Often we clear blocks that interfere with states like pleasure. Happiness is a little more complicated, because it wasn’t directly forbidden. It was obliquely forbidden by making obligation, responsibility and other tribal requirements more important. Therefore, if you’re feeling happy, it has to end soon so you can get back to being a productive tribal member. Moments of happiness may be okay, but be sure to get back to work.
One metaphor is clinging vine weeds that drain the nutrients and choke a plant in your garden. The plant exists, but the life gets sucked out of it and it’s stifled. It’s time to claim thriving happiness in full bloom.
