For many people, it does not happen often. With consciousness, it can happen more often. Ken Keyes, in the Handbook to Higher Consciousness, states that happiness is a moment of recognition that all is right with the world. Bliss is when we string these moments together long enough to have them present in the eternal now. It may take years to obtain this level of consciousness.
Some people never do.
It is the recognition that we truly understand. It is letting go of the problems at hand. When we reach this state of enlightenment, we know it. It is an ah- moment when all is well with the world. Beyond the Classroom Genevieve Weirich is a special education teacher.
