The other day I appeared on a radio show. The topic was on \u201cunconditional love\u201d. \u00a0As we continued to dialogue on the topic and discover the core of living an unconditional life, the host kept bring up being. \u00a0So I asked her, \u201cWhen you use being, or be this, or that, what actually are referring too?\u201d Logically most everyone speaks about \u201cbeing\u201d or \u201cbe this, be aware, be happy, be love etc\u2026\u201d. Well she listened and stuttered a little bit, then laughed, \u201cI don\u2019t know David, I guess I don\u2019t know what it is or means, well I don\u2019t know.\u201d Good, a wonderful place to begin for all of us, \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d. \u00a0I don\u2019t myself, I don\u2019t want to know myself. I don\u2019t want to change, I love my comfortable life that is filled with all these comforts. \u00a0Which is nice, and good. But life is a discovery, adventure, of who you are. Or as the the eastern culture asks, \u201cWho am I?\u201d<\/p>\n

In actuality we are. We are everything. So in our discovery of this, we first must look at everything that disturbs this place of peace or happiness. \u00a0Everything. Your partner decides to leave you our of the blue, you become angry, upset, and so now you are disturbed. Without knowing it, you expected your partner to stay and love you. They brought you value, by loving you. That value they brought you, brought happiness. So you were happy, now you are not. \u00a0So now they leave, the mask is revealed to you. Your happiness isn\u2019t found in the other. Can you look at it, look at the upset, the charge that disturbed your peace? \u00a0Your purpose is to discover that. \u00a0Discover the peace, love, and happiness of being who you are.<\/p>\n

The mind can not relate to this experience. \u00a0So it suggests that we must \u201cbe something, or be more\u201d. \u00a0So it takes what it thinks is an affirmation and recites it over and over. \u00a0I am being happy, or be happy, be love. Well those are concepts of something much more profound, which can only be discovered, beyond the mind. \u00a0As you begin to discover that there is \u00a0\u201chappiness in being\u201d, which is HIB, then you will actually understand that your being is not determined on the outside at all. You can still allow happiness, peace, and love to flow even if the world is falling apart around you, that my friend is faith. \u00a0Real faith. \u00a0Not a faith in being faithful, rather the faith of being itself.<\/p>\n

So the invitation today is in the \u201chappiness in being\u201d. I invite you to HIB and see what happens.<\/p>\n
