Immutable Happiness

(Audio + Mandala)

There once was a being that was really curious about this thing humans called “Happiness” and so his curiosity grew so much he decided to study it. Picking up all his courage and enthusiasm, he went on the journey to understand the so desired happiness everyone talked about.

The being noticed that in the vast space of potential there were even other beings that have developed mostly just this quality. He went to go talk to those beings which he decided to go for the most respected ones such as Ganesha, Lakshmi, Wangmu Niangniang, Fuxing, Bastet, Euthychia, Hotei, and Lalita.

The enthusiasm and genuine curiosity allowed him to experience each energy and concept which these beings called happiness. He understood why humans so desired for this and he learned of things such as laughter, health, wealth, abundance, luck, and peace. Each being having their own unique spin to it but all being carried by the same energy in the background of it all.

He thought “I wonder what that energy in the background is all about” but left it aside for just a moment. As he recognized the happiness in him, he noticed that there were humans that actually embodied this quality and he decided to talk to them as well to see the perspective of the humans on this. He talked to people like Thich Nhat Hanh and the so called Laughing B**uddha which both of them had a quality of stillness and peace that helped carry this happiness. He learned that these human went through a process they called “Transcendence” and while there were hundred of models he saw one that took his interest.

The Maslow which defined all the needs a human conceptualize**s and even the effect of embodying them from needs to havingness. Along each path the quality of happiness getting more pure every step of the way until the human became a singularity that is able to express anything they wished.

The being was fascinated by this because the humans that got to the point of “Self Transcendence” felt the same as the background energy that carried the happiness.

Now he was really curious and so decided to follow the energy itself and find out what it was. After a bit of a journey he found himself in an essence that was impossible to describe with words but he could recognize that it was part of him all along as well.

He asked “Who are you” and the essence replied, “I am you”.

“Me? No, I am me. So who are you?”

The essence replied in a simple manner that stripped all confusion, “I am the I am in you”.

Suddenly the being got to the highest quality of happiness he has experienced thus far and was quick to ask “What is this!!?”.

The essence responded, “It is the essence of all, the vitality of all this in its purest form, Love.”

The being was immediately humbled by the vastness of the feeling and suddenly understood that happiness is the full embodiment of Love from its purest form.

“Source love” he said. From that point on he was satisfied and decided to go on his way with pure gratitude understanding all that he needed.

The being felt that it was now his duty to provide humans with a tool to help them on their journey to happiness for those that so desired to accept the help. So he gathered all the energies, concepts, and understanding and made a tool he called…

“Immutable Happiness”

He sent it on to earth and across the universe in one flash where he felt that his existence was of use and now could move on.

“Be happy friends, it’s worth it.” as his body became more translucent by the second and finally disappearing.

anon51280824:

I am glad im off today because i trully want to go through all this is bringing.

First i cried and cried and cried but like not uncontrollably more like tears kept pouring down my cheeks. Feeling like everything moving inside like a vacuum opening sucking in and then out evrything that must leave so new light and energy (of genuine contentment can fill all up)

I played it like 5 times i think lol

Then i felt i needed some loops of Crucible series and Smart Cord Cutter and i felt so good. I was ready for next level:

And uncontrollable laughter, giggling like a happy child

And Then… BLISS. LOVE FOR EVERYTHING AROUND, HIGHER COMPASSION, KINDNESS, UNDERSTANDING.

Almost like bubbles inside tickling me

MOOD.

I feel like i need a nap now. But im sure this will keep going, digging deep, bringing to the surface, tears of joy and old sadness, euphoria, chill vibes and again in the coming days.

Until itll be only joy felt everywhere all the time.

Thank you for this Captain and the members of the group

Luna back with a second review (but who’s next? )

Cambrian in

Cambrian:

Initially, I thought this field manifested itself as consistency to me. It repaired broken tiles on the floor of the path behind me, and made me experience the things I was already experiencing, but in a much stronger and deeper way - Happiness, Joy, Bliss, that lovely peace in the mind, and the inner feeling that life is perfect.

