Should i give up chasing rainbows

Are you useful? Are you happy? We measure our lives by imagined abstract yardsticks. Why do we have to weigh and measure ourselves? Why do we have to compare the measurements of our lives to each other's? I am finding it increasingly astonishing that the very basis of our understanding of who we are is based on a constructed idea of what we should be. In order to be accepted, we have to conform - and yet the people we admire are the people who stand out as different.

It is, perhaps, one of the greatest paradoxes of human society. The pursuit of happiness is so ingrained in our western culture that it is written into the US Declaration of Independence as a right. While we don't live under this constitution in Australia, our global community has led to us assuming certain parallels to at least the good bits of the cultures of neighbouring national communities.

Former WA Premier Geoff Gallop highlighted how happiness is now more of a pre-packaged consumer good than an abstract goal, recognising that "the consumer society even has the capacity to absorb and co-opt that which seeks to transform it" in his piece for The Sydney Morning Herald , "The pursuit of happiness". We confuse happiness, I think. We confuse it with satisfaction, with contentment, with joy, with pleasure. The state of happiness often involves all of these abstracts, but there are important distinctions to be drawn in our understanding here.

Which means, maybe it will work for you. When people ask me how they can heal or how their situation can get better, I see the place on their insides which feels tired and needy and even a little bit desperate. How can this get better for me? The answers are inside. You are a spark of the Divine , you come from Source, God, Christ consciousness.

And that means you ARE this consciousness as well. You come from the same energy that creates worlds! There is not one single rainbow outside yourself you can chase which has the power to heal you the way searching your heart for the answer does. You need to do the work from the inside out.
