The first Friday of October is World Smile Day (Oct. 3, 2025), a relatively new holiday with a fascinating story. Created by a commercial artist named Harvey Ball, this day came about as a response to his creation of the smiley face. Harvey worried that the commercialization of the symbol would lessen its impact. We can hardly blame him for his estimation; the symbol has been used in many different ways including clothing, comic books, coffee mugs, pins, and more. These little yellow faces are more than just a symbol, they’re a statement about the power of smiling.
History of World Smile Day
Has this symbol always existed?
In 1963, Harvey Ball, a graphic artist and ad man from Worcester, Massachusetts, created the smiley face symbol [the yellow emoji icon] we’ve all come to know.
Popularity for this symbol exploded into the world of popular culture. It’s every artists’ dream for their work to be respected and recreated and few symbols have had quite the legacy that Harvey’s creation has had. More: nationaltoday.com

Buddhism: There is no way to happiness. Why? Happiness is the way
I let go, surrendered, and blissed out on the mat.
This is a tricky truth no one talks about, at least not in the West. We are forever searching and seeking, scheming and striving to get happy, to FIND a way to happiness. But this message turns that sort of thinking on its head.
When at a Buddhist monastery or on a Buddhist retreat, it's not uncommon to ask, "How do I attain meditative absorption (jhana)?" Another word for it is "zen" or dhyana and dharana on a yoga retreat. But there's no answer. One is taught a technique but no way to achieve the thing one strives for. Why?
It is reached by letting go, dropping the striving, surrendering up the muscling, giving up the go-getter attitude. It just happens. And teachers will say, "There's no way to [scheme and use force to] do it. Meditators just do it."
I went to the room of the greatest jhana teacher in the world, and I pressed him, "What's the secret?"
He didn't know what I meant, he said. He didn't even know what I was talking about, he claimed. Then I thought, he's given me an opening. Here's my chance. I better ask very carefully:
"How does one meditate...successfully? What I mean is, how does one attainabsorption? How does one get to..." He looked at me like I was kidding and when he saw that I was not, as if by rote, he gave me the basic instructions:
Sit up straight, but not too straight, relax, bring your attention under your nose to the breath, remain aware of each and every in-breath and out-breath that is happening. Don't do anything but give your undivided attention to that breath (composed of an in-portion and out-portion). Just that. [Then what? - Then nothing, just that. - No, but there has to be something more; it can't be just that. - Just do that (in addition to keeping silent, following the Eight Precepts, and always keeping the breath in mind except when asleep) and then report to me what happens during the daily interview sessions. Try it. It's very simple, but there's nothing easy about it. So keep at it.]
Bare awareness (mindfulness/sati) is a start.
"No," I said, "not how does one sit; how does one succeed? How does one get to that state of one-pointedness, samadhi, stillness, rapture, unbroken focus...?"
"Oh, that," he said. "I don't know that." I thought he was joking, a real effort to make an American-style joke, and I didn't know why he wasn't telling me. He knew I was sincere. He knew I had been striving all month long. Then I applied more pressure than probably anyone would ever dare to apply.
I wasn't leaving without an answer: "What do you mean you don't know? Who better than you? If you don't know, who could possibly know?"
Then he stunned me, as he often did with the directness of his insight and his willingness to share his knowledge with me? "I don't know because I do not read minds. People come to me. I give them the instructions. And some of them come tell me what is happening, and I guide them from there."
You asked him what?! Did he throw you out?
"But WHY do some of them have something start happening since not everyone does?"
"That I do not know. I just know they do. And when they do, I can help them, guide them to go deeper. But how they get to it in the first place, that I do not know." [These aren't exact quotes, just the gist of the conversation, which only lasted a few desperate minutes as I pushed and pushed.]
As he said this, I realized I had asked him this before, after sitting with him in Asia at his massive monastery, where it seemed everyone was succeeding and attaining. I asked him and pushed him a little on the matter with someone sitting by me to catch what I might be missing, two Americans sincerely wanting to experience what Buddhist texts write about, what the Buddha taught, what sutras say happens.
At that time he looked at us and perceiving our sincerity said one strange word, his guess as to what it was distilled down to ONE thing as if it could ever be just one thing distinguishing success from just sitting. That word was parami. She smiled next to me, but I grimaced, perplexed. "'Parami?' The Sanskrit word paramita?"
