It’s serious business out there.
Life. Turn on the news or read a newspaper, we’re inundated with the
terrible. I’m sure some of that is simply because the sensational
brings the attention of the viewer and more viewers brings advertising dollars.
Still, everything about life can seem to be grave, harsh, and cold.
In one verse of his song, “Come On Up To The House,”
Tom Waits sang it like this:
Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy
And you can't find no port
Come on up to the house
There's nothin in the world
Pretty stark, isn’t it! We are here for the
long haul, a struggle of lifelong certainty. But here’s
the real truth of the matter. We have some wonderful tools in our bag of tricks
that help us to deal with life, bring it back to a more enjoyable and far more
bearable plane.
It is true that a certain level of levity can make
everything feel a lot better. We have room for the absurd. We make time for
amusement. We take a break for the frivolous. I am grateful for the benefits of
levity to make our lives just a little more bearable.
I believe there is little in this world better than
that contagious giggle just outside the limits of control. Laughter can make
any moment better, improve our outlook and buoy up even the worst of moods.
Still, there may be some other benefits that are longer lasting.
Here’s a little something a little
levity might be able to do to benefit our physical health:
•
Lower blood pressure
•
Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of
the blood
•
Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal,
respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles
•
Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol
and adrenaline
•
Increase the response of tumor- and
disease-killing cells such as Gamma-interferon and T-cells
•
Defend against respiratory infections–even
reducing the frequency of colds–by immunoglobulon in saliva.
•
Increase memory and learning; in a study at
Johns Hopkins University Medical School, humor during instruction led to
increased test scores
•
Improve alertness, creativity, and memory
Even with these benefits, the most important aspect of
levity is the mood in which it places me. I am grateful that we have an outlet
that helps make everything be all right, a way to bring to my heart a lightness
that would otherwise be stuck in a dull, darkness. Jocularity is something we
can share with our loved ones that costs so very little yet brings us together
and strengthens our relationships. Laughter establishes--or restores--a
positive emotional climate and a sense of connection between two people, who
literally take pleasure in the company of each other. Of course levity can
defuse anger and anxiety, and in so doing it can pave the path to intimacy.
No, folly cannot and will not make the heavier, direr
aspects of life go away. Still, when we can engage life with a sense of mirth,
the stage is set to tackle our problems together and not feel so alone.

Because of their use of clone host fakes the gods have created a blameless society where nobody takes responsibility for the destruction which has occurred.
The BODs, CEOs and wealthy are fakes fresh out of high school, the gods no longer push anyone into it and instead used temptation, and the result is devistation the gods won't "make up" to the disfavored anymore.
The antients used Christinaity to initiate the "Beginnning of The End". Along the way they used it to initiate other tools which they will use to further mankind into decay and towards the Apoocalypse:::UsA, "democracy", capitalism/corporations.
Of the tools they have used, religious, political, economic, social is by far the most damaging and seems reserved for those who have experienced each tactic:::
The god's social tool promoted moral decay, whether sexual, behavioral, professional, etc. It created an enviornment where indecency is the norm.
The dogs are dead.
And they're still incurring evil from their prior life(ves).
Junior Seau is a good example::The real, a 20-something in her next life, making progress, so the gods allow her clone host fake to committ suicide, allowing her off the hook incurring evil in her prior life. AND close the restaurant, her legacy in capitalism.
Al Davis should be so lucky.
The antient's leaders, politicians, celebrities, corporate executives, scientists/professionals are clone host fakes, fresh out of high school who woudln't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Without the gods doing their jobs THROUGH THEM they'd only be good for playing with themselves.
There was a very real perception that bi-racial was much worse for the white than it was for the person of color. The liberal culture, which was designed and promoted with the god's tools to achieve their Apocalyptic goals, screamed racism when there was a very reasonable explanation for this reality::::
In this white punishment known as the United States the person of color has already adopted the disfavors/temptations intended for another race. But by associating/mating with a person of color the white is newly adopting the disfavors of another culture.
And this is the reason why people of color are not welcome in the United States. The gods control everything:::The perception they want to create, the thoughts they want you to have.
People of color can't recover from absorbing the temptations from two cultures. And why they become more and more like so many blacks in America:::Veterans at absorbing the temptations of two cultures.
To further illustrate this is why California's educational system/funding was ranked #1 when California was white:::Education being the basis of the affluent economic system. Now even public higher education has become unaffordable.
The gods behave monsterously in the course of managing Planet Earth, matching our decay, but they demand people be good if you are to have a chance to ascend as a child in a future life.
Not only is doing the right things important (praying, attoning for your sins, thinking the right way:::accepting humility, modesty, vulnerability), so is avoiding the wrong things important as well:::"Go and sin no more".
You NEED active parents who share wisdom to have a real chance to ascend into heaven in a future life, and you MUST be a good parent as well to have that opportunity in your next life.
The antients chose me thousands of years ago, prepared my life to justify their behavior then achieved their goals. To compensate me they followed through with their positioning and destroyed my health.
They let me suffer while they follow through with their lie theater. And all I have to hope for is to be motivated to pray as a victim in the next African genocide.
