Viral Happiness

Earlier this week, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi died in the Netherlands at the age of 91. Many of you may remember the Maharishi. He established his worldwide Transcendental Meditation (TM) movement in1958. By the late 60’s, he had attracted some famous devotees, including the actress Mia Farrow, Mike Love (from the Beach Boys), Donovan, and, of course, The Beatles. They all traveled to India in 1968, staying and studying together at the Maharishi’s ashram in Rishikesh.

I’ve never practiced TM, but, as a long-time Donovan fan, I’ve certainly been exposed to the philosophy. Donovan remains dedicated to TM, and, along with critically acclaimed movie director David Lynch, he continues preaching the TM message to audiences around the world.

So what does this have to do with my latest project and a message from the Great Beyond? I’m getting to that, I promise.

My latest project has been a work in progress for several months now. If, as Dr. Joe Vitale says, the Universe likes speed, then I’m afraid that the Universe may not be too thrilled with me when it comes to this project. I’m just thankful that the project is important enough to insist on being brought to fruition.

And, it is important. The people who have reviewed this project all agree that it contains information that can change people’s lives. That alone is reason enough to push through any obstacle and any block and to keep on pursuing the goal until this project reaches the people who need it. Helping people improve their lives is my passion, and I’m passionate about all of the information, truths, and techniques in this project. You can expect further information from me about this project before March 1st.

Now – about that message from the Great Beyond.

If you’ll remember, in an earlier blog post, I steered you to an interview that I did with Neil Long. Neil has an internet radio show called Interview with Spirit, and his show regularly features Ken MacLean, a spiritual author and intuitive who “channels” information from his spirit guides. Ken and his guides, who he calls “The Guys,” write a weekly column that appears on the Interview With Spirit website.

Now then, I’m still not sure how I feel about the concept of channelling. It’s a little “out there” for me, and, up until now, I’ve never put much stock in it. But, I will gladly tell you this: wherever these messages come from, they’re filled with dynamic information. This week’s message is superb.

Now then, let me share how this all ties together.

In the article I read about the Maharishi, this quote of his was included: “Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. Under all circumstances, be happy…Just think of any negativity that comes at you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss.”

I read these words, and they immediately resounded in my soul. For one thing, this is what I teach. You can be happy always by choosing to be happy always. Furthermore, any negativity, such as difficulties that arise when trying to launch a quality project, is just a raindrop falling into the ocean of my bliss.

And then to really make the lesson crystal clear, the weekly message from “The Guys” was about how we can cope with the daily grind of life here on earth. This message was both enlightening and exhilarating, with a little quantum physics thrown in. And with advice like this: “Find a desire. We tell you that over and over again because it is so fundamental to your happiness. What is a desire? It is something that lights you up. It is something to feel eager and excited about! It is something aligned with your personal soul purpose. It is an expression of YOU.”

So, anytime that I’ve felt as if doing this project was a “grind,” it hasn’t really been a grind because this project “lights me up!” It is totally aligned with my “personal soul purpose,” and it is definitely an expression of me.

So, there you have it – the Guru, the project, and a message from the Great Beyond all culminating in a lesson of creativity and passion – a lesson about life. Is this serendipity, when seemingly unrelated things come together in a way that makes perfect sense (at least to me)? I would think so. A lovely bit of serendipity teaching me that life is good all of the time.

If you read this entire post, may you be blessed, and, I would love for you to leave a comment.
