What Is Bliss? What is bliss? Supreme joy, unencumbered. What prevents us from embracing it? Turmoil. Our conditioned responses, including fear, that make us biased and hypercritical. Younger children know bliss all the time, without seeking it, because their conditioning is still minimal. As adults, it may be difficult for us to experience bliss because we are polluted with prejudices, preconceived notions, guilt, and mistrust, all of which obscure joy. So clear a path for profound appreciation that transcends understanding. Do not limit yourself. Contribute. Some of us find bliss helping in a soup kitchen. Discover what brings you that peace and contentment.
