BE HAPPY, IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

Ya mon, I tink I sing you song, et is called, be happy mon. Here is a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don’t worry, be happy In every life we have some problems Don’t worry be happy mon It will pass no matter what it is. Bob Marley. We all remember that silly little song, yes simple, silly, but so powerful in its message which was the key to a happy life and how many of us reacted to it or under stood it and missed its powerful teaching.

Abraham Lincoln said we are all about as happy and we wish to be. His point was if you wish to be happy you are. If you wish to be UN happy you are. He was happy, his wife was miserable. It is up to you, your own point of view. Most living inside mansions is very unhappy. You can be living under a bridge in a cardboard box and be happy. Just will you’re self to be happy and you now are. You do not need a prescription or a liquor store to achieve total happiness.

If you watch me when I entertain at a show there is a big smile on my face all day long. I whistle while I work like the 7 dwarfs. I am so happy just to be there and to be able to play pool for a living and get paid well for that. I am happy God allows me to wake up every morning and carry one. I serve and entertain at his pleasure. How could I not have a smile on my face? Earl has a different attitude about this, how many smiles do you see on his face. How many do you see on Efrens. Efren chooses to be happy, Earl chooses to be UN happy, and that is simply the difference between them.

Image Andy Griffin walking down the road at Mayberry RFD, did you ever see him without a big smile? Does Barney smile? One is happy; one is not, all in their attitudes.

Be like Lefty playing in the final of the Masters golf tourney in 04 at Augusta, they said he had that same goofy big smile on all day long. It bothered a lot of people because it is not normal to do that. It is not normal to be very happy, that is very UN normal. People do not like you doing this; they want you to be UN happy like them. Ever seen Tom Kennedy play pool, he runs around grinning like the Cheshire cat, it is sort of nerdy and goofy also, but Tom is very happy and he has the power of the Lord shinning inside him which lights him up.

Try it for yourself for one week and then see how you feel at the end of 7 days of nonstop 24/7 happy. Smile at every person you encounter, smile so big it hurts, and radiate love out to them.
Keep smiling until your jaws and teeth ache. Do not stop. It won’t kill you to give me one week of this. It can and may totally change your life. The majority will glace away or reject these smiles as they are unhappy and very happy people make them feel even more unhappy and confused. If you smile at 100 people and all 100 flip you the bird just keep smiling. Sticks and stones dude. Get used to seeing the Italian salute coming at you. Less than 10% will be able to react back to you in a positive fashion and some will return your smile and love to you just as warmly as you gave it to them. The main teaching of Jesus is to love your fellow man. Just go out and do exactly that for 7 days.

All agree that at the upper levels the game is now 90% mental. If you do not have control of your emotions you are then a loser. Being happy is vital to that control. Some are in constant turmoil with themselves in practice, gambling or in league play. You get angry you missed that shot or the other jerk is sharking you. You get so angry, you begin to shake. You are a 3 and you are playing a 7, you are so scared of him you begin to shake. You are toast, you just released adrenalin which is a very powerful drug and when it drops your pool playing ability just went into the toilet and you are now going to lose badly. It ain’t gonna be pretty.

Play a lot of pool over a long period of time and keep dropping adrenalin off and on all day long and many in the medical community feel this can eventually destroy your health just like taking speed every day will destroy you as well. You see some hall of famers now when they pull the cue back they shake and that is what it is caused from, one of the two, if not both usually. You turn your Neurological
System into mush and one day you simply fall apart. It impacts a lot of players around 45 to 50. You run a car at 7000 rpm all day long and the engine wears out faster than normal driving. That is how many pool players destroy their bodies at this game. Burn the candle at both ends and think they will escape this fate.

Walk in the door of the joint with this huge goofy grin and never let it leave your face. Just keep saying over and over, I am happy. Keep saying it and soon you con yourself into actually being happy. You reprogram your cpu out of UN happy and install a new program called happy. It is that simple to do. It is simple self brain washing. It is amazing, you had the key to this all along, and all you had to do was turn the key. You miss a simple shot you should have made, you do not grimace and slam your cue butt down, and you smile and sit down. You make a great shot, you smile. You dog the next shot, you smile. You put your emotions on this flat plane and they never are allowed to rise above or below that happy plane. They remain level and unchanging.

