Happiness

Illustration to chapter 3 “Happiness” of the book “Why?” (Alpina PRO, 2024).

"Happiness is the felt sense of the state of love." E. Fleysher

In this painting we see a person whose flesh has become transparent: their intention, held in the state of love, was so pure, so specific and clear, so constant — answering the question "Why?" — that the matter they possessed changed its form and became absolutely true, invisible to the eye.

We can also see what exactly led to this change of their matter, their flesh. It is the feeling of happiness that comes from dwelling in the state of love, expressed as the flowering of all their energies within the flesh — the true growth and flowering of the soul, true delight.
