In the following essays I am trying to show how a collection of ordinary logical observations and deductions lead to one's happiness. Below is a 'cut to the chase' arrangement of those observations.
The capacity for logic is inherent. Logic does not have to be proved, only demonstrated. [Chap. 26]
There is a profound difference between logic (of probabilities) and emotional "certainty" (of beliefs). [Chap. 3]
The Supreme Being (TSB) exists and is beneficent. [Chap. 1]
There is no separation possible between TSB and you. [Chap. 1, 4]
It is not possible for TSB to experience what has not happened i.e., the future. [Chap. 6] (Awareness of this fact is critical to understanding oneself and all Earth activities.)
Humans (and others) are continually having experiences. [Chap. 7]
TSB is continually adding to Its experience of Itself. [Chap. 7]
Humans are a combination of an Immortal Spirit and an impermanent Body. [Chap. 1, 8, 9, 10]
Any Human can seem to be alone because of his unique viewpoint and communication difficulties. This aloneness forces interaction with others. [Chap. 4]
The Human Body has a Mind. [Chap. 10]
The male Mind is different from the female Mind. [Chap. 11]
There is competition between the Body-Mind, which just wants to survive and the Spirit's desire to have experiences. [Chap. 10, 12]
The Spirit can, and does, override the Body-Mind. [Chap. 10]
The Inner-You (Spirit) determines each life/game for the Human-You. The way you play it is free will. [Chap. 24, 34, 35]
All experiences can be joyful. Only ignorance produces unhappiness. [Chap. 1, 2, 3]
Your immediate happiness lies in doing your best, not the result. [Chap. 6, 24]
Your overall happiness lies in awareness of what's going on, i.e., the enormous cooperation in you getting what you want. [Chap. 1, 8, 12]
The thing to remember is that the Spirit-You will survive anything and everything and wind up back in Heaven. [Chap. 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10]
There's no logical basis for unhappiness anywhere. (Unhappy Heaven is an oxymoron.) [Chap. 9]
Inexorable logical conclusion of above: if you just taught the interconnectedness of all things in grade school some kid would say, " But that means I'm God too". Bingo!
