Deepak Chopra's distinction between happiness and joy is important in understanding meaning of future scientific and technological progress. An accelerating rate of scientific and technological returns may create more happiness by helping people achieve goals, however greater abundance produced by scientific and technological returns will never impart "peace that surpassth understanding" derived from an awareness beyond the mind as Deepak Chopra outlined in his video presentation.

By Mark W. Gaffney

Space.com shared an article entitled, Is Einstein's 'Theory of Happiness' as Successful as General Relativity?. The aforementioned article is originally written by Ross Pomeroy and published in RealClearScienceAlbert Einstein's Theory of Happiness is quoted as such:

"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness."

 During this difficult time in Albert Einstein's life, immediately before winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, Albert Einstein was feeling it. Albert Einstein was feeling existentialism as expressed in the Book of Ecclesiastes, that everything is for naught and devoid of meaningfulness.

In my freelance article, entitled, Finding Fearless on a Long Road to Becoming a Writer: An Intelligent Driving Force in Consciousness and Conversation, I discussed existentialism expressed within Book of Ecclesiastes.

The plight of the human condition is impermanance and efferance of thought as outline by Deepak Chopra in his article entitled Artificial Intelligence is Here Now-- It is Us. The Book of Ecclesiastes is a study of existentialism within the universe manifesting as a greater need for reliance upon God. 


The opening verse of Ecclesiastes 1: 2 captures the existential nature of a physical universe devoid of meaningfulness Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity." Yet the paradox exist as futility of human thought. 

As stated in a previous article I wrote, From a quantum perspective of existentialism as a philosophy being wrong, obviously, life has deep profound meaningfulness because God choose to place human beings on earth to fulfill a purpose. The paradox of human thought is when wholeness of truth somehow becomes disjointed or separated easily during cognitive processing.

Ecclesiastes 1:2 includes a melancholy tone of despair associated with existential emptiness that is offset by the spiritual concept of "peace that surpassth all understanding".  Deepak Chopra in his video presentation entitled, Peace is only possible in shift of identity to awareness beyond mind, referenced the spiritual concept of "peace that surpassth all understanding".  

A melancholy tone of despair associated with existential emptiness within Ecclesiastes 1:2 demonstrates how wholeness of truth can become disjointed or separated from the eclectic spiritual concept of "peace that surpassth all understanding" as referenced by Deepak Chopra.

Deepak Chopra provides insight into Albert Einstein's Theory of Happiness in his video presentation entitled, Peace is only possible in shift of identity to awareness beyond mind. In Deepak Chopra's video presentation, Deepak Chopra makes a distinction between happiness and joy. 

                     

Deepak Chopra states that joy is manifest within an individuals essential being apart from ones mind, unlike happiness which is tied to successful accomplishment of external goals, such as getting a job, graduating from an educational degree program, or writing an article. 

Deepak Chopra's distinction between happiness and joy is important in understanding meaning of future scientific and technological progress. An accelerating rate of scientific and technological returns may create more happiness by helping people achieve goals, however greater abundance produced by scientific and technological returns will never impart "peace that surpassth understanding" derived from an awareness beyond the mind as Deepak Chopra outlined in his video presentation. A Ted Talk entitled, Abundance is our Future by Peter Diamandis provides an optimistic view of the future.




Deepak Chopra video presentation, Peace is only possible in shift of identity to awareness beyond mind, is also available on Facebook by following the link provided in this sentence. 

Deepak Chopra's distinction between happiness and joy does not in any way negate Albert Einstein's Theory of Happiness, but instead Deekak Chopra's insights add a more fuller depth or quality of meaningfulness to Albert Einstein's Theory of Happiness. Deepak Chopra continues to elaborate upon the concept of happiness in his article entitled, The AI Paradox: How Computers Will Make Us More Human.


In his article entitled, The AI Paradox: How Computers Will Make Us More Human, Deepak Chopra shares the following insights:


"To be self-aware is to transcend physical boundaries, including those imposed by a conditioned brain. It’s sadly true that many people live like biological robots, following the conditioning, or mental software, that turn them into non-thinkers. To be ruled by your mental software diminishes the mind’s potential to wake up, to be renewed, to see the world through fresh eyes, and to discover your true self.
The human potential movement has been active for several decades, and yet progress has been slowed for countless people by the practical demands of going to work, earning a living, and carrying out every day’s mundane duties and demands. If AI takes over those things, the obstacles to human potential would be radically lessened. This could amount to a leap in the evolution of consciousness. Such a leap is non-technological, or to put it another way, our future evolution depends on developing a technology of consciousness."

