Make happiness your default state

jazerac · 2016-12-04T20:11:25+00:00

If you grew up in this culture, the "hive mind"... you will need to heal yourself to get out. They want you to be dependent on external things, because without that you would not do the crazy things you do, like work 8 hours a day for someone else. Ya, working 8 hours a day seems normal to people because that's how they were brainwashed growing up. It's simply not normal. The only reason you accept this as normal is because you have been conditioning to be in this "unrestful and unhappy" state as a "normal" thing. It is not.

In fact this is one of the mechanisms for the slavery we have today... almost a kind of "black magic". To be dependent on something else is a type of sickness, that has been injected into you. This very dependency, validation, seeking of external things to take you away from the painful default state you live in... this is pure sickness. Just take a long look at how you were raised, where you got your ideas for "happiness"... parents and media. Parents get their ideas from this "culture" too, so pretty much everything is set up in a way to poison you, to bring you into this "hive mind".

Do you ever feel strange that you are happy? Do you ever wake up feeling satisfied and content for no reason.. then suddenly ask "Why am I feeling happy?" which then you quickly go back to the default and painful "seeking state"?

That is because you feel shame about being happy, or content with just being. Why do you feel this? Because you were brainwashed, indirectly, about it.

"life is hard, life is painful" "You should be grateful you aren't living on the streets or in africa" "Life is work and you should do it willingly"

Sayings like these come from the slave mentality, the opposite mentality of abundance and joy.

Just think: "Why was I born into this world when it is just suffering"

There you go, so either you were born to suffer and be a slave, in which you should just kill yourself... or this world is actually not a world of suffering and slavery.

Again, you've been brainwashed and conditioned to be in this low state of slavery, neediness, and shame. This is your BASE STATE. A natural human, raised not in any culture or slave system, will NOT be in such a base state. Earth itself is abundant with food and energy, thinking we are going to starve and die is ridiculous.

We have enough food to feed everyone on earth, but it is held by the criminal fraud slave masters at the top.

How can you heal yourself? Shame, guilt, and slave mentality are the chains that hold you down. It will be a painful road to break these chains.

Meditation: 24/7 meditation, complete 100% objectivity and "detachment" from the existence you see in front of you. It is not "I am the observer" but only simply observing. Even your thoughts and perception are part of the existence, in which you will not attach to. So it is not "this is my arm", but "this is an arm".

Try this as much as you can remember, it is called "no-mind" meditation.

Concentration meditation: Focus all your being onto one sensation, for example the sensation of breath entering and exiting your nose. Do not fall into "imagining" the sensation, or thinking about it, but truly with NO JUDGEMENT focus on the sensation itself.

Last but not least: Heal the inner child that has been traumatized because of the culture/slave system.

This is the most important to come back to the state of "child like wonder" and contentment that will free you of the slave mentality and neediness.

This should have way more upvotes than that post about how to get laid, this post and the discussion it can start is so much more important. I guess most guys really just come here cause they want to have more sex though and they leave it at that. This has and will provoke more thought and change in me than any other post on this subreddit

A good example I recently encountered is Dale Cooper from the TV show Twin Peaks by David Lynch.
All it takes to make this guys day is a cup of good coffee.
I think learning to enjoy the simplest things is one of the most valueable things one can achieve.

Pride can be taken away from you at any given moment, what was the phrase, pride before the fall?

Positive thinking may not work if you see the world as always being outcome and goal orientated (even that may be false, see Jim Carrey's speech on the power of intention and positive thinking)

Your accomplishments will always pale in comparison to the next man that walks into the room so don't make it the foundation of your happiness. My wealth pales in comparison to say Elon Musk and your n-count pales in comparison to Genghis Khan.

Attaching external anchors to your source of happiness is never a good base from which to build your life.

Others have touched on this but being happy is not an excuse to be complacent but is instead the best possible way foundation for self-improvement as you stop looking externally for approval on your journey. This is why so many people fail.

Happiness is important but I also feel one needs to bask in occasional sadness or even short-term depression. That's the shit that motivates you, makes you figure out what could be improved so you can fix it.

Your goal is to be happy, but unless you make deep structural changes to your life your happiness won't be consistent. That means lifting, taking up a hobby, picking up women, becoming financially independent and contributing positively to society.

I would argue that 'doing nothing' from the outset will detriment that happiness. You need to keep doing things until you're comfortable enough to freely do nothing. Most people are not at that stage yet.

Inspired by Jeff Olson? Great man.

Love this post. Something I think all of us green should absorb and apply first. Vets correct me if I am wrong, but won't a constant state of happiness help with our overall redpill concepts with respect to a quality life? Wouldn't help you not give a shit, help you become more self possessed, help with confidence, etc?

Am I happy?

Easier to rephrase the question:

Do I have salmon fillets in the freezer, a gun on my hip and the satisfaction of self-discipline and some kind of a driving purpose?

If the answer is yes to the latter, then the answer is yes to the former.

Also, fatherhood and maturation.

Great post and great motivation. Thanks a lot. Just to live another day makes me happy... I always try to live the best way possible under my current situation.

I'm going to have to dissent.

This is a recipe for complacency, not growth. There's two ways to deal with suffering: 1. Get rid of the suffering 2. Change your relationship with pain

I advocate the latter. I have spent my life as a severe bipolar. All this time I spent thinking that this is a curse, when it is in actuality a gift. I had a shit lift today. I went in on an empty stomach, jittery from a 5-hour energy knock-off. Managed to deadlift 335 x 1. This, among build-up sets and kill sets. Some visibly smaller guy takes the bar after me and deadlifts 495 no problem.

Pisses me off. I'm smoldering on the drive home and I can't help but to think "Thank god for this". I gave it my all today and it wasn't enough. Do I want to get rid of this emasculation? No. I want this anger to be there all day tomorrow when I hit the fucking gym again.

I like where you're going with this but be careful. Happiness leads to complacency which leads to lack of self improvement. It's difficult to balance, but be careful here.

If I'm happy right now, then why improve my life and have better or more?

DmanRealty · 2016-12-05T05:15:01+00:00

For me, pleasure seeking has mainly been the cause for when I go through phases of depression because it results in major ups which lead to constant downs and feelings of emptiness. The whole "you need X to be happy" is essentially the same thing because you get that instant gratification from buying something new or getting a new girlfriend.

sumethreuaweiei · 2016-12-04T21:08:25+00:00

Being happy all the time makes you look like a feminine clown. Smiling at a mildly attractive girl makes you lower SMV, because it looks like you're supplicating to her looks. The jester doesn't get laid or get respect. Having some kind of an 'attitude' makes them think you're guarded with who you give yourself to, making the 'chase' that much more fulfilling (i.e. gatekeeper of commitment).

yomo86 · 2016-12-04T20:58:47+00:00

Good analysis.

My 2cts if you need X to be happy they can sell X and, just to be sure, Y. Try to get money for a new Honda when Gramps is literally happy, because of the memories, with his '89 Ford pick-up.
