| The third column on UM’s Happiness Grid, this happiness type centers around discovering a sense of meaning, place, or purpose through understanding yourself. As with all items on the Happiness Grid, this refers both to the impact of a practice and the impact of other factors such as purposeful action, chance, and so forth. Four levels of Insight are distinguished on the Happiness Grid:
| Understandings, meaningful experiences, or “aha” moments that come about as the result of practice.


# You understand yourself in terms of personal identity
This is a broad definition of the word insight that can be used in many situations. The term Insight, referring to a column of the Happiness Grid, has a more specialized definition.
# You understand yourself in terms of psychological conditioning
 
# You understand yourself as a real-time sensory system
Can be understood as happening on a continuum from surface to deep:
# You understand yourself as originally complete
 
* Surface Insight—you’re looking to satisfy more ordinary happiness conditions. For instance, you figure out how to win at poker.
* Deeper Insight—you’ve begun to understand insight in a broader, more complete way. For instance, the pain you’re experiencing doesn’t need to go away, the sensations just need to move without running into any resistance. Other insights would be clearly seeing how CC&E work together to minimize suffering or how they work together to amplify fulfillment.
* Deep Insight—you discover what it’s like to completely transcend the need for more surface outcomes. For instance, through direct experience you’re released from a sense of separateness. As a result, you realize that getting stuck in a sense of separateness is what causes you to suffer. Other insights include experiential understanding of deep Expansion/Contraction flow, Original Completeness, how Serving From Love is a natural consequence of Oneness, etc.
