Unconditional Joy
Unconditional Joy
By Gage Vogt
Immortalis Perspective Prime Law Preface
Within the Immortalis and Prime Law Capitalism framework, joy, abundance, and love are not granted by any outer power; they are reclaimed through self-responsibility and conscious creation.
To live by the Prime Law — no force, no fraud, no coercion — is to choose freedom in thought as well as in action.
Unconditional Joy arises when we no longer wait for permission to feel good; we generate value from within, uplifting ourselves and others through honest creation and mutual benefit.
Unconditional Joy
Unconditional Joy is being happy right now! It is not being only happy when you get you get your paycheck. It's not just being happy when you are on vacation (or about to). It's not just being happy on weekends. It's not just being happy when you find "the lover of your life." It's about being happy now. Why?
It feels so good to feel good!
The second reason is profound, and it would take a long time to explain, but I will just say for now that the way you feel affects YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, physically and emotionally.
Abundance Mentality
Abundance mentality is thinking about what you want, not what you don't want. It's about believing in yourself. It's about knowing that you can get what you desire without violating the rights of others (and you can, by the way). It's about expecting a better future, for yourself, those you know, humankind, and the world (If it's hard to believe that for others, just believe in a better future for yourself, and that's really enough).
“Success is the development of the power with which to get whatever one wants in life without interfering with the rights of others.”
Napoleon Hill inThe Law Of Success in 16 Lessons
“Anything can happen in this life—and that which can help bring it to pass is Hope.”
-Claude M. Bristol inThe Magic Of Believing
Heart-Based Self-Love
Heart-Based Self-Love is more powerful than can be put into words.
Many relationships are built upon fear, particularly fear of rejection. Those in gangs, for example, will actually commit heinous acts due to fear of rejection from other gang members. Criminal/Violent Families (mafia and otherwise), will actually commit heinous acts due to fear of rejection from other family members. What they want is a feeling of connectedness, oneness, and, simply put, love. The liberating truth is, you never need anyone else to feel loved. You can love yourself. It's always enough. Those who truly love themselves (in a heartfelt, authentic way) are always more peaceful and loving.
When one loves themselves, they are more inclined to cheerfully give. It happens naturally.
“There is a big difference between giving and sacrificing. Giving from a heart that is overflowing feels so good. Sacrificing does not feel good. Don't confuse the two—they are diametrically opposed. One emits a signal of lack and the other emits a signal of more-than-enough. One feels good and one does not feel good.” -Rhonda Byre inThe Secret
“…Give more to yourself. Take time off to give to yourself, and in a sense to fill yourself up to fullness, to where now you can overflow in giving.” - Dr. John Gray inThe Secret
The Rights of Others
So, what are the rights of others?
It is to not be murdered, to not be accosted with violence (rape, robbery, etc), to not be coerced, and to not be defrauded - as an individual or against one's own rightfully acquired property. It is not to have an explicitly agreed-upon contract violated.
It's not enough to resist the urge for quick gain, profit, or revenge by knowing these rights, even if one intellectually agrees with them and believes it is a great code to live by. To resist those urges, one must feel whole, happy, and fulfilled - as these full feelings will supplant/transmute those urges.
It is also immensely helpful to know that violating these rights always results in diminished self-esteem and self-worth. It can lead to depression. It always hurts one's social life (it often starts subtly and insidiously at first, but it will cascade more and more until the effects become obvious), in massive ways, sooner or later. It can lead to financial ruin. It can lead to loss of freedom (such as imprisonment). But, no matter if anyone finds out, "YOU know what you did!" You can read stories about people who violated the rights and what it inevitably leads to.
The Law of Cause and Effect is not only a scientific law that applies to physics, but it also applies to metaphysics. The "punishment" (really, it is simply an effect) is never hell, and sometimes it may not come from people, but you are never going to live up to your full potential if you violate the rights of others. You will never be as healthy as you could be. You will never be as happy and fulfilled as you could be.
The Law of Cause and Effect is not "You hurt someone and an anvil falls on your head." That's only in cartoons and almost never works that way. The physical results are typically more delayed and less initially profound.
You have to do what you know is right, based upon accurate information and knowing the rights of others. However, as stated previously, that is not enough alone to resist urges and impulses. It simply isn’t always enough. That is why it is important to have unconditional joy (alongside conditional joy is fine, but it is important always to have unconditional joy as a baseline), an Abundance Mentality, and a practice of Heart-Felt Self-Love.
Cheerful Giving
Conversely, when you give to others “with a cheerful heart,” you always receive even greater benefit. You will feel better about yourself. You will feel more joyful. You will have better health. You will have better relationships. You will have improved self-esteem and self-worth. You will have an improve your social life. You will have improved health. You will feel more fulfilled.
Again, these effects may not be immediate, but they will come quickly. You may not receive your blessings or bounty from the person or group you are giving to, but you will get it!
You must remember to do it cheerfully, not with a begrudging or merely perfunctory attitude. That doesn’t produce great results; in fact, it often leads to resentment. It is a good habit to get into; habitually doing this is not perfunctory if you pour love into every time you give.
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
God loving a cheerful giver means that you will receive blessings (or, simply, more of what you desire in life). This works whether you are a Christian or not. It is a universal principle.
Urges and Desire
A great deal of crime is caused by greed (lust, envy, etc), which is unsatiated desire.
Everyone has physical and emotional urges. When those urges are not satisfied after a period of time, things go awry in one's mental state, and soon life, if one is not aware and does not control oneself.
The real objective is to satisfy them (not quell, as these desires will inevitably reappear; they cannot simply be wished away or released, at least, that has been the consistent experience from the author’s life); it is to fulfill them. It is actually, more than anything else, to be a creator and to enjoy the journey that we call life.
“Uncontrollable” (or at least difficult to control) impluses and urges can be transmuted.
Desires can be honestly and peacefully fulfilled.
