This date, is so far the earliest date -
I've found of a reference -
to my discovery work -
on the concept of happiness.
It's pretty funny -
when I opened the found old Word doc -
titled:
"The Pursuit of Happiness"
in Google tools -
all that existed -
was two lines:
1) The Pursuit of Joe's Happiness
bolded
2) Define happiness
as the first numbered bulleted item.
Nothing else.
I have however done extensive work and writing on the subject.
I'll attempt now to provide -
my latest discoveries and thoughts -
on the concept happiness.
I found the old website, I created using WordPress:
The post date on this is:
09 Nov 2009
So after this chapter date.
I'm sure some of what I will write now -
includes pieces of what I discovered back then -
plus new discoveries made since.
First a little background...
I've been searching for happiness all my life.
I guess because -
I just never seemed to be as happy -
as everyone else that surrounded me.
Maybe because I see things that are more truth than pretending.
As of today...
I believe there's one very special type of happiness to focus on.
It's a type of happiness that's a reward for good work done.
TAP believes that the purpose of the universe -
is the truth pursuit.
Everything exists -
to generate important info -
and to evolve intelligence to get to the hidden truth within the info.
It takes work and effort to identify the truth within the info.
Whether false truth is identified or real truth found -
both help fulfill the primary objective.
The individual human being gets the reward of increased happiness for the effort.
Maybe only a blip up and then fleeting quickly -
that blip of happiness -
positively impacts the single mind and life.
The long-term reward is understanding and knowledge based more on truth -
that will ALWAYS provide long-term advantage to the person.
Don't be fooled by short-term gains.
You do NOT exist -
to be 100% selfish.
We each are here to -
add a small component of truth -
to the overall understanding of all truth.
We are each a potential contributor -
to a single overall evolving truth story.
In my search for a better understanding of happiness -
I made several discoveries.
First, that the truth pursuit -
is baked into our DNA.
Every human being -
unconsciously and continuously -
seeks the truth -
of all things -
they are aware of -
in the world and universe.
TAP will tell you that this is true for all forms of intelligence -
across the universe.
As intelligence evolves,
this primary objective of the universe -
becomes more conscious.
Awareness and purpose of everything become clearer.
Second, that happiness is the reward for the work -
that any individual gives the objective.
It takes time and effort -
to pursue the truth.
And personal happiness is the reward -
for the effort given.
Third, but happiness is NOT automatic and guaranteed -
instead something else is key -
to being able to self-generate the happiness -
within one's mind and body.
That key something else is:
feedback.
Feedback from another or other perceived intelligence.
We say perceived intelligence -
because it need NOT be actual intelligence.
E.g. concepts like angels, souls, Gods, ghosts, pets with advanced perceived intelligence, etc -
all fulfill that feedback need,
for many individuals.
The feedback entity need not be real.
The mind only need -
think it real.
The feedback itself can be almost anything:
data
info
story
a vision
a sign
a dream
a thought
etc.
The feedback need NOT be positive feedback -
negative feedback is often just as good.
Meaning -
when we learn something is non-truth -
it in of itself is truth.
So re the truth pursuit -
both polar extreme types of feedback -
can evoke happiness.
The less helpful feedback is the type that falls between the two extremes:
uncertainty
misunderstanding
mixed signals
misinformation
disinformation
bad context
confusion
lying
deception
etc.
The mind that seeking the truth -
has much to assess -
with each component of feedback.
We must separate the good sources from the bad sources.
Fourth, the need for feedback from reliable sources -
clearly explains why socialization -
is so vitally important to beings that possess intelligence.
It's the primary way to get the absolutely essential feedback.
Fifth, and the more relationships established the better.
It's very much a numbers game.
Because there's no guarantees that feedback response will come -
from the effort and communication (comm) we initiate.
Within almost everything we create,
in our minds,
re comm -
lies some element of truth pursuit.
Mostly unconscious design -
we are always testing truth hypotheses -
on those we comm to.
How do they feel about this or that?
In the end, will you trust others or yourself?
Most people trust the crowd and not their own minds.
Sixth, the numbers game -
explains why most people -
will do almost anything to become famous.
Celebrities have larger feedback pools -
than do non-famous individuals.
The larger the comm audience -
the greater the chances to get meaningful and helpful feedback.
Everyone seeks to maximize their happiness!
Almost no one understands -
all this hidden primary objective -
of seeking the truth.
Seventh, but it only requires one entity -
to provide us empathetic feedback -
to get the survival feedback.
It does not even need to be a real person.
For many , God is all that is needed.
Comm with God -
then look for signs in the real world or dream feedback.
But those real-world relationships with real people -
giving real comm feedback -
just seem a little better.
Now imagine, if we could get real feedback -
from a real alien of another world.
To be able to tap into their world's reality -
and understanding of the universe,
especially their understanding of truth.
What might this do to our understanding of universal truth?
[maybe more coming]
