The Wonder Land

Episode 8: What is So Great About Being Happy?


Listen Later

Opening Quote:

"It is an important thing, in our never-ending pursuit of happiness, to stop and just be happy for a while." Mark Twain


Exploring the realization that we really don’t know and aren’t able to consistently define or describe “happiness”. That fact is a fascinating curiosity when this concept has been indoctrinated as being the goal, pursuit, and the ultimate achievement. 

The self idea was not programmed to be “happy”, it’s programmed to search for “happiness”.

What is beyond the incessant seeking for happiness? This exploration leads us beyond he momentary "high" of happiness and into the stillness and silence of the space which has no dependencies on the real world.


Closing Quote “Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn’t one.”Wei Wu Wei


The Wonder Land is a deep dive into questioning what has been learned and believed about reality, suffering, and awakening. Join coaches Alex Linares and Amanda Jones as they drop down the rabbit hole with weekly explorations and realizations.
