The production of the happiness hormone is provoked by what’s called mindset – thoughts, in simple terms. That is, happiness is born in relation. This is a priori. What kind of relation is needed to be happy and for this happiness hormone to be produced?
I believe there are no “other halves” in romantic relationships. The reason masochistic souls wander the planet in proud solitude is their sacred belief that not just anyone will do—that “such a person has not been born yet.” Defining a woman or man as “someone’s dream” limits our possibilities in who we think we can build relationships with.
Love is not a feeling. It’s not something we experience as “beautiful yearning” or any other poetic sensation—hormonal surges, desire, passion? Those are not love. They are simply yearning, desire, passion, hormones, and often neurotic responses shaped by neglect or unmet needs.
I approached this from the perspective of the space of possibilities. As you probably know (and if not, here’s my take), we live within a space of infinite possibilities. Each of us chooses from this space according to our thoughts and feelings.
About the contract… I think that in those realms where the decision about life’s conditions is made, the concept of a “contract” is inappropriate. But the idea that we make a choice — along with all the life circumstances — I also believe in that.
I’m reading this amazing book by Joe Vitale called Zero Limits. Joe is the guy from the movie The Secret who talked about being broke in Dallas for 15 years—and then, suddenly, everything changed and he became rich. Lots of other incredible things happened to him too. But this book isn’t about how he got rich.
My periodic desire to escape from myself has nothing to do with a desire for death or an end to life. It suddenly clicked for me what Eckhart Tolle meant when he said he had wanted to kill himself — and how, in the very moment he realized it, he understood that he didn’t actually want to leave life, but wanted to kill himself — the version of himself he was not.
If we accept as a given that the reality around us is shaped by our consciousness and sensations, and that the conscious, aware part of us is unconditional, then for any reality to feel truly real, it must first be perceived. Everything that can make up reality happens.
Today, it suddenly occurred to me why I develop myself. Why I study and learn to be wise, why I develop my projects… It’s not just for the sake of enjoying the process of developing projects. There’s an important element here — to feel myself in the process. So, why do I need all of this? Well, the goal is clear — to be happy.
