Laughter and Humor Important? You Must Be Joking! Here's A Chance to Wake Up Laughing ... and Leave Laughter in Your Wake
"To be happy in life, you must be able to take a joke. And if you can leave a few, that's even better." ~ Swami Beyondananda
Dear Friends:
What with all the serious problems in the world, it might seem a stretch to take laughter and humor seriously. But what if healing laughter and "cosmic comic consciousness" provided the very tools we require in these evolutionary times?
Seriously.
At a time when our civilization needs to shift from a state of emergency to a state of emergent seeing, humor is a way to integrate the left and right brain, the intuitive and the linear. A transformational joke or phrase (what Swami calls "an irony supplement") can free the mind of obsolete beliefs, and hearty laughter puts us into the heart. Consider the irony that the most reliable take on the news nowadays comes via the Comedy Channel! Why? Because humor is a delivery system for information that simultaneously exposes the B.S., while the levity allows us to "rise above" the situation - to emerge from the limited thinking that created the problem in the first place - and "see" our way to an emergent solution.
Laughter has the power to break the cultural trances by making the insanity palpable. When enough people are laughing at an insane and crazy-making societal story, that story loses all power, and a new story becomes possible.
Even more important, what the Swami calls "self-facing humor" allows us to break our own personal trances and see our own shadow. In a moment of "fool realization," we laugh heartily and lovingly at our own foolishness... and become a wise fool in the process.
Starting this Thursday, September 8th, you'll have a chance to learn the secrets of transformational humor from a master - Steve Bhaerman aka Swami Beyondananda, who has been called "the Mark Twain of our generation" by author Marianne Williamson.
