Divine Utterances:
Lesson of Life

If you remember the worst is always yet to come, you will never be disappointed.

In every moment, you know exactly what it would be to look and feel and act completely Happy. But you are waiting to be made happy by something that happens to you, some "experience" from "without", or some arbitrary opening "within".

Understand your un-Happiness. Then you will be capable of locating Happiness, and, having located Happiness, you will be capable of practicing the Way of Adidam, which is nothing but the devotion of life to Happiness.

"The Bodily Location of Happiness" (November 28, 1981)
The Bodily Location of Happiness

If you do not practice Happiness, you will never Realize "It". Either you practice Happiness, or you practice un-happiness. You pay Me now or you pay Me later!

The achievement of Happiness is always minimal, temporary, and ultimately unattainable. You cannot become Happy. You can only be Happy.

The Lesson

The Unconditional Reality Is Modified (but Only Apparently) As The conditional Reality. This Must Be Realized. Until This Truth Is Realized, all conditional experience Is A School With A Single Lesson. This Is The Lesson (The Lesson Of Life): "I" Cannot Become Happy. "I" Can Only Be Happy.

The Dawn Horse Testament

We live the Law backwards. Instead of living from the point of view of Happiness, love of God, submission to the Transcendental Reality, we live in submission to others, objects, relations.

"The Ultimate Location"
Chapter 14, The Dreaded Gom-Boo

Life is not leading anywhere. The earth has not been created in order ultimately to evolve into the Divine state. The earth is just what it is. It may become more glamorous, or it may just fall apart. It could become more glamorous, but that wouldn't make it Divine. This world is just a limitation like all of the endless infinities of billions of other worlds All of them are just limitations. Apart from all of that, and also absolutely coincident with it, is the Divine, and those who know the Divine, in whatever world they appear, are free, and that world becomes Divine theatre for them. They don't always look to go to some other world. They live in God and play out the present event. Such is the habit of wise men.
