You are omnipotence in disguise!

If you have never been unhappy, how can you know that you are happy?

If you have never been dead, how can you know that you are alive? You are omnipotence in disguise, divided into phases by time in an endless repetitive oscillation.

You are the chess player, the opponent, the bar man, the security guard, Socrates and the child to be born tomorrow. You are the employer and the employee.

You are happy, unhappy, funny, serious, lucky, ill-fated, rich, poor, smart, dull, predator, prey, victor, victim.

You are you and everything else. Time transforms you continuously forever. But somewhere inside that endless transformation, you have a choice to be transformed into anything you so desire to be to the extent to which you are awake to it.

There is no past, there is no future, only the present within which you are endlessly transforming. You are, you, omnipotence in disguise, even to itself.

A little girl demands to be carried by her father in his arms, she cries until her wish is granted. The feel of his strong arms makes her happy. But that happiness is short-lived, it disappears with time. She soon demands to be let go so she can go play with her friends. She cries until her new wish is granted.

To an observer, it is as though the happiness has left her father’s arms into the game her friends are playing.

The little girl grows up putting herself through incredible suffering to earn a certificate in school. Maybe, the certificate will make her happy. And truly it does when it comes. She is soon a proud certificate holder, her friends and family celebrates with her.

But that happiness soon disappears as she realizes she will be needing a job or she’ll be unhappy forever. She does everything she can, gets a job and she’s happy. Then she realizes she’ll need a promotion.

The cycle continues, her happiness appears to be an elusive trickster, jumping from one object to another endlessly, taking away part of her life at every stage.

As she travels through her life, happiness eludes her. To the philosopher, it appears that happiness is not what you pursue but what you become. You are omnipotence in disguise, aren’t you?

She finds a boy friend, he makes her happy, but soon she becomes bored and needs to find another. She spends her youth looking for that perfect boyfriend, moving from one to another. Luckily enough, she finds him and they get married. Finally, she’ll be happy forever!
Nope, he soon becomes boring again. At that point she wants to jump out of the marriage to go play with her friends. She cries until that wish is granted, and she’s happy.

The happiness disappears again.

So who decides whether the journey is interesting — the road or the traveler?

Is happiness within the road or within the traveler? Its within the traveler, isn’t it? Then why do some people have to travel to be happy for a while? Maybe the road helps them realize the happiness within. So what happens when the journey is over or stays too long? The happiness goes with it, isn’t it? Then the traveler needs to make another journey to gain some new dose of happiness.

A vicious cycle, isn’t it?

But if the traveler is awake, they can look inward and be happy even without having to travel. Some call this meditation. One rich man needs to buy a second luxury car to be happy, one poor man and his family of 7 all live in one tiny room and they are all happy like crazy all their lives.

Happiness is within the traveler isn’t it? The pain is within the victim. The fun is within the swimmer not in the water. The brilliance is within the scholar not in the books. The traveler is omnipotence in disguise, right?

Can science be taken away from the scientist? Can math be taken away from the mathematician? Not possible, right?

So if the young girl decides to become happiness, can anyone take away what she has become? No, she is omnipotence.

If you decide to look inward and become anything, can it be taken away from you? You are you are omnipotence in disguise, aren’t you?
