Why Is It Important To Know That You And All Other Humans Are Connected?

What does this have to do with my Authentic Happiness?

There is a fundamental truth that many of us have known and the scientific world is now acknowledging and that is that we all go back to the same source. Some of you may have seen a program in Australia recently that traced one of our top reporter’s ancestry back to the African Bushmen. Through DNA studies scientists now believe this was the origin of modern peoples throughout the world.

Love brings you to know within you, that you and all other humans are not separate. If you are not giving love to others you are depleting love within you and this leads to unhappiness.

When you know this truth at a cellular level you can then find love towards all other human beings. For some, this may seem an impossible task because you feel that you have been terribly wronged by one of your fellow beings. Finding love in your heart towards one who has wronged you is not about forgetting what they have done. It is about forgiving them for not practicing the love that is due to all. At close examination, I would say with confidence, that the perpetrator is definitely not authentically happy.

While we hold ourselves separate from any other human we are creating a barrier around our heart and this inturn can cause us emotional pain which can lead to physical pain and, if not checked, into illness.

The energy it takes to hold a grudge or resentment towards another is depleting your own ability to experience authentic happiness. You may feel that the other needs to be punished in some way and you spend time thinking about how you can cause that punishment to happen. All your attention is directed towards the pain you feel. As a result you are giving all your power away to the very person you want to punish and you are inflicting more emotional pain on you.

I’m sure you can see this is not how to achieve happiness. On the contrary it is at the opposite end of the happiness scale. I hear you saying, “But Dale what about someone who has murdered or maimed a loved one? And yes, I hear you.
Of course there are times when one needs to be brought to the understanding that what they have chosen to do is not appropriate in a society based in love. You may need to be a party to the action needed to bring this person to a point in their journey where they can own that they have chosen to act contrary to love. Your action can have love at its base. However, if your motivation is driven by revenge you are acting in a manner that will cause you to be removed from love and therefore authentic happiness.

Our emotions and feelings are the driving force behind all our actions and reactions. You need to be able to ask, “Are my thoughts and actions around this matter driven by love or hate? I am sure you are aware that any shade of hate does not cause you to feel happy. Happiness is the main emotion that most of us are striving to achieve.

Achieving happiness and good health by changing your thinking
A friend of mine has quite a lot of issues around his father. When he was younger his father was very cruel to him both physically and emotionally. When I first met him he talked constantly about how to get back at him. When he did this he became depressed and his blood pressure rose to a dangerous level. I spoke to him about what he really wanted to have from his father. He eventually came to know that all he wanted was his father’s apology. This is a lost cause because his father is not the type to apologise. He now realises that he was wasting his time and energy on this futile cause. He made a choice to be happy without having to have his father‘s apology.

Now his blood pressure is normal and he has been taken off his antidepressant medication that he had been taking for 15 years. He also says he feels really alive and ready to take on the world. I must also say that he is a delight to be around now.

It is important to become aware that you may also be making yourself ill with the need to punish another. Who is being punished and is it worth your lack of authentic happiness.
