We often say, “I will laugh about this someday.”
Make that someday right now in the middle of it. Black humor. Gallows humor. Employ all of it.
This is not trivial.
This is lifesaving.
We are activating the involuntary system inside, the system that has enough wisdom to keep our blood circulating, and the first system to shut down in fear. We are not making light of a bad situation, we are revealing the light inside of every situation.
Take special care that in our humor we practice sensitivity and love.
Good humor reveals truths that could not be released any other way. It is not used to cover the fear, it is used to open a gateway for it to be released. And yet, remember, the desire is not to get anywhere; it is to get the spot open.
We can say the thing that we or everyone else is already thinking, but travel that thin line between laughter and pain, humor and hurt.
Opening that line is like getting fresh air onto the wound.
Use that fighting spirit as a way to keep our spirit alive.
If we are on an Erotic path, we take the circumstances that we clench against, that we block at any cost, and turn towards them.
We open as if they were a lover. We take them in.
