What exactly is happiness, and how can I be happy in the present?As you practice consciousness engineering, something beautiful starts to happen. As you gain a new sense of power and freedom from Brules that no longer hold you back, your growth starts to accelerate.
At this point a great yearning often starts building in you.
You want to do more, be more, contribute more.
This part of the book will give you the means to do so.
In previous chapters, you focused on the world around you and learned to shed models from the past. Now we’ll look at your present and your future, and we’ll focus on a new world—your inner world with all its conflicting habits, beliefs, emotions, desires, and ambitions. We’ll be bringing a beautiful order and balance to this world.
You’ll be asking yourself two questions:
What exactly is happiness, and how can I be happy in the present?
What are my goals and visions for the future?
You’ll learn new systems for living that allow you to dramatically raise your levels of happiness, including three powerful approaches that you can apply to be more blissful on a daily basis—I call it Blissipline: the discipline of daily bliss.
You’ll also discover how to create exciting goals for your future without succumbing to the Brules of the culturescape. You’ll learn the difference between end goals (a brilliant idea) and means goals (a bad idea). Best of all—you can do all of this by asking yourself three simple but profound questions.
When you’re happy in the present moment and pulled forward by a vision for the future, your inner and outer worlds mesh seamlessly. It almost feels as if luck is on your side, and the universe has your back. When you’re in this state, life seems to unfold for you in the best possible way—as if you’ve been blessed. I have a term for this. I call it bending reality.
