Meanwhile, back here on earth, things are a bit more problematical. We
still haven't fully recovered from that vicious dogma attack of 911. But
as an optimystic, I believe you can indeed teach an old dogma new
tricks, simply by changing the emPHAsis to another sylLABle. Instead of
focusing only on emergency measures, why not take emerge 'n SEE
measures?
When we emerge from our fearful hiding places and see from
the cosmic comic perspective, we realize that beneath all
the stress and distress and sadness in life there is a deep well of joy.
Each time we let laughter bubble up from the well, we experience deep
wellness. Levity helps us overcome gravity, especially when we shine the
light of laughter on those poorly-lit corridors of power.
Do you know what the leading cause of terrorism is? It's seriousness.
I'm serious. Think about it. Those people have no sense of humor.
Otherwise how could they believe they will get to heaven by putting
other people through hell? Here is my vision: A suicide bomber arrives
at the Gates of Heaven, and God clops him over the head and says,
"SCHMUCK! What'd you do that for? 72 virgins? YOU get one 72-year-old
virgin, and his name starts with Ayatollah!"
But if Americans are willing to revive the Iraqi Horror
Picture Show just to feed our out-of-control oil habit, how
are we that different? How many innocents will be put
through hell, just to preserve our little corner of relative heaven?
There is no real peace without harmony and balance, only the vicious
cycle of injustice. Peons get tired of getting peed on, right? You get
pissed on, and pretty soon you're gonna get pissed off. This causes the
hot spots to flare, and pretty soon you have an uprising, which usually
results in a downfall. All these uprisings and downfalls can be wearing
on the body politic.
Fortunately, we do have a choice. One of my favorite stories recently is
about a Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson. He
tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each
other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf
is fear, greed and hatred. "Which wolf will win, grandfather?" asks the
young boy. "Whichever one I feed," is the reply.
Every day -- every moment -- we have the choice to feed the wolf of love
or the wolf of fear. It is interesting that we are called humanKIND.
What better time than now to find out, can mankind treat man kindly?
I have a dream ... I call it tell-a-vision. I say, if you're
dissatisfied with the current programming, you can turn off your TV and
tell a vision instead. Here is my vision: Remember the Manhattan Project
during World War II? It took less than four years for a group of
scientists to develop the first weapon of mass destruction. My vision
is, we can do even better for an even worthier goal. We could call it
the Manhelpin Project, and its purpose would be to develop the first
weapon of mass construction instead.
Think about it. What if we used that $200 billion set to detonate in
Iraq, and put it toward becoming the worldwide leader in renewable,
clean, sustainable energy sources? Now there's some real power. Create
something so plentiful you don't have to pay an army to protect your
share. A healthy income, a healthy outcome ... what could possibly make
more sense? Boy, talk about feeding two birds with one scone!
The choice is up to us. If we want an alternative, we must
feed the "alter native" economy ... anything that alters us natives for
the better. The world we live in is a byproduct of the products we buy,
is it not? What if we only choose to buy products with healthy
byproducts? Think about this: There are at least 45 million Americans
who consciously want to feed the wolf of peace. If each of us switched
just $100 into the alter native economy, that would be $4.5 billion!
Last year, we launched a blisskrieg and declared "all out peace." I'm
happy to report it is already working. More people are letting their
inner peace out, and these outbreaks of peace are actually causing
esteem to rise! And we all know that rising esteem is good for the
atmosphere. As esteem rises, more people on the planet will be able to
be all that they can be -- without joining the army. And when more of us
put our energy into love and laughter instead of criticizing and
condemning, we will have Uncritical Mass ... and we will bring about
Nonjudgment Day, and along with it, Disarmaggedon. Now you might be
wondering, what will Nonjudgment Day look like? Let me tell another
vision.
I have been to the heights of levity, and I have seen people all over
the world dancing together in the universal dance of fool realization
... The Hokey Pokey. I want you to hold this vision with me: all of the
world leaders at the United Nations beginning their sessions with the
Hokey Pokey. What if Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat put their whole
selves in in? That would be commitment. And then pulled their whole
selves out. That is detachment. Then they turn themselves around, which
is transformation. And that, my friends, is what it is all about!
So, how can you help raise the laugh force on the planet
enough to bring about Nonjudgment Day? First, you can take a vow of
levity, and laugh more. And we even have a Laughmore Society to help you
do just that. Next, you can support everyone's right to laugh by joining
the Right To Laugh Party ... "One big party, everyone is invited. All
for fun, and fun for all."
Commit random acts of comedy. Practice Fun Shui and leave
the world a funnier place. Anything to elicit a moment of of
fool-realization with a spark of laughter. Because only when we lovingly
laugh at our foolishness, can we seriously change things for the better.
May you wake up laughing and leave laughter in your wake ... and may
the Farce be with you! >>