"Yes," he answered, but he was actually talking about the Pali (and therefore Theravada Buddhist) form of the word parami. In either case, it means "perfection," but the Sanskrit is a diluted Mahayana term of six factors, whereas the historical Buddha always taught TEN intentional actions (deeds, karma).
My teacher clarified. What he imagined (from what he heard from many of his successful students reporting to him) was that they remembered doing skillful deeds in the past, and he concluded that those past skillful deeds were coming to fruition as they sat. And that's why some succeeded and not others.
What kinds of questions are these? You are silly.
(What I was really getting at was, WHAT ACTIONS CAN SOMEONE DO NOW OR WHILE ONE IS SITTING IN MEDITATION, ANXIOUS FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?)
That he didn't know, so I had to undertake a lifelong journey of trying to figure it out. Of course, it will have something to do with the Factors of Absorption (jhananga, "limbs of jhana"). Leigh Brasington figured this much out, having had the insight that happiness is the way:
Right Concentration: Practical Guide to the Jhanas
Brasington teaches a technique of focusing on one of these factors, happiness (piti, joy, pleasure, rapture, bliss) as it arises in the body in serenity meditation. By focusing on it, it increases based on the principle that, "Where attention goes, energy flows." This is true enough, but how does one get the initial happiness/bliss to pay attention to and make increase?
Now it makes sense that what I had always been looking for was a carrot or apple in front of the horse (mule, donkey, jackass). I could only neigh in realizing it: THE GOAL is not this happiness because THIS HAPPINESS is the way to relaxing, letting go, unstriving, surrendering, unclutching, dropping hangups, persisting without grasping or clinging, shikantaza ("just sitting"), not setting up a goal and striving for it. Why? It's because those blissful states of meditation and their attendant stillness, mindfulness, and progress towards insight are NATURAL. They arise. We don't "do" them. We can't do them. We don't know how and do not have that power.
But if we relax and just watch with vigilance, stillness, steadiness, persistence, we are cultivating the Factors of Absorption and other factors of the 37 Requisites of Enlightenment, which are categorized into seven groupings.
One is reminded of a very important thing the Buddha once explained to someone. When talking about the Bodhisatta, himself at the stage of still being a seeker of enlightenment, he once realized that he could neither strive too hard or be negligent. Doing either, he sank as if in a great ocean (samsara), but not striving and not being negligent, he made progress. What could this mean either than the Middle Way of avoiding extremes, of persisting but not pushing, of cultivating but not disturbing the peace or giving in to apathy, listlessness, or despair?
Thai Forest Tradition arahant Ajahn Maha Boowa seems to be suggesting the same thing here (translated by the American intellect Ven. Thanissaro): "The tactics [techniques] given by each of the Buddhas to the world are called the Dhamma [Truth] of the doctrine. These aren't the genuine Dhamma. They're tactics [methods] — different offshoots — actions and modes displayed by the genuine Dhamma, means for letting go and striving, teaching us to let go, teaching us to strive using various methods, saying that the results will be like this or that. As for the genuine Dhamma of results in the principles of nature, that's something to be known exclusively in the heart of the person who practices. This Dhamma can't really be described correctly in line with its truth. We can only talk around it. And particularly with release [nirvana, liberation, freedom]: This can't be correctly described at all, because it's beyond all conventions and speculations. It can't be described. Even though we may know it with our full heart, we can't describe it. Like describing the flavor [of a soup using only words to someone who has yet to simply taste it]." From Things As They Are.
Smile, be happy. Don't overdo it; just let it be.
So happiness IS the way. Be happy. Right now. Choose it. It's a choice. Smile. After all, it's World Smile Day. Reflect, "Why is the Buddha ALWAYS smiling slightly?" There are no statues of him yelling or throwing things, losing his temper or his poise. Why? It's because once one uproots the defilements, there is nothing more tat can upset. One knows-and-sees directly.
Like that, Lisa, just like that. Hold it.
And to the extent that that knowing-and-seeing is the goal, one has reached it. Things have become clear, and nothing can any longer upset us. What was in the way, aside from the defilements (of which there are many subtle ones) and lack of parami-karma (ten skillful deeds performed with the ambition of nirvana being the result)? What is the direct path to bodhi (enlightenment, awakening, realization, liberating-insight)?
