Being human is high maintenance. We have to clean our house, our body, our car, shop, cook, eat, pay bills and manage innumerable challenges, traffic, health, different view points and on and on. Not to mention pesticides, mercury toxicity, wars, financial stress, and confused social messages that bombard us on TV, the internet, and from our environment, as well as work related conflicts. Living life from the solar plexus, or from the human perspective alone can feel like a tragedy.
Living life from the third eye adds the spiritual perspective. We are all spirit temporarily on earth, learning to bring a positive influence rather than being in reaction to things not being the way we want. I define happiness as the actualization of our spiritual nature rather then getting everything we want. From this perspective we are not a victim of circumstance.
