Who is Happier, a Lotto winner or a Paraplegic? As per Harvard Psychologist, Dan Gilbert who states scientific data, after a year lotto winners and paraplegics are synonymously happy with their lives. Dan Gilbert is the author of the book Stumbling on Happiness. Toltec wisdom has stated for centuries that experience follows perception, and you have command over how you perceive life. You can either perceive life in a positive way or a bad way. If you perceive a problem as a challenge that will empower you and help you grow, it will do just that - benefit you. Gilbert talks about how Homo Sapiens have a Frontal lobe or Prefrontal Cortex. This miraculous aparatus is an experience simulator. Human Sapiens can simulate experience ahead of when it occurs. In his labs Gilbert has discovered that our experience simulator doesn't perform as well as it should. He calls this phenomenon, Impact Bias. The experience simulator causes us to believe that diverse outcomes are more different than they genuinely are. Things like winning or losing, gaining or losing a romantic partner, and so on, have far less impact, acuteness and duration than people anticipate them to have. Gilbert cites a recent study of how major life traumas affect people suggest that, if it happened more than three months ago, it has no impact on your happiness. This is also shown in Toltec writings such as The Four Agreements. Gilbert states natural happiness is when we receive what we wanted. Synthetic happiness is what you make when you don't acquire what you wanted. Particularly in Western Society we have a ardent belief that synthetic happiness is worse than natural happiness. Gilbert states that our whole economic structure is built on the principle that you must get what you desire to be happy, that a shopping mall filled with Zen monks isn't going to be profitable because they don't want stuff. Toltecs understand that it is all about how you perceive things. A man compliments a woman bout her hair, for example. It makes one woman happy as she perceives what he said as a compliment. Another woman, who was raised with her brothers teasing her about her hair and has an emotional charge about it, will perceive what the man says completely different than the first woman. Due to, what Toltecs call one's inventory, Due to emotional charges from her past being brought up by the man's words, she will have a adverse experience. The experience simulator is not working properly. From a Toltec or Metaphysical viewpoint, I would go beyond what Gilbert states in his talk, that what he calls synthetic happiness is actually true happiness as it is not dependent on what happens to us in our lives. What Gilbert calls natural happiness is ephemeral as when we don't get what we wish, or lose what we had, we are not happy. It is a powerless type of happiness because we are 100% dependent on our external circumstances. Knowing this, we can no longer blame people, events or situations external to us for causing us to be unhappy. Only we can make ourselves happy by using the gifts we all carry. Now you know that you have the entirety of what you need to be happy inside you. Unless you are a Homo Habilis (an ancient man/woman), and doesn't have a Pre Frontal Cortex, you possess the whole range of what you need to be happy right within your grey matter. All you need are the tools to return it to a fine running machine. The Toltec Path provides these tools. Clutching For Your Desires? Keeping Away Things You Don't Like? Instead, Engage In This And Initiate The Law Of Attraction If you push someone what happens? They push back. Grab someone's hand and pull them, what happens? They pull away. Grasping at something you want can actually stop you from having it.
