Happiness and Interior Experiences
“The experience of happiness has nothing to do with a given event. There is no connection between exterior events and interior experiences.” Neale Donald Walsh
I was driving home from work last night to a place called ‘the acreage’ in Florida. It was peaceful. I was overtook by the feeling of being in a pretty, little bubble, knowing that if it weren’t for the internet, I could remain in peaceful bliss — not knowing of ICE or the Epstein Files, or the wars in the world, or about our fascination with overconsumption that is literally killing our planet.
I could bury my head in the sand. I wondered to myself, why wasn’t that the correct thing to do? Afterall, I am powerless to stop ICE — and all of the other SHIT going on.
I believe that Neale Donald Walsh is correct in that I am the one in control of my experience. I can both acknowledge the SHIT going on — fight it when appropriate — and also celebrate bringing new life into this world.
Titrate — it’s a new word for me.
Titrate the information into my being in manageable pieces that do not render me powerless.
Trump and his cronies would like to see us all powerless.
We are not.
