Happiness?

Success is getting what you want...happiness is wanting what you get.

I think happiness depends upon where one's mind is on its evolutionary path. If we are in the first half of our Prodigal Son journey, the acquisition of higher quality consciousness is the farthest thing from our minds. We are ambitious to the point of being greedy. Gaining knowledge is valued only insofar that it helps us acquire the material. If not already a citizen of the U.S., one can't wait to become one. The U.S. is, for the most part, the home of the planetary Prodigal Son; the global magnet for the greedy. Since a magnet will attract only like objects, the American magnet attracts only those needing to make their Prodigal Son Journey.

These relative few who, having completed their first half of the journey, have metaphorically "eaten with the hogs" and consequently have made the decision to return to Source, who value knowledge for spiritual reasons, who aren't ambitious, greedy and selfish, are considered strange by the Greedy. For those who value the subjective over the objective, America seems more and more like a new and strange place. You feel unwelcome. Were it not for Liberals, American would have no soul.

Animal man was evicted from the Paradise-like state of animal instinct because of the appearence of mind. It appears that the appearence in the minds of Americans of the initial influences of Christ mind which creates in one a feeling of being a citizen of planet Earth, not just one of its tribe nations is, in a growing number, ostracising, if not evicting, them from acceptance as true, loyal, patriotic Americans. I am not the only person who feels an outcast at family reunions.

Thanks for letting me vent. The older I become the more nauseated I become of this cesspool of corruption, greed and selfishness called the United States of America.

Can you believe the sickening sob's are choosing to help insurance companies over the poor? And it's not Congress alone. They are getting paid by insurance companies. But the Republican Party, and many Democrats, just don't give a Tinkers damn about the poor.

That disgusting odor you're smelli wafting north is us, well, most of us. If it's true the Prodigal Son had to experience the bad before he was willing to pay the price to acquire the good, America is definitely on its own Prodigal Son journey.

I know that, as usual, my post is too long. It's time for me to shut-up...so I will.
