What does unconditional happiness mean at the deepest levels of our human experience? When we are willing to open to our deepest fears and pain without resistance, a paradox presents itself. In such a willingness, there is no suffering, there is no unhappiness, even as we bear witness to great suffering and allow it to be seen, felt, and allowed to pass through us. Like it or not, suffering is inherent to the human condition. Suffering’s appearance is a given. Consciously realizing that at the core of our being there is no suffering, is not. A wise person once said, “Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door shall be opened to you.” The elements that I teach concerning the true nature of happiness and the guide post of unhappiness are one way of asking and receiving. And, one way of knocking and walking through the doorway of our unhappiness into the open sky at the core of Being.
