The underlying joy of simply being. Q. Thank you for the video. Are you always in a blissful state or do you also experience other emotions such as anger, frustration or sadness?
A. I would say bliss is always available, it's our natural state. It just seems to be obscured by mental activity based in resistance to what's happening.
Bliss feels like a quiet love that can blossom at times into pure joy and then settle back down in underlying contentment. It's not conditional, so it's not dependent on outside circumstances. It's a baseline of undulating joy.
There might be a momentary contraction appear, but it very quickly dissipates, leaving no residual after effects. I haven't noticed any anger or sadness. I have twice noticed a flat feeling and because it was quite different, I could see the mind wanted to create a story around it but I didn't go there and it the experience dissipated by itself.
I haven't lost a loved one since the recognition of the truth of simply being. So I can't speak how that would be, but my life circumstances have been up and down like everyone', but it's very different now I don't suffer them, I can see what we fundamentally are is totally free from the surface potential to suffer. Thanks for the question I enjoyed feeling into that. 🙏🏼💗
