When are we most peaceful and happiest?

There are 4  States of consciousness. The first one is the conscious state. The second one is the dreamy state. The third one is the subconscious state. The fourth one beyond all three is the happiest.

We are in this state every night when we go in to deep sleep. There are no thoughts,the mind is not active and there's nothing to distract.

This is the happiest and the most peaceful state. We all know it ,yet we try to avoid it all the time.

Be it our need to be recognised ,to be part of a group ,to be continuously in touch,to be continuously busy ....

Technology and more importantly the businesses are trying to help us do all the above, not for our sake but for their commercial needs.

While it's easy to blame the technology to keep us forever busy, it is our innate need to be a social animal that makes us embrace these technologies with gusto.

What is forgotten or ignored is to be at peace with nothing and nobody. That's really the deep sleep state in which we are the happiest.

The more desperation with which we try to be in the first three states ,the more restless and unhappy we become.

Our natural state is the fourth state. You are at once more peaceful and blissful when you tried to be in the fourth state than the others.

That is not a technology issue but your own choice.
