The external physical world influences the state of our mind, thoughts and soul OR our inner spiritual soul which is connected to the eternal DIVINE spirit influences our physical body and radiates an energy from our soul to energize our physical surroundings and the people we connect with. Similarly with respect to happiness, when a person lives and works in order to have the money to buy "happiness", that is to buy physical items that one believes will make a person "happier", this is identifying a persons character as one who wants to live a physical-only materialistic existence and only wants to allow the physical world to influence ones mind and soul by the illusion of physical life. Whereas, when a person makes the decision to change and refuses to be fooled by the illusion of life, then one STOPS pursuing ways to "buy happiness" and starts to realise that "happiness" is contained within ones soul, mind and thoughts. Explanation of How to Enable Ones Internal Spiritual Soul, Mind and Thoughts to be Able to Influence Ones Physical Life with True “Happiness”. When a seed is planted, nurtured, watered it will inevitably grow into a wonderfully large plant. Similarly, with respect to our thoughts, each thought we have is like a seed, that needs to be nurtured. When a person focuses on any really funny and happy moment of ones life then suddenly ones mind is full of happiness and aliveness. Just STOP what you are doing and think back in your life to something really funny that happend to you - SUDDENLY - your mood will change, and your mind will change from being bored, tired or depressed (especially if you are reading this website whilst stuck in a boring job in an office !) . A happy and funny thought is like a seed, the longer on thinks about this funnny thought, the more happiness one will energize ones mind with. Focus on Happy Thoughts Here are just a few concepts to think about whilst cultivating happy thoughts:-
The Soul is a "Magnifying Glass" Whatever we think about in our mind, are soul has the power to magnify the energy of that thought. Hence when people have a thought of fear, the soul is used to magnify this more than reality. Whereas, when we think of a happy and funny thought, our soul magnifies this thought and feels our mind, thoughts and soul with even more happiness. The more one learns to be appreciative and say "THANK YOU GOD", the more one will actually have plenty of reasons to say "Thank you GOD". Being Freed from a Difficult Situation The reason for difficult situations that many of us endure in our lives, is in order to be so appreciative and thankful to GOD when it is finally over. Anyone whom has to endure suffering, whether physical, mental or abusive, when the suffering ends, and changes occur it is amazing to feel the freedom from such a difficult situation. Which then makes a person really appreciative of this wonderful gift of life, and will indelibly always have a happy nature, knowing that one has had ones life saved, and how life could have been far worse !
5. Understanding the Spiritual Law that Every Person in the World is Guaranteed "Eight Exceedingly Happy" Moments in Life. Sefer Shinuyim, the Book of Changes (According to Zohar Kabbala learnt in Parsha Shmini in Vayikra from Aharon haCohen) teaches that every single soul that comes to earth is guaranteed a minimum of 8 exceedingly happy moments in life, at least one every 7 years. This spiritual law of 8 happy moments in ones life, applies to everyone and these moments come even if we do NOTHING. They are spiritual gifts given by GOD to our soul to help us through life. The wise person uses the memories of these happy moments, at difficult or even during a potentially depressing times to generate an inner happiness and connection to the eternal DIVINE spiritual world as these 8 moments of happiness are gifted happy energy from Spiritual world to ones soul, and hence by thinking of these moments one is connecting ones soul with Spiritual world. In this way the energy of happiness continues to shine a light even in the dark moments, giving a persons soul hope, renewed faith that everything happens for a reason in life, in accordance with a DIVINE plan of destiny which lightens the burden of pain, knowing that it is a fulfillment of spiritual laws and in accordance with ones actions, words and thoughts. So use this spiritual law to always maintain a happy state of mind, with an inner glow. For example, when a child goes to the dentist, we always tell the child to close their eyes and think of something happy and nice which helps to take the pain away or we promise the child a present after going to the dentist to entice the child to suffer a little pain for something good ! Similarly anyone who has had heartache and pain caused by horrible people, FORGET about them, have Closure and Protect oneself from allowing them to upset you and most importantly ALWAYS think of the 8 exceedingly happy moments you have been blessed with in your life. During every moment of every day, a truly grateful and spiritual person always has a focus on the 8 happy moments of life, giving thanks to GOD for the blessing of those 8 gifted moments and being saved from difficult situations and from getting involved with bad people. It is spiritual law that "like attracts like", and once a person is glowing with happiness more occurences will happen in ones life to make a person even happier ! Connect Spiritually by Remembering the 8 Happy Moments The way to break the unhappy, depressing, negative and complaining cycle of thoughts in ones life is to say "THANK YOU", learn to always be appreciative of ones blessings, and always renergize ones soul by connecting with Spiritual world by remembering the 8 happy moments that the eternal DIVINE Spiritual world has blessed your soul with during this physical life. The reason why remembering these 8 happy moments of ones life will connect a person spiritually and energize ones mind, thoughts and soul is because these 8 happy moments were given by Spiritual world as gifts to ones soul. Remembering these 8 moments connects ones mind and soul in thanks and happiness to the eternal source of happiness - GOD - The eternal DIVINE creator of everything in this physical universe and in spiritual realms.
6. The Source of True Happiness in this Physical Body is Within Ones Soul and is Awakened by Music. Sefer Shinuyim, the Book of Changes, teaches that singing brings on happiness. Singing is a self expression of ones soul. "Humming" Ones Spirit is contained in the power of speech and in the unique voice you have. Especially "humming" as this energy of music is heard privately by you and your soul, and very often a person expresses their moods and prayers whilst "humming", this is because spiritually humming awakens the happiness within ones soul, and is a act of self expression and identity of ones soul. As you wake up in the morning and if feeling a little heavy and depressed, try humming and singing, give thanks that you have woken up and look forward to a happy day with positive attitude ... sing your song of happiness with a song and "hum" ! Understanding the Reason for Music, Singing and Humming as a Key to Eliminate Sadness and Bring-in Happiness into Ones Soul. "Sounds" from ones voice are just like ones "vision" which are windows of the soul - sounds bring about present moment. Most depressed people are normally dull and quiet people, or listen to depressed music, but never sing ! Throughout all of recorded history, especially from the Book of Samuel and Book of Psalms of King David, music has always been important as a creative expression of the soul, a way of opening-up spiritually and connecting to the eternal DIVINE spiritual world. Spend a few minutes a day humming, singing and ones soul will start to open-up with happiness. And for anyone who is depressed or ill in bed, i suggest they should hum and sing, and soon they will feel happy, once a persons mood changes to be happy, then spiritual healing can begin and a persons life can start to change for the better with true happiness. 7. Understanding that the True Purpose of “Happiness” is a Spiritual Gift to Ones Soul. In exactly the same way that the 8 especially happy moments in ones life are gifts from Spirit world to everyones soul, similarly true happiness is a gift of spiritual energy for ones soul, given to energize and give one the energy to accomplish ones purpose in life, especially if that purpose is of Selfless Service serving other people through ones spiritual gifts. "Happiness" Acts as a Catalyst to Allow-In and Generate Good Spiritual Energy for Ones Soul in Order to Help Ones Physical Journey During Life on Earth. "Happiness"- "Simcha" שמחה, is a wonderful gift from Spirit world that gives our soul, emotions and thoughts an amazing energy which makes the difference of the way we live, work and behave. "Being happy" from within radiates and exudes an energy which has the power to change ones life irreversably. Learning to enjoy the journey of life, never worrying and always accepting with happiness everything that happens every moment of our lives, knowing that this physical world is only an illusion and physical pain will dissappear once we awake from this "dream" we call life. Meanwhile, let us all THANK GOD for the gift of life, and learn to enjoy the journey of life, with a song of joy, even if we cant sing , let us try humming and awaken our soul !
