Choosing the Guide to Happiness

Everyone in the world is searching. Which guide we follow in our search determines whether we find hell or Heaven, conflict or peace. When we identify with the ego, we are directed to look for forms in the world — a special partner, status, pleasure, money or a myriad other forms that we think will bring us happiness. Even if we seem to achieve some of these goals and experience a little happiness, it never lasts because the forms we seek are empty illusions with no meaning.

But there is a Guide for our search That will lead us where true and lasting happiness is eternally. This Guide, our true Self, leads us to the truth. It leads us to recognize the Love we are and to remember our Source. True happiness is an attribute of Love. It is already ours. We don’t recognize it because we turn our backs on it when we search for happiness in forms.

As we practice redirecting our attention from the ego to our true Self as our Guide, we are led to let go of valuing empty forms and to welcome the Love that is our Source and our Being. Each time we let go of a mistaken belief, of a judgment or a fear with the help of our true Self, we move a step closer to the joy that is our inheritance from our Source.
