Seen from the outside, we’re all much funnier than we think. God thinks we’re funny. The Creator is watching the “Comedy Channel,” and WE are what’s on!
Could experiencing greater health, success and well-being involve something as simple as bringing more joy and laughter into your life? Could you really change the world with more playfulness?
You laugh, and we say, “Terrific! You have a head start!”
It might be a bit of a stretch to take humor seriously. But as writer Norman Cousins discovered when faced with a life-threatening illness, laughter can heal the body, mind and spirit.
Laughter is medicine, all right … in the Native American sense of medicine: a transformational tool to turn the dross of life into the gold of loving laughter.
On the physical and emotional level, laughter instantly releases and eradicates stress. Mentally, laughter cultivates flexibility and creativity. And when we use laughter to take ourselves less seriously, we instantly gain more spiritual and emotional freedom.
As Swami Beyondananda says, “Life is a joke – but God is laughing with us, not at us.”
When we cultivate “self-facing” laughter, we view situations from a higher perspective. We laugh with God at our human foolishness, we attain “fool realization,” and we recognize that we are way, way bigger than our problems and situations.
Now you may be thinking, “OK, you’ve got a point. But I’m simply not funny!”
We say, “HA!”
Seen from the outside, we’re all much funnier than we think. God thinks we’re funny. The Creator is watching the “Comedy Channel,” and WE are what’s on!
The trick isn’t BEING funny … it’s SEEING funny, and by immersing yourself in “cosmic comic consciousness”, just about anyone can learn to see the jokes “hidden in the picture.”
Did you know that one of the most sought-after traits in a spouse or partner is “a sense of humor?” Why? Because a sense of humor is a sense of perspective, and people who have that amazing knack can change another individual’s mood for the better.
Levity certainly helps overcome gravity, and allows us to see from the higher perspective of love.
Laughter shakes us loose, releasing us from no-longer-helpful B.S. (belief systems). When you apply the perspective of laughter to your own story, you are liberated from the grip of that story – and your energy becomes available for more constructive things.
Think about it … what if you were able to bring more genuine joy to all of your life’s situations? What if you could laugh at your problems, and then use the “aha” in the wake of the “ha-ha” to see new solutions? What if you were able to turn your grumpiness into a grumpy “alter ego,” who helps you to laugh at your grumpiness?
What if you were able to effortlessly light up a room, and get much better smileage on your karma?
And what if you could actually become the person your dog thinks you are?
Seriously … and humorously, what if you became more of who you REALLY are, and discovered how much you really, really like the real you?
In this 7-module light-hearted virtual course, Steve will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully experience the transformational power of laughter – which will, in turn, give you the tools to find humor in unlikely places.
Each session will build humorously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to brighten and enlighten your daily life.
And, jest for fun, the Swami will be on-hand to offer his cosmic comic commentary as part of each session.
As the Swami says, “You will wake up laughing, and leave laughter in your wake.”
We begin with the aforementioned punch line to the cosmic joke, “Life is a comedy of situations and we are just having an episode.” What if the hokey pokey IS what it’s all about? What if your friends greet you on the other side with a big banquet where they tell funny stories about you – i.e., you roast in heaven? What if everything we think matters doesn’t matter – and not even matter matters – because it is all energy anyway? This opening session will lay the groundwork of cosmic comic perspective as a filter to apply, not so we can deny tragedy or disappointment, but so we can successfully transform those – and be a light in the world. Oh, and NO homework in the Upwising course, just “home play.” You’ll learn to:
This module focuses on how to put yourself slightly out of whack – to get yourself back in whack. It’s about finding the joke hidden in the picture. Says Swami, “When you look at yourself slightly askew, it’s like getting a new pair of ‘I-glasses’.” The art of seeing funny according to the very “farce-sighted” Stephen Wright, is the art of seeing with innocent perception – with a child’s eye. The science of seeing funny involves intentionally putting things together that don’t belong together, and taking joy in the surprising results. You’ll learn why and how the simple act of putting a smile on your face (even when you don’t feel like it) will cause you to see funnier – and be happier. You’ll learn to:
This module will help you laugh in your own face, and in the face of life’s challenges. This is not denial, not whistling in the dark … it’s a proactive way to mine your life for gems of comedy, and then use these as reminders of what is really important. If you’ve been looking to release the grip of your ego, and find yourself bragging, “I am the most ego-less person I know!” – this module is for you. A key step in mastering the ego is learning to make fun of one’s own seriousness. You will learn some keys – from comedians and non-comedians alike – for how you can bring the perspective of humor to situations that are, if not life-threatening, than certainly laugh-threatening. Obviously not everything is grist for comedy … AND when we choose to lovingly laugh at our own foibles – our problems become less solid, and our path more fluid. You’ll learn to:
Remember: “It’s a joke, laugh?” Here’s where you REALLY need it. You’ll discover humor to bring people together, and raise the overall energy of you, your partner – and all your relations. In this module, you’ll not only learn why a sense of humor is rated as a most desirable trait in a mate, you’ll learn what kinds of humor work, and how to cultivate these. We will include wisdom from some of the most effective relationship teachers and coaches on the planet to help YOU use the magic of humor to create more joyful and authentic connections. You’ll learn to:
Swami tells us the world is in serious condition largely due to our conditioning to be serious, and this module is about how to use humor to shine a light on the most serious shades of darkness. He will offer two examples of how jokes transformed deadly situations by embracing them, and how the energy was shifted in the field. By choosing to laugh – out of awakening, not denial – you will be able to look at the craziness in the world through the eyes of forgiveness and compassion. And you will also see how this “cosmic comic consciousness” will enable you to be more effective than ever before. You’ll learn to:
Is there a relationship between humor and activism? Well, ask Dick Gregory … or the Yes Men … or the students who overthrew the regime of Slobodan Milosevic in Serbia. There’s a reason why one of the first things Hitler did upon coming into power was jail the cabaret comedians, and why rigid and oppressive regimes fear humor. On the other hand, humor can also be used to distort the truth. In this session, we will explore the relationship between humor and the art of persuasion, from propaganda to “impropaganda.” You’ll even get to design and practice random acts of comedy designed to heal the heart and free the mind. Or, as Swami says, “You’ll learn to milk the sacred cow and take the bull by the horns.” You’ll learn to:
In this final module, we will focus on YOUR comic creations and best practices. What makes classes unique are the participants – and the unique contributions that even non-comedians can make to the domain of comedy. Here, participants have an opportunity to post their own comic creations, and best-loved pieces that others created. You’ll learn to:
In addition to the transformative 7-week virtual course, you’ll also receive these powerful training sessions with the world’s leading visionaries and teachers. These bonus sessions are being offered to further complement what you’ll learn in the course – and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.
