Channel: A.S.
My dearest brothers and sisters,
This is Hakann speaking. I greet you in peace and love.
Many people take the following approach:
– First make sure you have a functional life, where your needs are met and all major problems are taken care of.
– Then try to find happiness.
But the problem is that when people directly aim for happiness, typically that leads to them consuming things, or pursuing short-term pleasure, or collecting physical things or money, or just repeatedly doing what is comfortable or fun or dopamine-providing in the moment. Which doesn’t provide inherent, lasting happiness.
Instead, the way to truly become happy is to not aim for happiness.
What I suggest that you do instead is:
– First make sure you have a functional life, where your needs are met and all major problems are taken care of.
– Then focus on improving yourself or on contributing.
So the first point is unchanged.
The second point can be anything from meditating, to going to a psychologist, to learning a new skill, to getting better at an existing skill, to creating something, to doing volunteer work, to doing a small act of kindness, to improving one of your routines, to observing whatever arises.
You absolutely don’t need to do all of these, but it’s a good idea to do one or two of these.
You also don’t need to go overboard and spend huge amounts of time and energy on improving yourself or contributing. The base of the pyramid is still making sure you have a functional life and your needs are taken care of. Likely that will take most of your time and energy (and in certain periods, possibly even all of your time and energy). That’s okay.
Also, self-improvement takes time. If you feel you progress slowly, well, you’re still progressing. You’re still investing in yourself. Not everyone is.
If you focus on improving yourself or contributing, then in time you will find happiness, rooted in the excellence of the skills you’ve built, rooted in your feeling of competence and agency, rooted in the contributions you’ve made.
Which is a much more lasting, inherent, enduring, meaningful kind of happiness than the kind of “happiness” you get from consumption or just by constantly focusing on doing fun things.
Plus it’s much better for the world if people focus on self-improvement and contribution, rather than on consumption.
I hope this was helpful.
With all my love,
Your star brother,
Hakann

A Functioning Life:
The funny thing is, according to my process, there is no such thing as a non-functioning life. In fact, the less a life looks “like a functioning life”, the more functional it is, he says.
It’s been a long time since these connections were made clear to me, but it made perfect sense. Whatever we do here, for example job-wise, is essentially just a metaphor. And if we do nothing at all, i.e. are unemployed, that’s also only a metaphor. The structure surrounding this topic like all topics, is enormous. Countless “if this then that” scenarios, all of which depend on “WHO WE REALLY ARE”.
I’ve already talked often enough about what it was like for me when, at the very beginning, I first had to grasp that I wasn’t at fault at all for my super-chaotic (old) life. Rather, that it was already set in stone before it even began.
What I’ve found completely INSANE ever since is HOW I WAS GIVEN TO BE the way I was, like in this situation:
“THE MOVE” which is still ahead of us on a macro level, has already happened in my little life. Back then, of course, I didn’t know what I know now and simply thought I was moving to the next town over because the lease on my house had expired.
I made a long wish list and started looking well in advance, fully believing it would all work out. But when I still hadn’t found anything three weeks before I thought, NOW you have to compromise. There were only 10 days left, and so, unhappy, I accepted an apartment just to avoid being homeless. Then, three days before the move-in date, I got a call: The painting wouldn’t be finished on time, and would I mind moving in three days later? THANK GOODNESS I said I didn’t want the apartment then. (Not only did this seem a bit odd to me, but I had also already organized everything…)
ONLY THEN! did this lady offer me a different apartment in the same building complex. I drove there, she opened the door, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. My wish list was grinning at me from every angle, only everything was even better.
Needless to explain the reason for this “lil💎story”, right😘?
Ummmmmmmmm…… head scratch 🤔
Is this for Ed?
Or any other chain gang member at a crossroads?
It can’t be for me…. I meant it, when I said my next hypothetical stop would be a women’s halfway house.
I don’t think I’m hardy enough to live in my car.
I’m thrilled to hear that you, despite terrible uncertainties, have made a 🥰wonderful move🤩!!! 👏👏👏
So happy for you 💜❤️💜
No Klaudia, no moves are on the way for me 🙂↕️
I can’t truly complain, I’m in a safe position, even if it’s not how I envisioned myself,
back in my 20’s or whatever.
