Exposing the Happiness and Love Myth

An Interview with Authors of ‘Take Me to Truth, Undoing the Ego’

Question: “You are challenging our accepted beliefs on Happiness and Love by saying that true happiness is really a demolition project…what exactly do you mean by that?”

A. It is impossible to achieve lasting happiness and love without facing up to and undoing the one inhibitor of possible lasting joy. The unrecognized problem that we all face is an identity from which all desiring and manifesting arises. We’re talking about the ‘me’ we think we are. This ‘me’ is a mass of uninvestigated beliefs; it’s a mistaken identity and nothing even close to ‘Who’ we really are. This ‘me’ is the ego and it’s the unquestioned imposter who unconsciously runs our lives. It’s always seeking the next happiness, approval or love “fix”. And it has no idea what you truly need.

The unquestioned ego is based on fear and separation. Sure, it says it wants love, happiness and peace but it will never let you have it. Why? Because it’s hidden agenda is “Seek and never find!”

The ego is the false-self, a gigantic cover-up to disguise and distract our attention from the one thing we all suffer from. Deep down in all of us exists a seeming bottomless pit of “emptiness”. And it’s this hidden emptiness that drives all our needs for love, happiness, security, approval. There’s only one block to lasting love, peace and happiness and that’s the uninvestigated ego and without demolishing it, we can forget lasting love or happiness.

Question: “If the ego has been running our lives, who are we and what is it that we really want?”

A. As the ego’s belief system is undone, so are fear, conflict and anxiety released. We begin to recognize and claim a quality that most of us just never had, one that we spend our lives searching for in all the wrong places. Its called peace; a deep sense of inner security, one that can’t be threatened by another person, circumstance or anything outside us. There’s a sense of divine safety, it even goes beyond just a feeling; it’s more like a knowing…a state of awareness where you know that you’re loved unconditionally and that no matter what happens it’s all in favor of your own best interests. You have absolutely no doubt, therefore you experience no suffering. And as the ego is released it’s this profound state of peace that we find ourselves to be.

Most of what we ‘think’ we want such as a new relationship, a new look, a great career, money, or fame are just cover-ups for our deeper unconscious desire for this deep sense of inner security.

The human dilemma we all face is this endless cycle of seeking pleasure while avoiding pain. We discover new ways to get a happiness fix, ways to distract ourselves from having to face the ego’s fears. We don’t realize that we’re manifesting from the ego, which is a mass of uninvestigated beliefs hiding well below our conscious radar. Innocently we glance at our life and blame others, the past, or circumstances for any adversity we experience.

According to ‘A Course in Miracles’ we’re not who we think we are. And all suffering both personal and collective is born from forgetting just who we are and the purpose we came to fulfill.
