All of the other animals follow their joy and be themselves - everything from the one celled organisms to the beasts that run on the land of the planet.
On a more spiritual note, I feel that reincarnation is about joy as well. Think about it, if we are here to learn, why not have full memory of all our past lives? We come forth without knowledge for the joy of relearning - the joy of having our first Christmas, once again - the joy of having our first bike ride - once, again. The way to connection is not in the mind - it is in the heart.

So rape and murder is just bliss too?

What about people who enjoy killing or get an sexual high from domination?

Your analysis is almost true. You have to determine now what Bliss is based on.
Bliss is based on the correct configuration of the inner energy structure of humans. That over time has gone out of balance, that’s why we have the perverse actions of humans.
ALL mysticism and true religion is based on regaining that inner structure of balance, then we will have this Bliss you speak of.

Without bad, how could we understand or experience the joy of good? As far as sexual deviance, murder, etc... The only explanation I can give is the great need for equilibrium in energy. Just as atoms/molecules strive to be neutral, so does our cosmic vibrational energy. Thus, for extreme empathy, there must be murder. I am human, I don't yet understand this or accept it, but feel this is the case.edit on 12-3-2011 by donatellanator because: typo
I also agree that we are trying to reach a state of 'eveness' or bliss, which will result in human understanding and universal awareness. Until then, this is our fate.edit on 12-3-2011 by donatellanator because: (no reason given)

Therefore the only real knowledge worthy to seek is knowledge on how to get to the state of bliss we lost or never had

I feel like bliss may not be the most correct term. We as humans are constantly searching and changing ourselves in order to create a balance, to reach a point of complete equilibrium. This will either be a state of complete growth or complete stagnation. it is these two states where we derive the terms "good" and "evil" from I believe