😌💎♥️
Ahhhhhhh, K, all that morose, dreary stuff building up, for quite a while now.
I was able to release a bunch…
Will releasing translate to happy beneficial changes for me?
It never has so far, but I’m not ruling it out 🙂
Time will tell.
I won’t hold my breath about it, though 😂😂😂
❤️💎
Believe me Lil🤫, I NEVER know in advance for whom or what I’m writing something, but THE ACT OF WRITING creates NEW CONNECTIONS within me that suddenly allow me to see so many things in a New Light.
However, your question about WHO this comment is addressed to is completely valid🙏🙏, though I’m only realizing that now. The answer is only just beginning to emerge.
It’s really not easy for me, this “collecting of bits of consciousness” and then having to figure out how they actually fit together. But, compared to you, I always see the common thread, even if it sometimes takes 24 hours for the next “aha!” moment to hit.
I’ve wondered countless times how you manage to endure all this WITHOUT this inner safety net. And the other thing is, until this whole ascension madness started, I at least had a pretty good, functioning life. At least in retrospect. But you?
I don’t know much about the reasons why we two met here, but this LIL bit is enough. And strangely enough, it’s connected to PRIDE😳. For years, I’ve had this feeling on my radar, constantly reminded that I don’t actually know it at all. Like an alien, I’ve been searching for it. Like a dog, I’ve tried to sniff at what people mean when they use this word. Joy, fun, enthusiasm for my own and everyone else’s successes, yes, but the word “pride” was never among them. It’s coming now, through the act of writing this AND YOU!
“I AM WORD” I love you 💎❤️😁
Hi Hakann. I think the main problem is people can’t achieve the first point. If you can’t achieve the first point, the second point becomes hard regardless if you are trying to find happiness or working on self improvement or contributing. I think the solution to this is to flip the script. Instead of starting with the first point, start with the second point. Either try to find happiness in the most basic things or try to work on self improvement and contributing, regardless if you can achieve the first point or not. The belief that the first point has to be achieved first is holding many people back. I know this from personal experience.
So basically change the belief that the first point has to come first.
Namaste.
Most people will probably say they can’t afford to dedicate themselves to the ‘second priority’ because they haven’t secured the first (having a functional life, eradicating major problems).
Some will rest on the cornerstone that it is impossible due to factors external to them; that the system is built to prevent operating with what they consider minimum functionality. They are not entirely wrong.
A few, more honest and seasoned ones will have realized that they are responsible for anything less than functional in their lives, but are still in the lengthy process of making peace with it and learning to work with what they have/ was brought to their lives by their souls.
Personally I’ve given up finishing item #1 before starting with #2 because I believe they are related, like a Rubik’s cube: you can’t solve it linearly one face at a time.
I don’t think that Happiness is something you find after some time dedicating yourself to self-improvement and world-contributing, but the actual method to achieve both.
This can’t be learned in a supportive environment/world, but the limited life of Earth provides the required pressure to merge survival and prosperity priorities into a single stronger structure, like a diamond.
Hmmm, A.S.,
if I had the energy, I may have felt inspired by Hakonn’s simplistic advice…
But, as a so called awakened person, I’m still solidly in the first group, just hanging in there; choosing short term pleasure 🥯☕️🥗
I’ve never had the extra energy or motivation to volunteer or develop a skill – not that I have any to develop…🤤
…too much effort either way 😮💨
And I consider myself a thoughtful person 😂😂😂
So, I find myself agreeing with Art, the real gem in this message, is you, A.S.!🎁
Struggling as you are, and still in service all the same.
☝️ I hope brother P’s appreciate you!
😁💎♥️
Regardless of if it was helpful, thankyou A.S for being a channel of light in this world.
It wasn’t helpful.
My life is total hell with pain and misery and many major needs unmet for decades.
I’m sorry.
How was this even supposed to be helpful? 🤔 Stating the obvious doesn’t make it any easier. Otherwise everyone would already be happy and “have all their needs met”
