So why don’t we? We have covered it up with our beliefs, concepts, perceptions and thought processes; we actually think our- selves out of Bliss. Te cosmic joke is that all that rushing around trying to reach or acquire Bliss actually stops us from experi- encing Bliss. Tat is why glimpses of Bliss are possible in environments that calm the mind – spas and holidays.
So let’s take a break from the mental clutter right now. Look away from the computer screen for a moment, and just notice some- thing that pleases you in your surroundings (you will find something – keep looking!). What pleases you about this thing/view/ play of the light/sound/taste/smell/feel- ing? Really describe it and be absorbed by it. Right now! Feeling better? Feeling good?
You have stilled your mind for long enough to feel the beginnings of bliss. And it’s to- tally free, because it’s yours – you uncovered it from within you.
So, if bliss was naturally available to you, what would you do, want or have – just for the joy of it, rather than be searching for the Place of Bliss? What does your heart want? What would be fun? Just think how differ- ent your life would be with Bliss shining through, from the inside out.
“If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard; because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with!” Dorothy, Te Wizard of Oz, 1939 ■
