Truths Along the Path of Consciousness
Happiness is relative; it grows or diminishes according to each person’s level of consciousness. Absolute happiness does not exist on Earth because everything embodied on Earth is relative and subject to the law of relativity… while all that is absolute exists beyond the system of creation!
A person’s actions towards themselves first, and towards others second, determine their level of consciousness, and consequently the extent of their happiness… for happiness grows with the growth of consciousness, and vice versa!
Everyone experiences pain according to their capacity to endure and understand it. Therefore, people do not differ in the magnitude of their pain, but in the level of their consciousness! The ratio of pain to consciousness is equal for all. In other words, if the ratio of your pain to your level of consciousness is seventy percent, then the ratio of another person’s pain relative to their level of consciousness is likewise seventy percent; yet the level of consciousness itself differs. Therefore, everyone experiences pain in equal proportion!
