If time is simply the mind’s way of organizing experience, then our happiness need not be invested in the past or the future. We explored how happiness is not something acquired through events, achievements or relationships but is the very nature of our being – always present, always available. When this is recognized, the search for happiness in external circumstances begins to fall away. The future is no longer a pursuit but a space in which causeless joy that is already present can be expressed. You now use your happiness in service of the world rather than using the world in service of your happiness.