This consistency is important for N reasons, but I think the most important one is making it much easier to live in a flow state. When my state of being is fragmented throughout the day, I tend to subconsciously keep checking for things that are causing this fragmentation, and this makes it much more difficult to live in a flow state. Therefore this consistency I’m speaking about creates an echo confirmation that I really managed to achieve the state I wanted, and that I can stop searching for small broken tiles on the path behind me. I also get a feeling things that need to be worked on will become crystal clear with all that noise gone, and things naturally snowball from here.

Think about the total surface growing in size, and the total volume growing much more relative to that. So it’s like I’m repairing the ‘surface’ and experiencing the ‘volume’.

This ‘volume’ translated to the real world meant I was much more happy, loving, joyful to a point of being borderline goof all the time, and able to control my will at ease - and it’s incredible how all of these don’t seem to have a cap.

All that consistency would be enough to make this field one of my all time favorites. However, I think this field recently showed another of its dimensions to me, and it’s becoming clear I just got another game to play in my life. A game where I will perceive old cycles as repaired holes, and get into a flow state where I will perceive and define the future ahead of me with one sentence: a sea of infinite potential to have fun.

I definitely didn’t have it before on that scale, and this is without a shadow of a doubt the most life-changing effect this field had on me. I’m now able to tap into an enthusiasm about everything, mainly about the future, that is equivalent to when you move to another city - but without the fear, doubts, insecurities. Just the knowing there is only fun ahead of me, in different shades - fun in not knowing how things gonna play, fun in knowing there are things I will discover that will bring me more fun, fun in knowing that an infinite sea of possibilities also means an infinite sea of fun, and fun in knowing it’s up to me to decide how I’m gonna experience it. And thinking about all of this makes me smile and things feedback loop themselves into a supernova of happiness and joy.

And here is Bright Light’s turn

Bright-light:

One week before the release of the NFT. Very difficult two days.

I sleep during the day and I still feel sleepy. The second day I went to sleep during the day again. In my dream, I get to a familiar place and am greeted by a man. I know it’s NFT (Yes - future NFT! lol), but he’s a stranger to me. He asks me to dance, holds out his hand to me, and there we are circling. The dance is unfamiliar to me, but we move in unison. The energy helps my movements and everything happens easily and naturally.

I wonder: How do you do this? The answer is, " just trust". And it’s easy.

As we said goodbye, he took my hands and energized them so much that they just hummed and said it would help.

I woke up. I woke up thinking that if he had called me, I would have gone. And I went with joy. Complete trust, a complete sense of security, a complete sense of care and awe. I got up absolutely awake, all the heaviness was gone, came lightness and the memory of sleep. I thought that I definitely needed to find him and that we would definitely meet)).

And then, NFT “happiness”. Totally unexpected, no planning. It just came to me. I am very grateful to everyone who made it possible. When I got it, after 30 seconds I was in tears (+ other NFT released), I was just in shock. I’m not a sensitive person and I’m not very sentimental. I don’t know why I cried. Just, something was coming out of me, something was being released. After a while there was an emptiness and then a lightness. It was as if a stone had fallen from my soul, which I constantly carried with me and had already stopped noticing it. Now that there is no fuss, I am really in the flow, I am in a great mood and state of mind all by myself. That doesn’t mean that I walk around giggling.)) I was happy to smile at people before))) I really feel good when people around me are happy.

Also, I made a parallel for myself. During the dance, he was leading me, the movements were very easy, although I knew that my feet were controlled by energy. I thought, this is what happens with NFT. Calmly, slowly, you are guided according to your desires or needs. Before, I used to look at the Better Way in Life tag and dread it. Because the way to a better way in life is change. You can’t get a different result by doing the same things. And change, it’s almost always stressful, it’s getting out of a warm place, even though it might be better somewhere out there, it’s scary to go for change.))
Guys. This is just great work. I’m grateful to the Captain for creating it, it’s beautiful.))
I found my dancing man

Warning. Try to plan at least half an hour of free time after getting the NFT. I used to be able to do that. Some of them made me really shaky, some made me just want to lie down and rest. This time I didn’t have time to wait. I drove in the car on the highway for almost an hour, with no way to stop. I drove and smeared tears on my face, unable to stop the tears, which just rolled in large beads.