Linguistically, it is interesting to ponder that an important semantic distinction between happiness and joy is derived from a tradition whereby oneness with the universe is achieved through meditation. Generally, oneness with the universe is stripping away perceptual bias by rejection of semantic categorization.

Paradoxically, a meditative act of cessation of cognition may help one think more clearly by becoming more adept at subtleties and nuances of language vital in semantic categorization and classification. Hence, a meditative act of cessation of cognition may ultimately increase perceptual bias by helping one become more adept at subtleties and nuances of language vital in semantic categorization and classification. 

It is possible clearer thinking imparted from mediation may lead to a perceptual bias toward socialism as a consequence of dimishing cognitive processes of semantic categorization and classification that contribute to formation of stereotypes. A greater perceptual bias from clearer thinking after a meditative act of cessation of cognition ultimately may contribute to one spurning individualism in favor or socialism.

The problem with spurning individualism in favor of socialism is outlined in my freelance article entitled, Pursuit of Happiness: Redefining Meaningfulness of Foundational Documents According to Modern Times:

History has demonstrated repeatedly that cohesive social units can morph into dark and sinister cult like subgroups. Oftentimes dark and sinister cult like subgroups are based upon and form around an ideology or belief system.

Science as the great equalizer fits into a disturbing pattern of spurning individualism in favor of socialism. In my freelance article entitled, Catfishing by SuperIntelligent AI: Adding Integrity and Honesty to Internet Communications in Order to Make Internet a More Real Valuable Asset for Greater Good, I make the following observations about accomplishing goals during pursuit of happiness:

How to add integrity and honesty to internet communication is problematic in a free democratic capitialist society. As competitors with an urgent need to produce sales results there is very little motivation to engage in direct time consuming human to human interactions online.

Our revulsion about wasting time engaged in direct human to human interactions that do not help us make money is a form of laziness that may provide a pathway for future SuperIntelligent AI to gradually do all " thinking" for human beings.
In my freelance article entitled, A Text Book Case Study for E-commerce Content Creation, I provide a discussion about communication strategies using social media facilitating freedom of assembly in cyberspace as related to establishing new markets for products and services.

In my Linkedin Freelance article entitled, A Text Book Case Study for E-commerce Content Creation, I discuss how AI machine Intelligence may eventually become the ultimate public relations tool that allows addressing concerns of various population subgroups. As a public relations tool that facilitates human to human interactions there is a risk future SuperIntelligent AI will gradually usurp all human thinking as a time saving resource.

Our interactions with each other may be filtered through AI which is doing all the "hard thinking" during business transactions. In trying to arrive at a win - win scenario during diplomacy of negotiating high stakes business transactions can AI be completely unbiased? 


My freelance article entitled, Pursuit of Happiness: Redefining Meaningfulness of Foundational Documents According to Modern Times, provides a discussion of the inalienable right of happiness as outlined by the Declaration of Independence. The inalienable right to happiness as outlined in the Declaration of Independence is the right to get a job, work toward an educational degree, write an article, etc. 

The construct of happiness as outlined within the Declaration of Independence is designed to help an individual bring greater more abundant happiness to lives of other people as individuals fulfill goals. When individuals accomplish goals they gain skills that enable them to bring more happiness into lives of other people.


Many people falsely believe the pursuit of happiness defined in the Declaration of Independence as an unalienable right is a hedonistic conc
ept. The article, Is Happiness A Universal Right?, aptly points out that it is ghastly and abhorrent idea to place personal happiness in and of itself high on a pedestal as an esteemed value of self gratification.

Furthermore, the article Is Happiness A Universal Right?, answers the question, Is Happiness a Universal Right? with an astounding NO. The article Is Happiness A Universal Right?, goes on to say the Declaration of Independence does not define happiness in and of itself as an unalienable right but instead defines the PURSUIT of happiness as an unalienable right.

The article Is Happiness A Universal Right? explains how happiness as an American virtue often is intrinsically defined as personal achievement in accomplishing career goals. According to the article defining happiness as personal achievement in accomplishing goals defines happiness within context of individualism.

