Comments on: Creating Joy http://cheerfulmonk.com/2008/03/31/creating-joy/ Happiness As a Spiritual Practice Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:20:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jean http://cheerfulmonk.com/2008/03/31/creating-joy/comment-page-1/#comment-834 Jean Wed, 02 Apr 2008 20:10:30 +0000 http://cheerfulmonk.com/2008/03/31/creating-joy/#comment-834 Daz, :) Thanks for joining the conversation! I'll still stick to a bit of humility...to me it's connected with a sense of humor and also a sense of wonder and openness to new experiences. In my mind it has nothing to do with being self-effacing. You mention quantum physics. If that's not something that inspires wonder and awe, I don't know what will. Again, thanks! Daz,

Humility has become far too overrated in this modern world and is probably the reason we sometimes feel like the bird crashing into the window. Love yourself, put yourself first and then you aren't so bothered by the world and less likely to let a window get the better of you. We are infinite potential, we are far more than this meat shell that scratches out an existance caught between the obfuscations of religion where 'experts' tell you that they know what God wants and the guesswork of science where 'experts' tell you that you're just a random chance glob of chemicals. We are brilliant and with the new science, like quantum physics, combined with the 100% on record proof that psychics have a power that old science doesn't want to address - there is an answer, heck now we know how evolution really works, it's not a slow gradual process they still teach in schools (old science says birds evolved from dinosaurs but there are no evolutionary fossils of the transition, one day it's dinosaurs the next (geological record speaking) it's birds), it's dna being instantly rewritten once the earth reaches a certain position in the galaxy where energy (the energy that is heating up most of our local planets, even Pluto which is moving away from the sun yet warming up) will transmute our dna into a new evolutionary step. Stop being so humble! the answers are out there and the facts, cold hard provable facts, not the wishful thinking of religion and old science, say that we are far far more important and far far more connected to each other than ever before. The new age people say that love and compassion are the keys to getting yourself ready to accept the energetic changes that will happen as we cross into 2012!! I agree with 5 of the 6 commitments.

Brief in duration but long in lasting joy! There is an early to rise hummingbird that flits past my patio door most mornings while I’m having breakfast–that’s one of my unexpected joys of the day.

Todd, I clearly agree with you. I do think Russell's opinion makes great contrast...it makes it easier to see what we believe. Thank you both for coming by! bikehikebabe,

Its easy to live in the unconscious flow of life, but true joy and fulfilment can only be found through awakening. To be honest, I couldn’t agree less with the Bertrand Russell sentiment.

I have curiosity, learning, love & humor, but not enough to let more JOY into my life. Uh-oh, my life is too hectic.
