STOP FAKING YOUR JOY
Screaming about winning and chasing the next external high isn't spiritual connection. It's just your ego trying to prove it survived the war
The Internal War
The parts of you screaming, “We won, we crushed them, we destroyed,” alongside the parts whispering in anxiety, “I don’t believe, I don’t trust”—they are all part of the exact same exhausting human drama. This is entirely an internal war; it is not external reality. Everything happening in the outside world—the friction, the crashes, the endless fights—is just a precise reflection of your own internal gaps.
The real work is to end the war inside. The goal is to reach a state where your inner light produces a frequency that does not depend on the outside world for a single millimeter of its validation. Only when you finish the battle inside yourself, and stop obsessively clinging to whatever you happen to be feeling or thinking in the moment, does the external world stop being a warzone.
The Lie of the “High”
We constantly confuse human enthusiasm with joy. True, boundaryless joy is not found in wild partying, unrestrained behavior, or losing your mind on a dance floor. That is not the frequency of connection; that is just the ego looking for a release and a high.
True joy is incredibly quiet. It lives in a completely calm heart, in hugging eyes, and in a steady presence that doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. We act way too human, constantly chasing the next thrill to validate us, instead of grounding ourselves and connecting to the movement of the soul toward the Infinite Light.
The World of Lies
You will never extract a single drop of true joy from the outside world. Not from honor, not from assets, not from wealth, not from your successes, and not even from relationships when they are just used for status and approval. The architecture calls all of this Alma DeShikra (The World of Lies—an illusion where the external form hides the internal essence).
The only true joy comes from touching the Divine point inside. To the exact degree that you turn your gaze inward, you experience an Infinite Light. Your identity shifts from your external image to a total identification with the root of life itself. That is where the quiet lives.
ORIYA’S NOTE
Think about how we live. We are convinced that joy is closing a massive deal and screaming “I won,” or going to a party and completely losing our minds, or finally getting the respect and honor we think we deserve from everyone around us. We live on the edge. We actually need the drama. We need the fights with our wives just so we can feel the rush of being right, of controlling the situation, and making her fall in line.
But the architecture here puts a brutal mirror in front of us: all that noise is just ego. It’s not joy; it’s just massive internal anxiety looking for external validation. You know that moment when you catch rage, when you just want to destroy her chutzpah to prove you’re the boss? That is just your own broken internal drama being projected onto her. The war isn’t with her. It’s inside of you. You are just demanding that the outside world validate you.
The second you stop looking for the win on the outside—the second you drop the need for the money, the honor, or for everyone to worship you—it gets quiet. Real joy isn’t some psychotic enthusiasm or the thrill of crushing your competition. It’s a completely silent heart. It is the absolute knowing that you are connected to the Source, and nothing on the outside can touch that. Stop fighting the world, man. End the war inside.
