Yes I think the word tranquility is a nice replacement for how I personally see happiness.
Just as we deduced that using the expression "All Is Well" is not useful because of too much baggage, it seems I will need to stop using the word "happiness" for the same reason.
We are multi-dimensional beings. On this density we gage reality through our physical senses and physical brain. The physical senses and brain can be veiled from the higher self which is almost all who start the spiritual path comes to realize there is much more than what physicality dictates. If we did not have a physical body, all these thoughts/ideas/perceptions would not be considered who we are. We are awareness (consciousness) in motion. For my experiences, we have emotions (develops) from the feeding the brain lateral objective information. We have our higher selves which is pure awareness/consciousness, in this density the physical aspect is only a dream or illusion for physical experiences. The consciousness will send messages to the physical mind as information and guidance. Because of the views of illusion as a reality many times we do not hear it or feel it. I say the higher self has a direct line and calls us but the line is always busy.
Emotions are experienced through the mind (lateral objective thoughts), feelings are experienced through the body and senses (vertical subjective thoughts). Emotions of the mind causes confusions and chaos. The physical mind cannot know itself because it is not thoughts, etc. Feelings are received into the body from the higher self but many times needs to bypass the physical mind.
Love, peace, joy, freedom, whatever we are searching for is who we truly are without all the physical thoughts, ideas and perceptions. It is a state of consciousness, not physical in nature but when the veils are lifted we will be able to live "heaven on earth". All the other emotions and feelings of physicality are only a small aspect of the larger picture that we do not see or experience yet. Physicality definitely is a veil to the whole truth and believe that we will bypass this veil as humanity.
