Seriousness and Joy
Psychic vibrations from heaviest to lightest
and their effect on happiness :)
Lorenzo Monaco, Annunciazione , c. 1425, Chiesa de Santa Trinita, Firenze, Italia
"Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious."
Seriousness
is a super-heavy neutral energy (neither male nor female in valence)
- Seriousness provides security, stability, and punishment.
- Serious Energy validates fear while "seriously" blocking creativity, friendliness, and joy.
- Seriousness is the main tool in the punishment portfolio of Shani.
- Serious energy frequently hosts its two favorite guests, Guilt and Grief
Joy
is a super-light neutral energy.
- Joy provides lightheartedness, open-mindedness, and delight.
- Joyous energy validates creativity and the omnipresence of God while not blocking anything, except that running a lot of Joy makes it energetically impossible to tolerate much seriousness!
Continuum
Seriousness and Joy are two extreme poles on a psychic energy continuum.
- Most people slide along this scale pretty fluidly.
- Kids tend to prefer the Joy end and adults are socialized to hang out mainly at the serious end.
- But even the most respectable, responsible super-Adult can be found looping around the Joy end on specially designated Joy days like Christmas...
Blast out of excess seriousness
Got too much Serious Energy in your space?
- Feeling overburdened, crushed by problems, victim of circumstances?
- Wallowing in Fear (especially fear of punishment)?
We all do it, we are taught to do it, we are oddly rewarded for doing it, because Serious Energy makes us look Responsible.
- Even kids get seriously serious with excessive homework, event-scheduling, and other adult-ifying socializations.
Luckily it's blessedly easy to blow that serious energy right out of your space.
- Just call it by name. "Yo, serious energy! Get out of my space!" and practice the famous mantraa of Lewis Bostwick, passed on to generations of psychic students as the world's most effective psychic dynamite
"It's not my problem!
"ADULT"
Adults are defined by society as "the people who handle the problems".
- Now handling problems can be fun and easy when problems are part of a game and you are solving problems in a space of creativity and joy.
- There's nothing wrong with having problems or solving problems.
- But there is something wrong (or at least something boring and uncomfortable) about BECOMING one's problems.
- So the first thing to do to clear your space is to blast out junk problems, problems that really belong to someone else, or to the government or to the universe.
Get other people's problems out of your space.
- You'll have to blast them out if you're an established grown-up who's accustomed to shouldering a lot of heavy responsibilities.
- Say it loud and clear. Say it to the bathroom mirror. Say it [nicely] to your kids, your boss, your spouse, your parents, your neighbors, your religious authorities, all those empowered punishers who delight in keeping you serious, responsible, in-line, respectable, predictable, paid-up, and boring.
"It's not my problem!
Say it again. Hee-hee. Feels pretty good.
Now watch the Joyousness start surging in to take the place of released Seriousness.
- Ah, yes. Final exams coming up? Promotion/salary raise? Worried about that grade/your future/your parent's opinion of your future/the governments ability to control your future/world domination by grading authorities/etc? Will your house sell for the right price at the right time? What if people talk? Trying to avoid embarrassment or social stigma? Damned if you do and damned if you don't?
Catch it. Make fun of it. Blow it into psychic smithereens.
"It's not my problem!
Good problemsDon't worry, any of the "good" problems that you are psychically attuned to solving with love and creativity will stick to you in spite of psychic blast-outs.
- These good-and-natural type of "problems" don't have that heavy, serious energy... they are filled with desire and affection.
- Examples = helping your kids, admiring your parents, supporting your community, winning at fun games, etc.
- These are all problems that truly authentically belong to "you" because of the love networks you joined in previous lives.
- They aren't really problems at all, but just opportunities to love and support the people you care about.
Bad problems
The stuff we want to clean out is the drudgery, the punishment, the blaming, the fear-based reactions, terror, the survival energy, the negative "what-if" scenarios, the punishment energy, the criticism, the punishment energy...- Did I mention the punishment energy?
- Obviously, all that yuck is highly unsuitable to a loving, creative being like yourself, and it feels bad because its foreign to you.
- Whereas loving and protecting your spouse and children requires putting out effort for sure but it's positive, creative effort that feels good to produce because it's authentic to you.
No problems at All
Move out some yuck, and watch the psychic thermometer start to move up the Serious-Joy continuum, way up toward the Joy pole.
- Ironically, consistent purging of Serious energy will make you a much more effective problem-solver, since you will have liberated a great deal of creativity in the process of exploding the seriousness.
"It's not my problem!
Enjoy.
- "YES VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS."
-
In September, 1897, an eight year old New York girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Sun asking, "Is there a Santa Claus?" In reply Francis P. Church wrote an editorial which pleased so many readers that the Sun printed it every year during the Christmas season, from 1897 to 1949. The letter and editorial, from Sept. 21, 1897 follow:
Dear Editor:
I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says: "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth: Is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he lives forever! A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

"Many places have been totally changed through the use of police force and the power of guns--the Soviet Union, China, Burma, the Philippines, many communist countries, countries in Africa and South America. But eventually, you see, the power of guns and the power of the will of ordinary human beings will change places. I am always telling people that our century is very important historically for the planet. There is a big competition between world peace and world war, between the force of mind and the force of materialism, between democracy and totalitarianism.
Still, of course, the material force is very strong, but there is a kind of dissatisfaction about materialism and a realization or feeling that something is missing. ...entering the twenty-first century, I think the basic concerns are human values and the value of truth. These things have more value, more weight now." ~~ H.H. Dalai Lama, A Policy of Kindness: An Anthology of Writings By and About the Dalai Lama Compiled and edited by Sidney Piburn, foreword by Sen. Claiborne Pell. www.snowlionpub.com |

"And
now my friends,
all that is true, all that is noble, all that is just and pure, all that is loveable and gracious, whatever is excellent and admirable - fill all your thoughts with these things." ~~ Philippians 4:8 |
