The Truth Will Make You Laugh
The Oauqui is/are quoted to purportedly have said that "the truth will make you laugh." This, coincidentally, is the closely, but inversely correlated to the insight that led me to concocting DeepFUN Meditation. The underlying premis of DeepFUN mediaton is that when you laugh, you are the truth. The purpose of the meditation being to reflect that truth back into the world.
Laughter, claim/s the Oaqui, is a Oaqui invention. The Oaqui explain/s:
"For example, it is likely that the sound people make when they laugh is a genetic memory of the actual sound of the Big Banging: reminding them thereby of the infinite humor of it all when it was all for fun.
"We/I also believe that the real reason I/we invented laughter could very well have been to remind humanity as a whole of something.
"Then there's theory that laughter is the sound of the energy that is released when the unfun becomes fun again: a quantum releasing of fun to yet another level that is more fun than that.
"It also could very well be the sound of the soul applauding, of the whole body clapping, returning to a state of primal health, resonating with universal glee.
"Then it occurs to me/us that I/we might have very cleverly created laughter so that we/I could leave humanity with a spiritual Heimlich Maneuver: whenever the spirit gets blocked by the unfun, a little laughter is all it takes to resuscitate the soul.
"In sum, I/we don't exactly know why, or when or actually if we created laughter or even what laughter is for.
"In the beginning it was fun.
"In the end, it was all for fun.
"And in between is where it tickles most."
