Which raises the question, what is the difference between bliss, joy and happiness?

Bliss is the nature of Being, knowing itself to exist without limitation, unchanging.

Joy is the nature of the Soul, or consciousness. This joy is unconditional, arising spontaneously from within in each moment.

Happiness is sought by the personality, but this is temporary and usually conditional on something happening which makes us happy. The problem with seeking happiness on this level is that we cannot avoid also experiencing the opposite when things do not happen as we wish.

So yes, let us cultivate joyous awareness by learning to rest in consciousness.

Peace.
