Can I ask - the intensity of this bliss, how does it compare with the pleasure that you seek?

And what more do you feel you could be feeling that is currently "lacking"?

The idea of something having "utility" is based on the idea that "being" is in service to "doing".

Would you say that love is "for" something?

OK it's "for" reproduction/pair bonding/safety... you might argue.

OK but what is all that "for"? Why have children? Why pair bond? Why do you seek stability and safety?

The more you look into these questions and follow them to their logical conclusion, it's all "for" the ability to live a happy and peaceful life. To be able to rest. To not have to worry.

Everything that you want, is in service to a state of being. And that state of being is not "for" anything. It just IS. It is life itself. Experience. In the present moment.

No matter what you do or what you achieve or what you obtain - it's all "for" the moment that you finally let yourself "be" without having to keep chasing.

The secret is - you can always do that. You can let yourself "be" right now. You can always let yourself "be". You just think you have to do more to "deserve" it or justify it, because that's what society tells you.

The bliss you are feeling - that's the bliss of existence. You can choose to focus on it, and be aware of it to greater or lesser extents. But I don't think it's "for" anything. Is life "for" anything? Is existence "for" anything? No. It just is. Because it's everything.

Now I may realise this, but I still participate in the "game" of life, the game of striving, of desires, of material gain. I still have a job. I still have goals and projects. This is all what being alive is about. If I just sat and meditated all day every day, it wouldn't be natural to me. Change is natural. Interaction is natural.

But I try to keep perspective and that awareness of the bliss of existence and the present moment even while I'm writing this to you, even while I'm working in my corporate job, even when I feel a "high" from achieving something, or a glow from a loving word from my husband.

All that is nice. But it's ultimately waves on the surface of the ocean of being.
