Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 : Swami Beyondananda, spiritual leader to millions of FUNdamentalists : (accent on "fun") has launched a worldwide "blisskrieg" in a declaration : of "all out peace!" : : Speaking from a platform at his new virtual address at : http://www.wakeuplaughing.com, the Swami said, "We've been holding our : peace for far too long. It's time to let it out! Why should peacekeepers : keep the peace for themselves when the world needs it so goodly : nowadays?" : : The Swami was interrupted numerous times by gleeful supporters shouting : the peace mantra, "Ah .. peace on it!" and waving banners reading "Our : World: Love It Or Leave It!Play For Nonjudgment Day" and : "Disarmaggedon Is Near!" : : "It's a fight to the life!" Swami told his minions, vowing to open the : floodgates of love, light and laughter to cleanse the body politic of : cultural, economic and political toxins that have caused folks to "take : things poisonally" -- and perpetuate war. : : "These are challenging times," said the Swami, "which call for : Emerge-n-See measures. It is time for us to emerge from our fearful and : powerless hiding places and see the big picture. We have met the Savior : and He is Us. I see all these Children of God praying for Jesus to : intervene, but we cannot expect to be fed intervenously forever. Time for : Children of God to grow up, for Christ's sake, and become Adults of God : for a change. Playful adults, that is." : : "Because the key to lasting peace is laughter," he told the crowd. "Do : you know what the leading cause of war and terrorism is? I will tell : you. It is seriousness. Seriousness is the most serious problem we face : on the planet today. I'm serious. Think about it. Every terrorist act -- : not to mention terror itself -- begins with seriousness. Everywhere we : look, we are faced with laugh-threatening seriousness." The Swami called : on his supporters to "report any serious behavior to the Department of : Omland Security." : : "Levity, on the other hand, helps us rise above whatever's been : bringing us down," the Swami continued. "Did you know that one Youngman : of laughter -- : approximately the mirth contained in the average one-liner -- can : release up to a megahurt of emotional pain?" : : Finally, the Swami outlined his plan for conducting the Blisskrieg and : waging all out peace. "It is very simple indeed. While it makes no sense : to take up arms against warfare, it makes all the sense in the world to : lift up arms and embrace anything that nourishes peace." Whereupon Swami : offered the following 5-point plan to spark outbreaks of peace all : across the planet: : : 1. Create A Department of Emerge-n-See Planning Now. If war is a : necessary evil, why not seek peace as a necessary good? We should be : putting at least as much energy and money into secretly plotting peace -- : sneaking food and clothing into war-torn nations under the cover of : darkness, sending tanks to drought-stricken areas so that they can : capture rainwater, sending in comedy troops in an all-out amfunniest : assault -- and an even more controversial measure, dropping canisters of : laughing gas on persistent pockets of seriousness. : : 2. Enlist the World Religions to Do Something Useful. Prayer works. : According to Dr. Larry Dossey and others who have studied the healing : power of prayer, surgery patients who were prayed for tended to heal more : quickly. Not only that, but if the people who were doing the praying were : also prayed for, results were even better! And it worked regardless of : the language or religion they were praying in. Instead of engaging in : that childish and destructive game, "My dogma's better than your dogma," : the major religions would do better to organize a worldwide prayer : calm-petition -- it could be called the God Will Games -- and donate the : proceeds to ending spiritual hunger on the planet. Regardless of who wins : the pray-offs, everyone will benefit. : : 3. Support the Alter-Native Economy. If we're going to aggressively : wage peace, we want to spend more of our wages peacefully. So support the : alter native economy -- whatever alters the natives for the better. Our : lives are by products of what we buy. So if you want to counteract the : profits of doom, only buy products with healthful and helpful byproducts. : And consider trading in your old Dodge for an Evolvo and running your : karma on esteem. Rising esteem can actually improve the overall : atmosphere by causing the heart to warm, and the head to cool. This may : be the answer to global warming! : : 4. Support the Peace Effort on the Om Front. We've heard the experts : say nothing will bring peace, so I say let's prove 'em right. Our lives : are so filled up with somethings that we have no room for nothing : anymore! That's why my ultimate meditation tape, Sounds of Silence, is : completely blank. Think about it. Our minds are filled up with : information everywhere we go. After a busy day thinking of everything, : what a welcome relief it is to think of nothing. So as part of my work on : behalf of inner peace, you can now come to my Om Page and download as : much healing silence as you need -absolutely free! And you can do your : part for world inner peace by sending some peaceful silence to a friend. : Sure this is a peacemeal approach, but it works. A little peace here, a : little peace there, and pretty soon you have one big peaceful meal : everywhere. : : 5. Spread Contagious Laughter Wherever You Go. If we truly want to : bring about Nonjudgment Day, we need to do whatever we can to increase : the laugh force on the planet. Take the funniest jokes from the internet, : and share them on the outernet. Commit random acts of harmless comedy. : Practice Fun-Shui by creating playful beauty everywhere. Make sure you : spend some time each week laughing with friends and loved ones. Remember : that when it comes to laughter, the more the merrier. And remember too, : what goes around comes around. In other words, the laugh you save may be : your own. : : : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
