Is Happiness a Choice?

[Billy]

From my perspective, the level of happiness you feel is a result of what you place your awareness, which is your spiritual power, upon. There are thoughts consonant with unity, and there are thoughts that are not consonant with unity. Every thought resonates with your spiritual complex in a certain way, and those thoughts that don't will always register a feeling of disharmony, or negativity, with you.

This is why thoughts of judgment about others never feel good, because the spirit inside of you never sees any being in a negative light, so thoughts of judgment about others are one of the most common causes of unhappiness.

Thoughts also have momentum, and in that sense, the amount of choice one has about their level of happiness is variable. While it is never too late to start turning your thoughts around toward unity, a train going 100 mph in one direction does not instantly change direction. It has to slow down, and then begin motion in the other direction.

Releasing thought, as in meditation, is another way to slow down the momentum. Once momentum comes to a rest, you vibration will naturally begin to rise to the positive.

Whats the difference between judgement and discernment? The one thing that bothers me about being positive and thinking positively is how it often results in suppression of unwanted thoughts. I am trying to find a balance between the two I guess. I'm wondering which thoughts are worth examining and which are worth discarding entirely.
