I want to challenge you this morning to turn this belief inside out and upside down. A physical overcoming, a financial windfall, successful conclusion of an important project. It is apparent that something did happen to make you happy. This happened, that happened, so I’m happy. The typical example, the deeply embedded belief that happiness is caused by present fortuitous conditions. The unlearning is what truth study is all about. As I often say, true learning is what remains after you’ve forgotten all you’ve read or heard. But the process does not involve the accumulation of definitions and phrases. There’s no way.”īut the Greek philosopher Zeno said, “The most necessary part of learning is unlearning our errors.” We study the truth, by reading, and listening, and lectures, and by working with concepts within ourselves.
There’s no way that my life can be set in order just by hearing a few positive words. What would you say if I told you that you can go away from here this morning with just such a feeling and expression? You might say, “Well, if that happens, I’m sure it would be a mask I’m wearing, because I have problems of conflict and grief. This might seem to describe the feeling of a truly happy and fulfilled person. A smile on your face, a song in your heart, and a spring in your step.