What is the way to bodhi? The Seven Factors of Enlightenment. What is the way to those factors? The preceding factors of the 37 Requisites of Enlightenment. How does one do any factor? It's probably a good idea to be happy. How does one even begin to dream to do that? Smile.

"The Phone of the Wind"
I can suddenly see unseen beings.
The Tsunami was a terrible thing, and Japan remembers. One seaside village in particular lost the largest number of inhabitants and did something about it. One man set up a phone booth to speak to the dead. News got out. Now a line of people forms daily to reach out to the other side. It is not merely a feelgood exercise.
Two-way communicating with the dead was done at least two times before, in ancient Greece with psychomanteum oracle shrines and in modern America using EMF radio devices. Few tells us about these two objective-subjective tools.
Psychomanteum (necromantic mirror gazing) (Beyond Science, 8/28/18) The ancient practice of slanted mirror gazing was used in ancient Greece. Back then people were very much like us today, pondering the meaning of life and death. Humans wanted answers about what the beyond, the other side of the veil. Mirror gazing has gone mainstream with psychologist Dr. Raymond Moody, who has devoted his life to studying NDEs (near-death experiences). Dr. Moody helped develop specific techniques for creating an atmosphere to conduct mirror-gazing experiences in one's own personal psychomanteum. REFERENCES: gaia.com/article/psychomanteum-mirror-gazing, lifeafterlife.com, near-death.com/psychology/triggers/psychomanteum.
The Buddhist way: Meditation
"The dead" are here next to us a few "stations" over on neighboring frequencies.
.
In any case, there is another way that is much better: In Buddhism, what is the most important thing to seeing the unseen, to sensing what is normally invisible, to reach the deceased (pretas, devas, narakas, yakshas, and many others) while living is to clean up the means of seeing -- the heart/mind.
That is done by meditation to purify consciousness, remove the Five Hindrances, and attain a state of clarity.
"The path of purification" is another name for Buddhism. It leads to knowing and seeing in this very life. It leads to more, to the end of all suffering, to the direct realization of the highest truths. The truth sets us free. If we see without being set free by what we know-and-see, we might well regret it.
The near-death experience is easy to explain away. "They're just imagining it," people say. "As the brain is dying or being starved of oxygen, it makes up this story of surviving into the afterlife." The afterlife is real, but near-death experience accounts are dismissed as fantasy or delusion. It's not science because the subjects reporting real experiences are not reliable sources of information. After all, they're injured, sick, medicated, flatlining, and nearly dying. Fine. None of these dismissals work for a stranger phenomenon called the "shared death experience." This is when everyone present experiences the dying person's life review and future destiny, a change in dimensions during the transmission. The dying person's death visions become those of everyone in the room, not only close and grieving family members, but even dispassionate doctors and others. Dr. Moody, author of Life After Life, explains it to George Knapp on Coast to Coast.
Shared death experiences? June 13, 2018
Dr. Raymond Moody, MD wrote Life After Life. It
has sold over ten million copies, and it has completely changed the way we view death and dying.
He was joined by
counselor Dr. Sharon Prentice
to discuss Shared Death Experiences (SDEs), which are similar to NDEs
except that they occur to those around the dying person. People are temporarily "brought along" to witness the aftermath of physical death.
At
the moment of her husband's death from cancer, Prentice had an SDE which
she described as a transition from darkness to light. "The [dimensional] geometry of
the room totally changes...The ceiling turned into mist...and I was just
surrounded by billions and billions of stars [deva beings]."
She could see the stars distinctly, but they were all part of the same
light that she found herself going into -- entering a compassionate realm
where her negative emotions melted away, and she saw her deceased
husband standing in front of her, smiling and at peace.
In deathbed
situations, loved ones have reported being "kind of enveloped by this
hologram of the person's life," Dr. Moody explains, adding that an emergency room doctor
told him he was flooded with images of a patient's life as he was
trying to resuscitate him. Doctors and loved ones, Dr. Moody says, have commonly observed a
golden or grayish light leaving the upper half of patient's body at the
time of their death.More + AUDIO

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by
positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
A
variety of biological, psychological, religious (or spiritual), and philosophical
approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.
Various research groups, including the field of positive psychology, endeavor to
apply the scientific method to answer questions about what "happiness"
is and how it might be attained.
It is of such fundamental
importance to the human condition that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness" were deemed to be unalienable rights by the United States
Declaration of Independence.
