Why Don't I Experience Happiness All the Time

In this video, Rupert engages in a conversation about the nature of happiness and awareness. They discuss the concept of ‘sat chit ananda’ and delve into the experience of deep sleep, where pure bliss (Ananda) is felt without objects. They explore metaphors emphasizing the shift in perception from object-ness to pure awareness. The discussion highlights the understanding that experience itself remains unchanged, but our perception and focus determine the prominence of objects or the knowingness of awareness.
