The Laws of Happiness
The following laws all have formal, scientific or philosophic proofs. They have been proven TRUE. If any of them seem doubtful or false to you, you are at the limitations of your current beliefs about how life works, which is the point where you can begin to learn new things. For more information on this, see Science. If you wish to challenge any statement, send us an example of where you think it not true.
One’s own happiness is the ultimate motivation of ALL human effort and behavior.
Everybody always acts for what they consider is the path of most happiness for them. There are no exceptions to this law. (The law does not say what people do always brings them happiness—their actions often backfire—only that happiness was their subconscious motivator.) What you seek in life is your happiness.
Corollary: Self-sacrifice and altruism are illusions and self-delusions. A human being always acts for his or her own happiness as s/he perceives it at the moment of action. There are no exceptions to this law.
Happiness and its opposite, suffering, are purely emotional.
The emotions are the only happiness or suffering that exist in life. Happiness or pain is never the events but how you feel in relation to the events. Positive emotion is happiness; negative emotions (anger, fear, hate, sadness, etc.) are unhappiness. There is no other source or cause of happiness or suffering. Nor do events cause the emotions.
Events are never the cause of the emotions, and therefore are never the cause of happiness or pain.
Just one proof of this is that two people often feel oppositely about the same event. If the event were the cause, it would cause the same experience in all the people every time. Nothing could be farther from the truth about human experience: it is varies immensely for any given event. The cause of such variation must be in that which varies, the people, and not in that which does not vary, the event. Most people never see through the illusion that events cause their emotions and so waste their live trying to achieve happiness by controlling external events (including other people). For this reason, most human beings never achieve any significant increase in the level of happiness throughout their life.
Therefore, the ONLY source of happiness on the planet is within, internal, to each person. The ONLY source of unhappiness, pain and suffering in life is your own negative emotions. Despite this fact, most people seek happiness by trying to control the external world, achieve goals, and accumulate materials things. This obviously does not work: a person with one million dollars is not for that happier than a person with 50 thousand dollars. There are many people who "have it all" and yet are very unhappy (e.g. for example, many film, music and athletic stars).
The emotions (positive and negative) are the Love<>AntiLove Energy Polarity. Emotions, Love, and Happiness are all the same Energy.
(In psycanics we call this energy "EmoLoveJoy.") S/He who does not understand this understands none of these and will not be able to produce more of the positive polarity of the energy in hir life than s/he does now.
Happiness, therefore, is a state of Love, and suffering is a state of AntiLove. Happiness is a state of positive emotion that results from Self- Love (positive Self-Esteem). Despite appearances, external events NEVER cause your emotions.
Your emotions are your love or AntiLove for Self according to the Essence IDentity that you activate in relation to the events. Your emotions, the only happiness or pain that exist in life, are generated around the IDentities, not the events. You cannot control many events of your life; you cannot control your emotions; your point of power in life where you have perfect control is Who You Are, your IDentities.
You can love others ONLY to the extent that you love yourSelf.
Your relationships will work naturally and effortlessly to the degree that you love yourSelf, your IDentities; and will be stormy to the extent that you do not love yourSelf.
If you want to be successful and happy in life, you must learn how the most complicated thing on the planet works: YOU, your BEing, mind and emotions. As Einstein said: "It is insanity to keep doing what you do now and expect better results." If you want a better life, you must get a better "life operating system." Try upgrading to psycanics.
