I am consciousness, total awareness, expressing as bliss

I am consciousness, total awareness, expressing as bliss. Now what does this do to you as a human being? 
It transcends your human experience. 

It lifts you beyond the relative world into reality. There is no explanation. You try to explain this to your friends. You cannot. As a matter of fact, you find that your friends disappear because they think you're crazy. And you probably never needed those friends to begin with. 

You begin to identify with the substratum of existence. You are no longer part of the world of effects. As you are aware, this is a world of effects in which we live. There is no permanency in this world. Everything comes and goes. To identify with the world is to suffer. 

Therefore to find the truth is to experience bliss. No matter what you may acquire in this world you still suffer. As long as you believe you are the body-mind concept this is what causes suffering, if only because of deterioration.

As most of you know, as soon as you’re born you start to die. It’s therefore foolish to be satisfied only with a material existence. 
[…] There is nothing in this world that can really bring you true happiness. No, I'm not a prophet of doom. I'm telling you the truth. It is only as you discover your true identity that the real happiness and the real joy begin to be expressed through you. You don't have to wait until you are self-realized.

 Even if you believe that you are the body, still, just by understanding that there’s something greater, something higher, something more beautiful, begins to make you feel good. Or shall I say, as you dis-identify with the world, as you begin to disassociate yourself with identification of the world. I'm not speaking of leaving your job or going away from your family or changing anything at all. I'm speaking mentally. As you disengage your mind from worldly attachments, goodness takes its place, to that extent.
