Happiness is fulfilment, which comes through one's realization of the whole. Realization of the whole of all that is gives rise to the feeling of wholeness, which is fulfilment, or happiness. A created being is genuinely happy when it realizes the whole and feels fulfilled. Happiness is transient and elusive on the worlds of darkness. The darkened creatures may only glimpse the whole and feel happiness in a fleeting moment. This is because they are disconnected from all that is, as a matter of individual choice. In this disconnected way of life, sustained realization of the whole is impossible. Yet every creature has the potential to realize the whole, because all creatures arise in and belong to all of what is. The creatures are integral with Creation. Any creature may realize the whole of life by discovering her own presence at life's essence: awareness of is.
