Sure James, do some research, but not too much. Do not underrate your
happiness and bliss, I recognize your authenticity in it. Do not worry about
the subject-object problem, trying to figure that out is, like you said,
"the deep end of semantics." Analysing the subject-object problem does not
make the problem go away. Will not even help it to disappear. Analysis
prolongs the problem. Analysing the need to love does not make you love. It
may just be a procrastination strategy that we inherited and are now
copy-catting and handing down. There is really no benefit in understanding
any problem... except... it makes for writing a lot of books etc. Analysing
prevents the process of detachment. Analysis is a product of attachment. It
is like picking at a wound to find out if it has healed.. it will not help
it heal... on the contrary.
The more often you are happy (however short or little), the more the
illusion of subject-object dichotomy dissolves. Even though it seems that
happinesss is condition driven... it is not. Even so-called 'consumption
driven happiness' has its place. Underrating that happiness is also plain
judgemental. We don't really know what causes happiness, whatever we say
about it is conceptualizing. There is no reason to be happy... because one
doesn't need a reason to be happy.
Discover that happiness initially is your recovery from duality in any shape
or form. Duality stems from mere astigmatism, double vision, just a problem
with focussing, like some kind of philosophical/psychological squint.
Happiness is enjoying oneness, love, auto-focus (while zooming in and out on
the grand view and its minute detail.)
Duality is just a concept, it is really not something we +experience+, you
may want to check that out.
You might experience spirit or body realities but you never experience the
duality of spirit and body. Only post-reflection and berating judgement
makes you self-conscious of that.
Enjoy your happiness, any kind of happiness, wind up the feeling, give your
chakra energies an extra whirl.
Happiness is an experience of energy, one is allowed to be creative with it,
like extending foreplay, like extending orgasm to such an extent that the
'kockadoodledo' (climax) is not needed anymore (except for procreative
purposes).
My god, how did I get on that track?... Ah, tantra!
Enjoy,
Love, Wim.