Furthermore, the article cites scientific evidence that pursuit of happiness in terms of achievement of personal individualistic goals often causes people to be more unhappy and frustrated. Thus, a goal of happiness in and of itself as a virtue placed high on a pedestal can lead to more unhappiness according to the article, Is Happiness A Universal Right?

The article cites multicultural studies that demonstrate people are more likely to be happy if they collectively work within a cohesive social unit instead of trying to achieve happiness by working towards individualistic goals as often happens in United States. Other cultures on Earth are different than the United States of America because other societies are more social oriented enabling people to work collectively within cohesive social units.

Thus it appears there is an ongoing movement to redefine an unalienable right to pursue happiness from an international perspective. At the start of this freelance article I made the following observation:

In recent years high ranking U.S. lawmakers and judiciary have made public statements redefining meaningfulness of foundational documents within a modern perspective. For example, freedom of speech, guaranteed by the United States Constitution has been redefined as “freedom of the press”.



Happiness as outlined in the Declaration of Independence is not a selfish pursuit, but instead an inalienable right of an individual to work towards a goal of learning new skills that enable him or her to bring greater happiness into lives of other people. As pointed out in my forementioned article,


Many great ideas in human history were spawn by swimming against the prevailing social tide, therefore from a quantum perspective the idea happiness can be found exclusively by working within a cohesive social unit is both right and wrong simultaneously. An article by Donald J. Trump published in Success Magazine entitled, Going Against the Tide, discuss developing a business model that goes against conventional social wisdom.


Almost all worthwhile occupations demand an opportunity cost of social isolation to some extent. Writers, artists, scientists who spend countless hours peering into a microscope examining slid samples are all engaged in an individualistic goal oriented task of achievement. Professional Athletes and musicians spend countless hours practicing alone, writing music, or training.
Creative artist, especially, discover inspiration as a consequence of being alone. Creative artist who discover inspiration as a consequence of being alone demonstrates value of individualism regarding an unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness outlined within the Declaration of Independence. Creative artist discover inspiration as a consequence of being alone due to an ebbing flow of Intelligent design intrinsically built into the physical universe.

In my freelance article entitled, Men of Letters: Our Beloved Country, the United States of America is a History of Rising Above Tumultuous Waves of Revolution because Our Founding Fathers were Men of Letters, I discussed how founding fathers of the United States of America labored tirelessly with an old fashioned feather quill to write elegant poetic prose to arrive at greater empathetic understanding of others.



Albert Einstein is famous for his mathematical expression E = MC2 , Energy equals mass times speed of light squared.

Restlessness as discussed in Albert Einsteins Theory of Happiness is a product of energy within the physical universe. Restlessness as referenced in Albert Einteins Theory of Happiness is strife when attempting to accomplish a goal. 
According to Deepak Chopra, peace is derived from internal joy which is everlasting and apart from the mind. Deepak Chopra pointed out that happiness can be taken away from an individual, but joy can never be taken away.  Energy is required to successfully accomplish a goal. 

In my freelance article entitled, Love for the Created Physical Universe is the Ultimate Intelligence, On this Earth Intelligence is in Short Supply, I shared following observations about neuroscience of cognition which ultimately is tranformed into energy neccessary to accomplish a goal that may enable creating more abundant happiness:

Human thinking and Artificial Intelligent cognition are both designed to fulfill a purpose or accomplish a mission. When a person is engaged in thinking neuroelectrical chemical sequences within the prefrontal lobe of the brain send a specific frequency and rate of neuroelectrical chemical pulsars through motor neurons to innervate smooth, striated, and cardiac muscle tissue throughout the human body.

Neuroelectrical chemical pulsars originating from the prefrontal lobe innervate movement of striated and skeletal muscles. Innervation of striated and skeletal muscles allows a human being to take a course of action or engage in movement.

Neuroelectrical chemical pulsars originate from thoughts encoded as neuroelectrical chemical sequences within the prefrontal lobe. Neuroelectrical chemical pulsars innervate striated and skeletal muscle in such a way as to allow one to sing, dance, jump, smile, grimace, frown, wave goodbye, run, walk, etc

Innervation of cardiac muscle by neuroelectrical chemical pulsars may cause the heart to beat faster. Innervation of smooth muscle by neuroelectrical chemical pulsars may cause tingling and trembling sensations associated with fear. Neuroelectrical chemical pulsars originate from thoughts encoded as neuroelectrical chemical sequences within the prefrontal lobe.