Adrenalin then never drops on you because you send no signals to the brain to release it. Inside you are totally peaceful, calm, in a lovely warm state of grace. Do this for one week and then somewhere in the 2nd week you will report back to me you had your high run of your life, because you finally got out of the way of you. In pool, normally all you have to do is go into the can and look into the mirror, that is your enemy, you. You have finally met the enemy and it is indeed you bubba. Take a good long look at that guy, he you must control or you are doomed.

Ya mon, be happy. Play happy. Win or lose happy. Just be happy to be there. For me that is easy, at my age I am happy to be anywhere. I am happy to be able to walk in the front door of the joint. I should get a standing ovation for just doing that. A very recent survey of 30 years of psychology publications counted 46,000 papers on depression and a piddling 400 on joy. They do not teach happy. They sell a happy pill which gets you stoned and now you are happy.

20 Years ago they had millions of women stoned on valiums. At the turn of the century they had them on cocaine cocktails that got them really stoned. That is how the soft drink coco cola came about, it was such a cocaine liquid drug in the beginning for women who could not go into bars and get smashed on whiskey, so they went into soda shops and got stoned on cocaine. In the early part of the last century and less than 50 years ago men drank 5 times more than they do today.
As Martin Seligman, a University of Pennsylvania professor and former president of the American Psychological Association, put it in 1998: “Social science now finds itself in almost total darkness about the qualities that make life most worth living. “ End of quote.

That’s great, go to your doctor or shrinks and now you know, they do not have a fargin clue. Everything they think they know is wrong. They are totally going in the wrong direction. They react to the boil, stick a band aide on it, treat it with cream, they never take the time to find out what caused this to occur, they only treat the thing in front of them and never find the root cause. The boil could have been caused by the mind which is very unhappy which can bring on even serious disease and death. Yes being unhappy can kill you. If you are unhappy and depressed they will medicate you up with legal drugs then you walk around stoned all day long and they tell you that you are now happy. Shoot me up with Morphine and hell, I don’t know if I am happy or not, I’ve been on that stuff in the Hospital after an almost fatal airplane crash which broke my back and you are so out of it you don’t give a flip any more. You really do not have a clue. How do you know if you are happy if you do not know your zip code?

Ask Bob Marley, the cure was free all along, just be happy Mon. Just do it. Your main thought should be that your life purpose, in living or playing pool, should be to seek and obtain total happiness. Every pool practice session or match should end with you in total happiness win or lose. The very motion of your life should be towards this goal. Be a positive thinker and doer. Fill a glass half up with water, it can be good that it is half full, or bad that it is half empty; you can think happy and positive or think negative and UN happy and see only the down side of everything.
You now have the power to change how your brain thinks and reacts. You can totally control and sway your thoughts and emotions just by ordering them to be or do this or that. Download Marley’s song on Kazaa, Don’t worry, be happy. Play it every day and soon the message will sink in. You must hear any new data 7 times for the brain to accept it so you must play the song for 8 days in a row. The key to happiness lies in one’s ability to control what is called the monkey mind. This is undisciplined consciousness that scrambles from thought to thought, impelled by negative emotions and impulsive desires. Learning to meditate and clear the mind is a thing to learn and master. You find that in Zen.

You can never be a great pool player until you learn how to shut off the monkey brain when you are playing pool. Give that inner voice a name, mine is Fred. I order him out. I go Fred, I know you are trying to help me, but Fred, I am now playing pool, go to sleep and do not talk to me until you see me break down my cue and when it goes in my case you may come back. When I play pool I want a total empty mind with nothing going on in it. Some tell me that for me that is a given as I do not have anything going on up there in the first place. There is some truth to this, very dull dumb people seem to exceed at many sports like pool and golf because of this. This is why the PhD’s can’t run 3 friggen balls, they can’t shut it all off. The higher intelligence and IQ of a player the more difficult it is for him to play at a high level. I have an IQ of 152 and I cannot play pool at all unless I totally turn off my monkey brain or it will drive me literally crazy with its diarrhea mouth nonstop babbling dribble. Until I put a sock in Fred’s pie hole and duck tape his mouth shut or I am doomed.

