Happiness in life is not luck or fate, it is a skill. This
chapter deals with how you can learn to achieve happiness while
living out your lessons on the physical plane. There are a variety
of skills required for happiness; as you develop these skills,
you extend your own self-love and the love you offer to others.
You can find on what level of happiness you are currently working
by asking yourself this: In what area am I having difficulty right
now? The skill levels for happiness are:
Level 1 : Communication Skills
Level 2: Relationship Skills
Level 3: Problem-Solving Skills
Level 4: Decision-Making Skills
Level 5: Skills for Managing Abundance
Level 6: Leadership Skills (includes Teaching and Parenting)
Level 7: Flow Skills (Expanding your Capacity for Joy)
Our primary reason for creating this "school curriculum"
is to help you to perceive happiness as a learned skill. In the
future, your planet will teach these in school classrooms beside
math and science. Instructing children in happiness skills, presenting
concepts along with plenty of experiential opportunities, allows
youngsters to grasp the cause and effect of personal actions.
Once an individual discovers the power of his/her choices and
actions, a sense of personal responsibility and high self-esteem
is the natural outcome.
Happiness skills influence all spheres of your life -- work, family,
friends, and play. You move magnetically into situations providing
lessons in the skill areas needed to complete your lifeplan. The
first three levels are basic skills which create a good foundation
for the others. As you achieve acceptable skills in these basic
areas, your lessons move into the higher levels. For example,
what if you have problems with abundance, specifically, a lack
of money? Lightworkers for the most part, do not want large amounts
of money to deal with until they have achieved good skills in
the basic areas plus skills at managing the abundance, too. You
lightworkers intend to use money energy in totally harmonic ways,
having already experienced the misuse of money and power in previous
lifetimes.
If you lack the most basic communication skills, such as the ability
to say "no" to an inappropriate request, you will not
allow yourself an excess of money to be mishandled. Whenever you
feel blocked, be sure to look into more basic areas to see what
might be needed.
In spite of what we just said, you do not really work at completing
the levels in order. The most efficient manner to "graduate"
is to move from level to level, constantly expanding all the skills
in a balanced fashion. Happiness skills are best gained in a "revolving"
manner, rather like tightening the lug nuts when changing a tire
on your car; you move from one to another, escalating the overall
level each time around, instead of working on one level all the
way to the end.
We remind you that the ultimate goal of the physical plane is
experience -- of all kinds, not just joy. Each lifetime is like
a science experiment, undertaken to find out "what happens
if . . ." After hundreds of lifetimes on Earth, you now seek
to tighten the focus of the experiment, intending to achieve speedy
growth with joyful experiences instead of painful ones. Do not
forget however, that painful experience is also valid. Others
around you are choosing it every day. Your current goal is to
convert painful experience into something equally effective but
more pleasant. Your experiment in "spiritual alchemy"
begins with yourself; transform the painful areas of your life
into joy. We offer this information to help you in this goal,
but each person chooses between pain and joy without losing the
experience from a lifetime in physical form. If people around
you choose pain, remember that a painful lifetime still fulfills
the soul's desire for experience. Happiness skills also provide
experience, with JOY!