The United Nations declared March
20th the "International Day of Happiness" to recognize the relevance of
happiness and well being as universal goals. In 2014, "Happy" became the
anthem and inspired clips from around the world.
Gina Darling's infectious comedy (Roll Models, WatchLoud), rated R.
Everyone's "island" is different. So be an island (dipa) unto yourself! (SN 22:43)
Near death experience (NDE) researcher Dr. Moody, M.D. has been studying and documenting the reality of rebirth, post mortem consciousness, and the existence of other dimensions. On Jan. 17-18, 2014 he is conducting a seminar and claimed on Coast to Coast that he will reveal a bombshell breakthrough in the scientific study of future and past lives.
Neverland, Nonsense, Afterlife, Living Wisely
The story of Peter Pan has long been described as a metaphor for childhood and immortality.
Dr. Moody's new and groundbreaking work Nonsense (following Life After Life) shows that Peter Pan's story may also be a metaphor for understanding how nonsense can be a key to creating new language and thinking regarding the afterlife.
Understanding the afterlife offers us wisdom for living now. J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, shared that Neverlands are found in the minds of children. Although they always seem to be more or less an island resembling one another, they are not the same from one child to the next.
For example, John Darling “had a lagoon with flamingos flying over it,” while his little brother Michael “had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it.” Like Dr. Moody describes in his research on Near Death Experiences... More
The Power of Nonsense
Beauty and the bullet, Mona mad for the MIC?
"Nonsense wakes up the brain cells," according to Dr. Seuss. Science has brought humanity a long way during the last 400 years. We have cured [or at least developed profitable "treatments" for] innumerable diseases, mastered human flight, split the atom, and sent humans to the moon. So why do so many of our deepest mysteries remain beyond the reach of reason?
I have discovered a hidden collective cognitive flaw that impairs our ability to think cogently about some very fundamental problems of science, philosophy, and religion.
I am a psychiatrist and professor of philosophy and logic. During my almost 50-year career, I have examined a glitch that is practically built into the way we think. When Aristotle codified logic [for the Western world, having borrowed so much from India] 2,300 years ago, he left a gap, an area of incompleteness that compromises our ability to think rationally about important questions that do not fit easily into the literal frame of...

Neverland So how does one get to Neverland? Walt Disney popularized the directions to Neverland by giving the nonsensical directions, “Second star to right, straight on til morning.” In the novel, however, Barrie said the directions were “second to right, straight on til morning.”
This is a great metaphor both for both entering the dream world and dying. One second to the right is the difference between being awake (alive) and being on our way in flight in dreams (death) until we wake up in the morning (make our passage to the new afterlife realm).
THE SEMINAR
Prof. Moody is a medical doctor and author
The program will guide participants through a process that awakens an important but forgotten power of the mind. The purpose is to enhance critical, analytical, and creative thinking in a rapid, observable way with three main objectives:
Increase critical thinking skills.Democracy depends on citizens' ability to think and debate logically. So this program teaches participants how to think more logically with entertaining exercises that enhance critical thinking skills.
Open new possibilities for advances in numerous fields including science, psychology, and advertising.There are direct applications in many fields, widening the scope of the mind in a way that is useful in any profession.
To enable us to study mystical states of consciousness including near-death experiences in an entirely new way. A study is in progress using the information in this program to understand the language of dying patients in more depth, which will help improve our care of the terminally ill. More
Host Lilou Mace talks to Dr. Raymond A. Moody, M.D., P.hD. about the phrase he coined, "near death experience," and
discusses his astonishing bestseller Life After Life, a book that
offers real experiences of people who were declared clinically
dead and returned.
The descriptions they give are similar, vivid, and usually so overwhelmingly positive
that hearing about them changes our view of life, dying, and spiritual
survival beyond death. The Buddha frequently speaks of karma carrying experience beyond "death after the dissolution of the body." One can mystically see beings re-arising ("again-becoming") according to their deeds, the fruition of a karmic act that serves as the "rebirth-linking consciousness."
It's okay. I'm not staying dead (zenmotion.com)
Is it the same being surviving death or wholly another? Both views are mistaken and rooted in ignorance of the impersonal process. Conventionally speaking, it is the same person. But ultimately speaking, there is no identity from one moment to the next even while alive. (Materiality, sensation, perception, mental formations, and awareness are not identical from one submoment to the next but rather are constantly in flux, giving rise to different subsequent replacements). Therefore, Buddhism uniquely teaches the doctrine of not-self or not-soul (anatta). This does not mean that there is nothing that lives, dies, and is reborn.