And Danny

Danny_Ho:

I literally don’t know where to start. I’m being all over the place with this one, I’ll try to wrap my head around it.

First of all, the “implosion” of happiness and love can be felt all over your “body”, it fills you full of it to the point it starts oozing out to the surrounding. There’s an ego dissolution embedded in the field, and I can strongly feel it, as I still have quite a big one =)))) Right when the audio start, it just puts me in a state of quietness, of contentment, and having it all, like others have said I have a smile on my face and deep inside the whole audio. And it continues to build up, so you end up being on cloud when the audio ends. The night the NFT was released, it took me 3 hours to finally go to sleep.

Having this one right before any manifestation stack (especially the Rainmaker) seals the deal for me. It’s helped me get the things I want.

But to me, the biggest part of it all is the teaching from Thay Thich Nhat Hanh that is guiding me from moment to moment.

These days, I just find myself from time to time in awe of the beauty of everything around me, I’m lost in the miracle and beauty of life, items and objects around me got me deep in their charming presence I’m asking how the universe can magically make all these things.

I’m being constantly aware that I am not a separate existence, I’m made up of more than just “myself” and sometimes I feel blending in the surrounding. I’m also aware that I’m part of the environment of this Earth, this universe, and above all, I’m the environment of myself. So in a sense, bringing happiness to the surroundings and to myself is one, and it doesn’t and doesn’t have to come at the cost of each other. It’s hard to describe this feeling in words.

I’m back at my parents for Lunar New Year, new patterns of my ego and my parents’ and other close people’s just keep showing up. But the field also acts as a loving and constant reminder that everybody does what they does out of or in need of “love” and “happiness” at their level of consciousness. Ego can manifest itself in different forms but it comes from the same root. From that perspective, I can deal with the situation with love and understanding, and at the same time let go of what I need to.

An interesting experience is to also realize that I actually have pre-thoughts before thoughts. I know it sounds obvious, but realizing that also helps me recognize and let go of the patterns behind the pre-thoughts and handle the events with mindfulness.

Regarding the Council of the Spiritual Dimensional Self, I’m not consciously receiving guidance from other dimensions but my childhood, I guess it’s dimensional in a sense. From time to time, the field brings back memories from my childhood, not just like in my mind, but I feel like I am there, feel the things, doing the activities. There are good memories and there are bad ones, but right when I come back I just stand in silence, smile and have a deep understanding about myself, and let it go.

I wanna say more, but this field is much more than whatever I can put into words, I feel helpless

Just today, this happiness project has inspired me to do something to help community, I’m sure more than ever about my path, and I hope this endeavor will bring something good for everybody

And Luna again

Ugnis to the party

Ugninis:

A person who enjoys going to work, but tries to stay there as long as possible because he doesn’t feel like going home, cannot be called happy. A person who does not want to wake up in the morning and go to work cannot be called happy either. A happy person is happy from morning till night and, most importantly, from evening till morning. Happiness is a chronic condition.

By the way, theologians for the most part believed that happiness on earth (paradise on earth) is unattainable, that our earthly and physical life is a kind of punishment for our sins, and that happiness is attainable only on the other side of life. This is the version I have heard many times from different cultures.

