HAPPINESS
I am taken with the word happiness
Happy Happy Happy
Something about it tells me it’s unique
We should use it more in mantras
I use it in a frequent mantra I composed
“Royal rising
“Freely flying
“Happy landing”
When I get to Happy Landing my face lights up
My mood brightens
I am in an imagined Spirit flight
My earthly situation is modified
It works

Words have immense and untapped power
We all know this
Some words rise up from group consciousness
Like “Woke”
Used by the Right pejorative for being useless
I use it as a commendation
Sometimes nasty usages become positive
“Methodists” were originally the deluded followers of John Wesley
Over time the word became a positive ID for a massive denomination

I work with words
It is my calling
It is my avenue to influence
I pray my influence is good
4
So happiness has power
It evokes the state and mood that the word itself carries
It is a winner in the direct influence category
Repeating mantras with happy or happiness works
The etymology suggests happy meant luck originally
Good fortune or luck
Also blessed from the Middle English “hap”
I take its present meaning to be what we make it
Our sense gives a word meaning
5
Such reflections are for me a prod
I shall work with happy and happiness
They are after all the very stuff of beatitude
And I once claimed Jesus was the author of
The Beatitudinal Way
Happy are those who thirst for righteousness
And so forth
I now claim he is the very center of Heaven
Regardless happiness is big for me now
Words are big, huge in fact
So I believe
