It has been said that the Universe has no sense of humor; that to ask for something, one is going to get the "literal" translation of what they asked for. Yet, there are references to "cosmic jokes", and it becomes difficult to distinguish whether this is an issue of bad/no humor, or a matter of translation.

As debatable as humor is in the physical plane, it's almost scary to think of trying to determine the humor quotient of fourth- and fifth-dimensional beings. Unfortunately, it is a fact that most humans, at least subconsciously, think of themselves and their lives as cosmic jokes.

The Universe does have a sense of humor, but humor through cruelty is not one of its means of expressions. What humans often think of as Catch-22's (no end solutions), are solvable on some level, and rather than thinking of the Universe as a mass-parade of string-pullers, we need to start thinking of ourselves as conscious co-Creators.

Whatever else can be said, it is undeniable that humans do have senses of humor. Humor is often what makes life palatable when nothing else does. It is humor which allows humans to go beyond their other senses and to say that through the expression of joy and laughter, Humanity lifts itself from the oppression of input and calculation as demanded through our other senses.

The true joy of humor is that it not only matches our other senses; it is the only sense that truly escalates a human beyond his reference points. As the Seventh Ray is the point of Divine Law and Creation, it is essential that humor be infused to add the additional creative elements of empathy, compassion, and identification.

The ability to appreciate humor, and to share it, is the Soul of Humanity.

How do humans interpret Humor. Physically, response is secondary to mentally; humor is processed through the mental plane. If the energy is reciprocated correctly, then humor has positive impression on the physical body. Mentally, humor exercises mental thought, and is positively stimulating. Etherically, humor resonates within various planes, and the etheric becomes "amplified" as a point of receptivity and conscious empathy, and Astrally, light is projected through the astral body, and is reflected through related astral bodies in proximity.


How important is humor to us as the human race and to the universe? Is it necessary or do you think it is a type of seventh sense that is unneccessary for our existence?

Although the answer is a good one, I contemplate what it has to do with the question I ask. Perhaps you can enlighten me as I ask it again here.

Does the universe have humor, a sense of what is funny or not?When I think about what is funny, it is first a mental activity, something that just doesn't line up perfectly, but outside of strict logic delivers a certain punch. I think humor lets in a deeper understanding that that allowed by the mind alone. It kind of opens up different types of thinking and looking at the world. It has a physical sense too, in that the motion of the body is integral to the emotion, and all of that stemming from the funny thoughts. There has to be a mind to make or get a funny. The mind is part of the universe, so I can say for certain only that small localized portions of the universe have a sense of humor. But the brain and body of a human is just a certain arrangement or configuration of basic parts found all over, such as atoms and electricity, fats... A joke to us is what makes a laugh occur, but that same type of stimulus could be applied to another state or some alien body, or a rock even, and while it may not register it as something that would also be found if stimulated by a comic, it could perhaps sort the energy in some way. That is the extent to which I find that the universe has a sense of humor. It pairs notions or ideas in odd or strangely alarming ways, just think about all of those tragic coincidenses or a playpuss and a grin comes to the face. But nature might just smile differently, and have a silent form of laughter. It might not even need to joke, but I don't see why it wouldn't!
