Wouldn't life be wonderful if such amazing things could happen to us on a regular basis? The sense of wonder i felt, the warm and sparkly feeling of being connected to something bigger than i could understand; that my authentic needs could be provided for in ways beyond my minds' ability to comprehend. That profound realization that there was more to life than what i was capable of grasping at that time was both enlightening and completely daunting.
One thing i do know contributed to my experience of 'bliss' was my openness to experience. I held very little judgement about myself or others, about situations, or about what 'should' or was 'suppose' to happen. Instead, i lived in the moment, trying to maintain a sense of peace with myself and however i happened to feel at any given time.
For many reasons i was unable to sustain that state of bliss over a long period of time. I think on some level i began to think i was 'there' ~ as though i had attained some level of enlightenment and could then go about what i 'should' be doing or some ingrained belief about what i was 'suppose' to do. Oddly, this is completely the opposite of the state of mind that had ushered 'bliss' in my life.
In my own time, i had to work through those barries and belief systems burried in my subconscious. It is only upon reflection now that i have a clearer picture of how this unfolded. My own belief systems have been barriers to my happiness, and how to apply an operating system that could be more effective at keeping me present in the moment in order to cultivate more blissful experience on a regular basis. Wow, what a subtle and deep concept to explore!