There are two sides of the brain, you can only play with one on, let both run at the same time total conflict and confusion occurs. I then play by total feel and allow my brain and cpu to run and manage my game. It is a leap of faith, just turn it off and turn it over to them and go out and free wheel and let it rip. You will be amazed at what occurs when you get out of the way of you. Let the good times roll, you will be in fat city. Just play fast and loose, dead punch will fall in and when it does, oh baby, how sweet, it is. You become a ball running machine. If you then fall into the zone, Katy, bar the door. You are now unbeatable.

The mind is an expression of a consciousness that is very deep and one you know nothing about, but that knowledge is there to help you. It will guide you if you seek happiness and allow you to achieve fulfillment, reach enlightenment and reach your karmic destiny. Just retrain your mind, give it very clear directions and tell it what it is to do. Tell it, I shall now be totally happy, make that happen now. It is now so. Freud believed the only happiness people could achieve was the meager satisfaction of deliverance from the deluded hopes and grandiose fantasies: in his famous phrase, the tepid relief of transforming hysteria into uncommon unhappiness. They do not believe you can be happy normally so they write you a prescription to go get stoned. These people are barbarians. In the future they will be regarded as such.

Alan Wallace, president of the Santa Barbara Institute for the Interdisciplinary study of consciousness, said at the time, “the pursuit of knowledge in Buddhism is inextricably relegated to the pursuit of virtue, and the pursuit of virtue is inextricably relegated to the pursuit of happiness.” Western science makes no such connection. It can as easily weaponize smallpox as cure it. All their money and time is being spent to come up with drugs so they can alter unhappiness and associate what they make with well-being levels of serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitters. They can then run millions of dollars on nonstop ads on TV, have the doctors which are nothing but legal drug pushers write the prescriptions which then get them their free vacations to Vale. The big drug companies then make billions on this new drug to make you happy. It is all about money, not curing you or selling you happiness, there is no money to be made in that which is why only Buddhist are giving it away free. Medical science wants no part of this. You walk in unhappy, they give you a pill, you get stoned, you are happy now. That is the Stone Age level these people are now at and they call themselves doctors. It’s all about money.

Parts of Buddhism can change behaviors that now cause you to suffer. It can alter your mind to achieve happiness and make you content. You can achieve genuine happiness. There is no church you have to go to. You do have to tide 10% of your loot. You have nothing to buy, no drugs to take. It is all free. Fast Larry is a Christian and a Catholic, but is deep into the study of Zen and Buddhist concepts and teachings. He teaches to play sober as a judge and use the powers of the mind to play in the zone through the teachings of Zen. He is the only person to discover how to go in and out of the Zone at will. His findings and teachings on this will soon be published and revealed for all to go to new levels on in pool. He is a Zen Master.

Where does this concept come from, you can make yourself happy, just by now willing yourself into a happy mind, is this more of FL’s ramblings. No, this has been now taught for 500 years before the birth of the Christ.

The main person now teaching this is called by his real name which is Tenzin Gyatso. He has been teaching this for all of his 68 years here on Earth. His people call him Kundun or the presence. He shows you the path to happiness, joy and contentment. He runs around with this huge smile and constantly laughing and bubbling with enthusiasm. You feel good around him, happiness will wear off on you and it is contagious. Like Jesus, and Ghandi his only possession is the robe around his body. Some call him the enlightened one. Some call him, his Holiness. He is known as the 14th manifestation of the Buddha of Compassion and a Nobel Peace Prize winner and exiled leader of Tibet. He is the leader of a 2,500 year old religion. He is, the Dali Lama.
