Attaining Bliss

How Much Bliss Do You Want?

The seniors at my High School were all asked: what they wanted to achieve in life for the yearbook. While many had specific career and financial goals, or a vision of an ideal family, almost half simply said that they wanted to be "happy." I was a little more intense; I wanted Self Realization. In the two plus decades that followed I have tracked the lives of many of my peers and observed what appears to be successful lives in terms of financial wherewithal, families and good health, but I also noted a growing sense of disillusionment, discontent and often even a quiet desperation to find some greater meaning or purpose in their lives. None were in bliss.

We come into this world as spirit, not even knowing our own body or mind. When you look into a baby's eyes, you see their spirit beaming back at you. As we get older we start identifying with our body and mind more and become increasingly disconnected with our spirit, our life force, ourselves. As we become more distant from ourselves we lose the peace, the intuitive insight and the bliss that is the intrinsic nature of our own spirit. That glee from your childhood never left, your spirit never vacated, you just began to ignore its presence. We deny the light of our own indwelling spirit as we become more enslaved by our mental programming. The bliss is already here just as your spirit is; we simply ignore it. But you don't have to any more.


The Kingdom of Heaven DOES lie within. Each of us has only to look within to find the living presence to invoke it. The spirit that animates your existence, that causes your heart to beat and your cells to regenerate, has also been guiding you through life experiences that serve to evolve you to your highest potential and purpose. This same spirit has guided you to read these words, to trigger the latest memory of who you are and why you were born, so you could awaken from the dream and realize your true nature as spirit. As your mind recognizes, aligns and recalibrates to the presence of your own indwelling spirit you feel a commensurate amount of bliss. The more you awaken, the more bliss.

There is unquestionably a means of realizing the Self, there is a definitive way to awaken your consciousness and live in the blissful awareness of the Divine presence. This is your destiny. You most definitely do have a life purpose and there absolutely is a way to find and fulfill it. The question is: How much bliss do you want? If you want it bad enough, there is a way to dissolve the resistances your mind projects. You can discover clarity of purpose and reveal your Divine blissful state. Right now you have an incredible opportunity to break out of the confines of self-imposed limitations and set your soul free. Unimaginable joy awaits you. Spirit calls.
