The following excerpt is from the upcoming, updated version of the book - A COURSE IN EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT
The spirit comes in body to feel alive with physical
vibrations,
The physical dimension offers deep experiences of structural
limitations and victories of positive over negative, which are abstractedly
felt in astral realms
To feel joy with a body requires acceptance of needs of the
physical world along with balancing needs of the spirit world
Chapter 5 - Soul Ascension Towards Happiness ( A COURSE IN EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT )
Happiness
and enlightenment cannot arrive by ignoring problems to be happy or by denying that problems exist . Instead of
preaching spirituality as being always good and being critical of routine difficulties; happiness arrives by overcoming difficulties with a positive spirit while participating in the
joys of life. Being alive entails consumerism , fashion, love, passion and joys
of the creative soul other than work pursuits,
and it is necessary to be aware that facing negative setbacks
experienced in family life and relationships, propels life force towards attainment of
higher positive frequencies.
The
struggle for happiness, over lifetimes, leads to realization of inner peace and
enlightenment . Difficulties create higher wisdom for the spirit who overcomes
problems with optimism, hope and feeling peaceful than brooding over the
negative setbacks.
Soul
ascension to happiness is a process of acquisition and detachment wherein you
acquire strength through worldly means to climb the next step on the ladder of
ascension ; but detach from the lower ladder of bad health, deprivation or lack of peace for
moving onwards to a higher soul frequency.
Enlightenment
is a process which is attained after a
spirit feels fulfilled , loved and acquires peacefulness by choice.
Hence, to be happy and emotionally balanced, it is necessary to balance the
need to spend on passions with the art of practising detachment than completely
force detachment as punishment on self. As research has proved through applied behavior analysis, positive reinforcement
and intermittent rewarding gets better work done from children than negative reinforcement
or punishment. The same theory applies while training the self to achieve more
positivity . Rewarding the soul and praising small achievements helps more than
depriving the self, as was the traditional route to enlightenment .
The
balancing of consumerism with spiritualism and detachment leads to inner
feelings of peace while forcing hunger/
emptiness on self leads to feelings of
negativity and helplessness . As
contrasted with greed which is akin to over-eating, disciplined indulgence takes a soul closer to
being happier for matching higher positive frequencies of the Creator .
