We seek bliss continually, constantly craving and desiring, because we – with our coming into existence on this gorgeous blue planet – inherit a programming of our minds that leads us to believe that we have to leave our natural, universal connection, and plug into the man-made systems in order to achieve bliss. I’ll give you a few examples: Ever heard of somebody chasing higher levels of success, the one true love, more money, a perfect body, or a bigger house in the pursuit of happiness, only to discover that the sense of relief and joy they were seeking did not set in?

Our falling hook, line, and sinker for that programming is really the biggest scam on earth! It has made us dependent upon things that are, to put it frankly, completely and utterly undependable, at least for sustainable happiness. However, more than anything, and in my opinion, far worse, it has crippled our spiritual evolution. It can be phrased like this:

Trade in the happiness you already are for the chase of the watered-down, short-lived, dubious version made up by someone else.

The most horrible rub of this human cycle of behavior is that after a lifetime of seeking all the possible cures for our pain – of following everyone else in the unspoken (or sometimes not so unspoken) contest of accumulating wealth, gathering possessions, being as politically correct as possible – we still don’t find the bliss we seek. In fact, although we try to find happiness through the means prescribed by our social systems, we come to realize that the bliss we have been offered is just a knock-off – a cheap, poorly crafted imitation of the real thing. And the most startling realization is this:

The real thing, bliss itself, is always right there within you! In fact, it is you. Bliss is your true nature.

You want the real deal? You want the true, all-pervading, long-lasting incredible sensation of bliss? Then always, always, always follow your Bliss Instinct.