Instead, the "ghost," "spirit," or subtle body involved is called the gandhabba.* The Buddha meticulously described and explained the process-of-consciousness (viññāṇa). These phenomena exist, and their nature is radically impermanent, impersonal, and unsatisfactory, and therefore they cannot ultimately be called an immortal or permanent self or soul. A superficial grasp of Buddhism leads to the wrong view that Buddhism is materialistic like science, contradictory, or that it denies or is ignorant of subtle-forms commonly reported in mystical experiences. The Buddha was perfectly aware of the dying process, the rebirth-linking process, and life continuum in any state of existence. *Gandhabba(Sanskrit, gandharva) refers to a being (or, strictly speaking, part of
the causal continuum of consciousness) in a liminal state between death
and rebirth.
Death can prompt us to live well
We almost never want to think or speak of our own death, but it can be more difficult to deal with the death of a loved one. This is a source of great grief the Buddha called "suffering" (dukkha, unsatisfactoriness). In this long course of rebirths, we have lost uncountable loved ones -- children, parents, spouses, relatives, and friends. Loss and separation are inevitable in wandering life after life. Even heavenly rebirths, which are often incredibly long, eventually come to an end.
HOW TO CONTACT THE DEPARTED: Anyone can use the Psychomanteum, a chamber developed by Dr. Moody. He was inspired by ancient Greek techniques used for 2,500 years at the Oracle of
the Dead in Ephyra, Greece. A visitor to a psychomantium (mirrored room) often
experiences contact with departed loved ones. How? The process takes several hours of sincerely and emotionally speaking of
the departed while gazing into a specially lit mirror tilted so as not
to reflect oneself. This is explained in the doctor's DVDs Through the Tunnel & Beyondand Reunions.
The Wheel of Samsara shown here represents the "continued wandering on" through innumerable rebirths and re-deaths in various realms of existence (Hanciong/flickr.com)
Host Lisa Garr engages Dr. Raymond Moody in conversation on the topic of rebirth and his latest book, Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife, exploring aspects of his many years of research in near-death studies.
Dr. Raymond Moody, M.D.(lifeafterlife.com) is the bestselling author of 11 books which have sold over 20 million copies. His main work, Life After Life,
has completely changed the way we view death and dying and has sold
over 13 million copies worldwide. Dr. Moody is the leading authority on
the “near death experience” (NDE), a phrase he coined in the late 1970s. He
is best known for his groundbreaking work on the near death experience among the living
and what happens when we finally actually die. The New York Times calls him “the
father of the near death experience.”
SHARED NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES are when living bystanders also experience what the nearly-dying person sees, hears, and feels. This is amazing evidence that the afterlife is real rather than a hallucination. We live again and again, life after life. These are the findings of famous psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Moody, M.D. with 40 years in the field. NDEs cause profound spiritual changes in the living, including losing our fear of death.
To explore a transcendental near death experience, we follow a neurosurgeon’s journey into the afterlife. The DVD Conversations with Eben Alexander & Raymond Moody discusses Dr. Alexander’s firsthand experience. Spend two
hours with Dr. Moody, "father of the near-death-experience," and
Dr. Eben Alexander, author of the New York Times’ No. 1 bestseller Proof of Heaven, as
they go beyond the death experience. They explore issues
surrounding the transcendental near-death experience. Their
conversation takes the discussion to a whole new level questioning the
scientific and spiritual methodology, offering new insights into the
ultimate human question.
(Nov. 27, 2013) Dr. Mario Martinez is a clinical neuropsychologist and founder of
Biocognitive science. He lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs
affect health and longevity beyond genetics. Biocognition explores
the learning of illness and the causes of health. It defies the genetic
helplessness proposed by our reductionist science. Joy, on the other hand,
requires sufficient self-esteem to accept it without self-sabotage. His research
demonstrates that thoughts and their biological expression co-emerge
within a cultural history, even as current science continues to separate
mind and body. To be healthy and youthful, we can ignore the influence of cultural contexts have on the
process of health. For example, cultures that view
growing older as positive are associated with increased wisdom and have
higher numbers of centenarians living healthier lives than cultures like ours which
view aging as a process of inevitable deterioration.