Other people have argued that life is happiness.
But along this line of reasoning, if life itself is designed in such a way that it can and should bring us chronic pleasure, why doesn’t this often happen? For myself personally, I’ve begun to realize that the most important thing to enjoy life is to get just two basic processes right: getting everything you need to live, and getting rid of everything you don’t need and get in the way of life…

What is the benchmark of a happy person for me? For example, if I have problems (and healthy people have problems too), I should not put them off, I should solve them

I think the big problem with a person who doesn’t know how to live happily?
It’s the inability to say “no”.
and I used to have a problem saying no to someone, refusing them.

Some studies show that at the end of life, many people worry because they have had too little time with their loved ones, too little travel, that this was not enough for their happiness.

But I once came across a paper by other scientists who write that these conclusions don’t really apply to reality. Many people worry at the end of their lives, not that they didn’t travel enough with their loved ones, but that they endured too much, waited too long to be understood, appreciated, thanked.

you know what I mean? :)

Life isn’t supposed to be hard. It’s supposed to be happy.
thank you all for this gift.

And Luna is back again

anon51280824:

I feel both things just as much, however i think in the recognition of what i need to do to stop being upset, in the process of doing what i need to do… this field is holding me high, as if it was doing this:

All comfortable and everything

Or if i had the ability to just do this

And i think thats beautiful!!!

Because the hardest thing to overcome something is having to also deal with the emotional or mental state dropping to the floor because of whatever situation we are going through, and the more difficult the more the constant battles we have to fight to keep the spirit high and with hope so we can get through.

Life and the world will always throw fkery at Us, because we cannot control everything and everybody, having this on my side is like having Timon on my shoulder telling Me when I need it:

so grateful for this!!

Premintarsia · January 29, 2022, 3:14pm

I have been re-reading our thread for Immutable Happiness this morning, as well as playing the audio. I am all smiles, and sometimes I laugh out loud! lol!

One of my favorite Deities that makes himself readily available within this Immutable Happiness NFT, is the Laughing Buddha himself! His Divine Laughter and Joy are infectious, in such a good way!

Have you ever noticed how beautiful one appears, or how beautiful one becomes, while laughing and experiencing Joy? How their mere laughter can also make you laugh, too? What is this Magic about Laughter? I would like to explore this alchemy of laughter a bit further.

Who is this “Laughing Buddha” anyway, and how is he different to the historical Buddha? Are
they one in the same? They don’t appear the same, to me. One is, well, thin and usually seen in a seated, resting meditation. The other appears rather rounded and curvaceous, and is laughing like he has just heard a really great joke! Yet, Laughing Buddha’s laughter, also appears to be a meditation. These were some of the questions that I asked when I first saw Laughing Buddha decades, ago. He fascinated me. I wanted to learn more.

“The Laughing Buddha is known in China as Ho Tai (or as Mi Lo Fa), and is not direclty related to the historical Buddha. Ho Tai was, according to one legend, a monk who would always carry a bag full of candies, which he gave out whenever he met up with children. He was always joyful (hence he is referred to as the Laughing Buddha). And because he was a monk, and because some Asian languages use the same word for monk as they do for Buddha, there has been confusion that he is a form of the historical Buddha.

Another theory has it that he was originally a fertitlity God, or a God of Prosperity, and his round belly was a symbol for a bountiful harvest. As Buddhism spread into China from India, the local population accepted him as a saint, or a manifestation of the Future Buddha (Maitreya Buddha).

In Japan he is known as Hotei and is considered one of the Seven Gods of Fortune.”

Reference: The Buddha Garden

Laughing Buddha. Such a needed presence in our lives. Now, more than ever I think. What do you think?

Not only i have this constant within smile even if things are not going perfect outside, but also the people that have been crossing my path anywhere, work or otherwise is happy people, its been like jokes left and right everywhere lol

Like the people i am attracting is happy, fun, funny cool easy going people

This is soooooo goood for Empaths!!! Thats the hardest part for us, having to shield ourselves all the time so we dont attract people that wants to complain and vent etc like moths to light

But better yet, people that is normally serious or even annoyed all the time IF they approach me is to make a joke or with a good vibe haha. Im not kidding. Crazy.

Phew! So good.
