In Robert Scheinfeld’s “busting loose vocabulary” joy, or rather, True Joy, means much more than it usually does. He explains it in detail in his brand new “A Path To True Joy” multimedia introduction.
To me, the experience of True Joy was really puzzling at first: All of a sudden, I felt this wonderful joy (all kinds and shades of it), and I was so used to it coming from outside of me, that I spent quite some time looking for its source all over the place! It was cute, I think, me looking around and trying to find out what made me feel so happy. Was there a special letter in my inbox? No. Me winning in lottery? No. A new work opportunity? No. A new friend or lover waiting just around the corner? Nothing of the kind. Everything “out there” was “as usual” (or sometimes even appearing worse than usual ) - yet there was all this Joy within me! Weird…
As time went by, it became more natural that it comes from within and that I take it with me where ever I go, into every experience. I find myself enjoying every situation, every moment, every person exactly as is. I don’t really need to change anything (what a relief! ). And yet, it all keeps on changing, keeps on transforming, as True Joy keeps on expanding.
Yes, True Joy is an expansive feeling as such - there is no upper limit to it, and it does not make you explode either. :-) It can be experienced as peace, joy, wisdom, happiness, love, abundance, creativity, humor - any state that you would attribute to what Robert Scheinfeld calls busting loose and others call awakening or enlightenment.
By the way, I notice how Robert’s “labels” of his teaching materials are changing and expanding too: From the “Busting Loose series” to “Journey to The Infinite” and now “A Path To True Joy“. A path - not the path! An infinitely creative Being - and that’s who you really are! - plays with many variations of a path and as many unique ways to walk it as there are people doing the walk.