It is a common observation by scientific experts that human beings only use 2% of their brain capacity. Sensory processing occipital, temporal, and parietal cerebral lobes are vital in reflective meditative experience of simply“being”, as Virgin Mobile CEO Richard Branson advocates as a way to find happiness.

Sensory processes play a major role in opening up a portal into a spiritual dimension of existance thereby creating a stable rational balanced emotional state or condition. Marvelous workings of mechanics of creation are constantly impinging upon the psyche in the form of temporal subconscious imagery temporarily stored within the occipital, parietal, and temporal cerebral lobes as sensory memory. Sensory memory is temporary storage that can be equated with cache memory within computer architecture.

In my freelance article entitled, Love for the Created Physical Universe is the Ultimate Intelligence, On this Earth Intelligence is in Short Supply, I referenced an assertion by famed motivational speaker Bob Proctor
See, all the energy there ever was or ever will be is 100% evenly present in all places at the same time. You don't get energy, you release energy. Desire is the triggering mechanism to release the energy."

A person must have a certain measure of self confidence to accomplish anything in life. Self 
confidence is pride in oneself. Paradoxically, excessive pride or hubris can become the antithesis of humility or humbleness.  

Hubris prevents one from consideration of separate trajectories or lines of thought. Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity is understanding a trajectory or one line of movement from vantage point of a separate trajectory of line of movement. An example of understanding a trajectory or one line of movement from vantage point of a separate trajectory of line of movement is my observation above that Deepak Chopra's distinction between happiness and joy does not in any way negate Albert Einstein's Theory of Happiness, but instead Deekak Chopra's insights add a more fuller depth or quality of meaningfulness to Albert Einstein's Theory of Happiness.

Google defines hubris as excessive pride or self confidence. Generally, people who have achieved success in accomplishing great goals can sometimes develop a propensity to become self defensive thereby moving toward hubris. Since a variable in a mathematical equation can be both true and false simultaneously in accord with quantum mechanics operating within the universe an implied negative connotation pertaining to spurning individualism in favor of socialism in proposition above ( science as the great equalizer fits into a disturbing pattern of spurning individualism in favor of socialism ) fails to take into account individualism may foster greater degrees of hubris.  

In terms of a holistic approach to mediation of any human conflict the goal of achieving the TAO concept of oneness by consideration of separate lines of reasoning, thereby spurning individualistic approaches may cause headaches.  In my Wordpress freelance article entitled, A Line of Reasoning and Thought Understood from just one Trajectory is for all Intents and Purposes Practically Meaningless, I reference an Albert Einstein quote shared by National Geographic and Excedrin,


"EINSTEIN ONCE SAID, “I BELIEVE IN INTUITION AND INSPIRATION.” SEE HOW HIS GENIUS CONTINUES TO DRIVE INNOVATION TODAY."

My Tweets on Twitter provides intuitive insight pertaining to pursuing a holistic approach to mediation of any human conflict by working toward goal of achieving the TAO concept of oneness by consideration of separate lines of reasoning, thereby spurning individualistic approaches, :


Love requires Supernatural strength to transcend neurological architecture derived from Two based permutation logic https://t.co/y8lYxdpjsE

My Wordpress blog post entitled, Scientific Quantification of Hypothetical Constructs Such as Love Highlights Importance of Individual Responsibility as well as Value of Institutions Dedicated to Preserve Social Stability within an Ever Changing World , provides value added reflections about the Dalai Lama's insights.

https://twitter.com/DalaiLama/status/908988013249691648


In my freelance article entitled, Gestalt Make Up of the Ultimate Thinking Machine Will Transcend Computer Program Code, I provide the following insights about love requiring Supernatural strength to transcend neurological architecture.

An ability to link the hypothetical constructs such as love to a quantifiable process of physics highlights importance individual responsibility as well as value of institutions that preserve social stability. According to Romans 1: 20,
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

Furthermore Romans 13 : 1 states,


"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."


Pride in oneself bestows humility allowing one to become of greater service to others. The concept of pride has a strange complex inverse relationship with humility that I intend to explore in future writing. An understanding of the strange complex inverse relationship between pride and humility may help one understand nature of human consciousness and soul searching.

The concepts of pride and humility also have an intriguing relationship with the concept of faith. An understanding of the complex relationship between pride and humility as related to faith may help people find salvation by conscientious alignment with Matthew 22 : 37, "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind".



It Takes a lot of Faith to be a Generous Giving Person
