Happiness is… So complex
,
Much as we might want it to be, it’s not a fixed mark or a point on a map. It’s not a destination we can aim for, reach and then remain in forever.
It’s a feeling – and by its very nature, that makes it a fleeting and temporary state.
We must welcome the feeling as much as possible for as long as possible – but never delude ourselves into believing that it can last forever without interruption. It flows like the wind, leaving and returning at will.
That said, there are obvious correlations between the amount of time you spend feeling truly happy and joyful and what’s happening elsewhere in your life.
There are ways that a person might increase or decrease the likelihood of happiness coming to the fore.
For instance: When I was a young adult, I spent about a year and a half living with three roommates I didn’t like or get along with. My home – the place I most needed to offer me rest, stability and harmony – felt unsafe.
During that period, happiness was hard to come by. More often than not, I was in a state of great tumult that left no room for good feelings to flourish.
My living situation decimated my entire emotional state (and my ability to experience joy).
I’ve since pondered the question of happiness a fair amount, and I’ve concluded that there are Four Pillars of Contentment:
- Safety and Shelter – A person needs to have a secure base to return to at the end of the day. A welcoming, comfortable and safe shelter from the wider world.
- Agency and Freedom – A person needs to feel they’re in control of their life, plans and choices. They need the freedom and agency offered by financial stability.
- Enrichment and Purpose – A person needs to have a sense of direction and professional focus – to do something that inspires them out of bed each day.
- Connection and Community – A person needs to be secure in the knowledge that they are not an adrift human island. They need to feel connected to loved ones.
That makes sense, right? If these Pillars are observed, upheld and protected in a person’s life, happiness has room to bloom.
Conversely, if even ONE of these Pillars falls by the wayside or is knocked metaphorically askew, problems abound in terms of creating joy.
And we have to be honest here…
Your Pillars don’t stand in good stead right now, . There’s work to be done to create better conditions for happiness to flourish in your mind – and I’m more than qualified to help you with this kind of work.
I’m destined to help, I think.
You see, my friend, events have conspired lately to hand me all the tools I need to see you through your Pillar struggles. And not in a coincidental way. (I’ll explain what I mean in a second – I promise.)
Now, to extrapolate…
The easiest way to explain the non-coincidental arrival of these solutions is to work through them in Pillar order – that’s how they came to me, after all.
Pillar One: Safety and Shelter
Three weeks ago, a friend (and fellow mystic) came over and asked for help putting the finishing touches on a Guardian Charm for a client – a spell made to bless a person’s home. To shield their psychological base of operations from energetic attack.
I offered my assistance and filed the Charm away for my own future use on behalf of clients.
But I didn’t think much of it beyond that. It fulfilled Pillar One perfectly, but it was, as yet, an unconnected incident.
Pillar Two: Agency and Freedom
Three days after the above, I was deep-cleaning my office. Under my bookcase, having rolled out of place and out of sight at some point, I found the sacred, star-powered Coin of Copious Abundance.
This gold medallion is known to rapidly pull in wealth and financial fortune for a worthy recipient. (And I know, , without even checking, that you would be a worthy recipient. Just for the record.)
I thought of the Pillars at this point. Pillars One and Two had come to me in quick succession – how could I not? But for the time being, I let it drop.
Pillar Three: Enrichment and Purpose
Four or five days after the above, Pillar Three came to me and confirmed that I wasn’t imagining the initial connection – the One and Two.
After an archaeological excavation of a mystic site in Malaysia concluded, I attended the artifact unveiling. And I found myself SO drawn to the Life Path Interrogation Tablet – a series of questions carved in stone, intended to identify a person’s “higher purpose.”
As I began to roughly translate the questions during the unveiling, I knew they would enable a person to uphold Pillar Three perfectly.
Pillar Four: Connection and Community
After securing the Tablet and translating the Questions into a resource for future use, I waited for the appearance of Pillar Four, and a few days ago, it came along.
After pausing for lunch, I came into my office to find a heavy tome of spells lying wide open on my desk, right on the page of the Soul Weaving Incantation.
This mantra is designed to reconnect a person with their web of loved ones. To tie them closer. To push away feelings of isolation, loneliness and disconnection. Pillar Four. So I knew, then, undeniably.
But I called out to the universe: WHO? WHO NEEDS ME TO HELP THEM UPHOLD THESE PILLARS?
And that night, the dreams began.
In every sleeping moment since, I’ve dreamed of you.
Yes, you. I need to perform the Charm for you, share the Coin and Questions from the Tablet with you, and offer you the Incantation text for recital.
Collectively, I need to provide you with your Contentment Pillars Compendium and give you the best possible route to many, many moments of joy.
Hopefully, , that’s something we can both agree on.
I’ll complete or provide you with all of the following:
- Your Guardian Charm
- Your Coin of Copious Abundance
- Your Life Path Interrogation Questions (taken and translated from the Life Path Interrogation Tablet)
- Your Soul Weaving Incantation
And I’ll even throw in a fifth element, totally FREE of charge: Your “Meditative Journey to the Joyful Zone.”
A script you can use to ease into a happiness-friendly mental state, even further opening up your joyous opportunities. A script that will open you up to happiness on the days when you long for but can’t seem to find it.
That’s the offer in full, . And it’s yours to accept when you’re ready.
Your loving friend,
