And um to your earlier point , you know , most of my life , if I were to describe it in a late person's way , I'd say most of my life , I was deeply , truly unhappy . In other words , I was perfectly unaware of the innate and intrinsic and inherent happiness that existed within myself and all of us at all points in time . I mean , that's why I was depressed and suicidal , you know , for so long .

In fact , I'd say we're 100% happiness , but we're not aware of our innate , intrinsic and inherent happiness 100% of the time . And so what we usually normally think of as happiness is actually awareness of the preexisting sort of in eternal happiness that exist within and as all of us all the time . And that's why you can have a moment where you feel extraordinarily unhappy , nothing around you changes , nothing inside of you necessarily changes , you suddenly feel happy or vice versa .
Um The difference is , and this is the , where the , and the comes in , we're 100% happy .
