What Makes Us Happy? – July 15, 2023

———————————-———————————

Editor’s Note: Happiness IS our “natural” state of BEing! However, this has been stolen from Humanity by our “controllers” via an unavoidable system of “economic slavery”.

Thus, we are reduced to studying “how” to find happiness! Actually, happiness resides permanently in Quantum, where Self-Love continually expands, always causing ONE to BE in…

Quantum Joy!

——————————————————————

Have you heard of Mappiness? It is a study by George MacKerron and Susana Mourato.

It tracked 3 million happiness measures from more than 60,000 people to create the most complete picture of happiness humans have ever created.

The Mappiness study asked people what they were doing, who they were with, and how happy they felt while doing various everyday activities.

(Quick note: I will wax a bit on happiness later on as I think it’s important to reflect on happiness.)

Below is the full list of tasks and the gain in happiness people experienced vs. not doing the activity. 

Remember, this list is generalized over 60,000 people, you might find some of the lower items make you happier than others.

Activities That Make Us Happy

Sick in Bed −20.4 


Taking a close look at what we do most often or every day as a culture, and how low the happiness score for those activities is vs. other things we COULD be doing more often is quite revealing. 

Social media has a low score, yet we spend so much time on it culturally. Yet being in nature or gardening is high up, yet we barely do that. 

Kids these days spend almost all their time inside and on their phones… and we’re also seeing record levels of kids struggling with mental illness and depression. Worth looking at more deeply.

Exercise is also high on the list, yet on average we get so little of that and it seems like a chore to most of us. 

To go a bit deeper, here is what Mappiness determined is the gain in happiness from being with different people compared to being alone:

The People That Make Us Happy 

Romantic partner 4.51 

Friends 4.38 

Other family members 0.75 

Clients, customers 0.43 

Children 0.27 

Colleagues, classmates −0.29 

Other people participant knows −0.83 

There are a lot of ways to interpret these particular numbers. I’m not sure what to make of folks not feeling too much difference being alone vs their kids…

I also often wonder: would we be answering differently if our culture was healthier overall? What would we say if generally, people loved each other more? Were nicer to each other? Weren’t putting on a mask to impress each other?

In essence, I think these responses match our current culture, but perhaps not our potential.

It seems the more things we do high up on the list, the more we will experience happiness. I know sometimes for me it can be that simple, but at the same time what is behind happiness? Meaning, when we are not happy or sad, what are we?

I remember first starting CE back in 2009, positivity and happiness were HUGE buzzwords. 

There were a million ways to experience either, but there was toxicity in the ways people were constantly chasing positivity and happiness.

I found it much more useful to focus on fundamental well-being. A feeling deep down, that we experience quite regularly throughout each day, that feels calm, peaceful, and that everything is OK.

A feeling birthed within our body and being, not necessarily through what is happening externally. This happens to be the state of a healthy and well-regulated nervous system as well.

Happiness is defined differently by people. I do feel it enriches our experience of life. 

In some definitions, it is a fleeting emotion birthed from experiences, and it can’t be there ALL the time because it is an emotion.

This is why I feel it’s important to also focus less on the external means that make us happy, and more on the internal fundamental well-being that comes from presence.

With that state as our background, the availability of happiness from our external experiences also increases, and we won’t get caught up in the chase. This is freedom in my eyes.

Maybe for the next week, see what it feels like to try out things high up on this list as much as you are able, while doing things lower on the list less if you’re able.

Share this email with a friend who might benefit from this as well!

  1. I would like to see all human souls ascend now: they are endowed with the “spark.”
    If not now, that is possible at sometime in their lives. I still think that not all will
    be able to do that. I hope that no one will be given false hope by “chasing “after
    an “ascension” program,” which reminds me of established dogmas, the very
    approach we have battled and died for. Just saying..It has to be “organic.”

  2. I think there is “no Self-Love” without the celestial seed. No seed, no zygote
    to grow Self-Love: my opinion only. Just wondering….

    1. I “get” your point! The question is… “who” is capable Self-Awareness? Again…focus on Self is of primary focus! 😊🌹💕 ALL will be made known!

      1. Well, if the Self is centered in the HEART, the call will come at some point because
        the “god in you” is innate in you and loving. I think all with a “living soul” will answer the
        call. If one is HEARTLESS, that is condition I cannot comment on. It is urgent that
        we “living souls” pay attention to our own completion/perfection is BECOMING
        One with our Source and not habitually resort to feeding the duality and thereby
        enabling the demons to disable our mission as to why we are here in the first place !
        This is the Place where we are able to become avatars ! Yes ?

  3. I go out in the garden when I feel a bit low. Love the butterflies and watching the bees pollinate the flowers and seeing the trees sway in the breeze. Deep breathe and let it go.
    Find weeding relaxing too strangely enough

  4. Having a reunion with the aliens (my TRUE family and friends), going HOME WITH THEM, getting my true gender and genetics restored, finding a nice alien girl to hook up with and getting a ship of my own to see what’s out beyond this rock. That shall make me happy.

        I need them, no way can I become an alien woman on my own, nor can I make my own spaceship.

        Got news for you, “Going within!” can only do so much. And calling out for help and rescue is NOT something to shame.

        To me, it takes MORE guts to say “Help me” than it does to tackle something alone, especially in my case.

      6. Yes ! Help me is the way. Ask the Light within. The higher power can do anthing and
        everything if you just ask ! I had to do that not knowing very muchk. at all about Higher Self. I took a chance, leap believing that it would happen. God knows your wishes.
        Ask. Be humble enough to admit u cannot do it all on our own. That is what I did.
        Try it!

      8. Asking for help is admirable, yet…finding the best way to achieve a goal is also perhaps more valuable. Miracles do indeed happen, yet require a positive heart glowing with love from already experiencing that which is desired. Perhaps you are here for that reason…? 🌹😊💕

        No, I told you many times, I’m here because the ARCHONS forced me to incarnate here. It’s just that simple.

        People being sent to prisons for no reason, like the poor sods who were sent to the Nazi concentration camps in world war 2, or ‘trouble makers’ in old Russia sent to Siberia, is a very old story, you know.

      10. Ok, you are a POW placed here on Earth as a victim of a Galactic War, and your “job” is to attract (or…just sit and wait while suffering aimlessly?) alien help to fulfill all of your wishes? I wish you the best with waiting impatiently? 🌹😊💕
