The Laugh that Liberates you

June 30, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

I hope you enjoyed this talk. It turns out the talk was about your discovering how double-bind work in your everyday mind, and how laughter is the way to break out of them, because when you see that you are absurd..that’s right, you are absurd…you laugh. The best laughter is at yourself. So the double-bind where you can’t choose your way out of a fix, you get jammed up with every choice being a loser, you can suddenly break out by seeing the YOU are absurd. The situation is not absurd…you are absurd. And we don’t want to see that, do we. No somebody, some situation, something other than me is absurd…and I can laugh at them. But that is not the laugh that liberates you. No…

That laugh that liberates you is to see there is no way out! No Exit! You cannot choose your way out of life. You cannot choose your way to the future where it is safe from the absurdity of the Now.

Now is ambiguous. Now is Life. Life is ambiguous. You can’t choose you way out. Period. So when you see that through and through..you laugh at the cosmic joke. And you are free.

Awaken Insight Meditation

AIM is a website where I share my Dharma Insights in my everyday mind. My daily experiences are metaphors that point to the Truth that is One. Paths are many, but the Dharma is One. I invite you to walk with me on my journey. I also invite you to enter into creative dialogue with the post, for then we push it forward and get some traction in our life.
