Laughter and Mergence

.

In my journey of self discovery I often find information that is profouund and insightful. The following has helped me understand my current dilemma.

Perhaps the two subjects need to be looked at separately, but as they were intertwined when I discovered them I decided to include both aspects.

I have included the website this information came from at the end of this post.




Many people on the Earth, who become involved in religion superficially, believe that their ‘religious duty’ is to weep.

“Yet, spiritual warriors neither weep, nor complain, nor pity themselves. They see their own defects and — without stopping to fight — get rid of them once and for all!

Do you know, for example, how to master the art of perfect control over matter? It is very simple! One has to learn to laugh!

“I like to laugh! Do you want Me to tell you about the laugh of Nagual?

“Spiritual warriors from the very beginning must learn the laugh of Nagual: they laugh at their own vices and thus make them burst like soap-bubbles — vices burst together with the inflated feeling of self-importance!

“Many people believe that it is weapons that make man strong. This is wrong! It is laugh that makes man strong! The laugh of Nagual turns the envelope of the ‘I’ into nothing. The only thing one has to add is calm and love — and then… There is only infinite, flowing, free consciousness…

“Search for personal power is just a hook, a trick which the One Power* uses for ‘catching’ and teaching them who do not hear when they are told about Love… or Tenderness…

“If they do not learn this from the Power, they are not going to progress…

“There is the following law: the Power does not belong to anyone, only you can belong to the Power.

This cannot be conveyed to others by means of words. This has to be ‘tasted’: as one bites off, chews, and swallows a piece of bread — only then you can know it.


You love Me — and merge with Me. But I also love you — and merge with you! Mergence can be only mutual and voluntary. Any deviation from this rule is violence!

“In order to achieve absolute fullness of Mergence you have to become like-minded to Me…

“It is very hard to cleanse and enlighten the mind. In order to become like-minded to Me, one has to begin with throwing out from the head all habitual, old stereotypes, which are easy to use, — the stereotypes of thinking and behaving. The spiritual warrior has to make the mind open for receiving new.

“Also, realize: I remain always That What I am, independent of the conditions occurring on the material plane. You, too, have to master this: to be Me independent of what happens around.

“One of the aspects of the art of action is that if spiritual warriors happen to be in adverse conditions, they never merge with them but always remain true to themselves. It is not places of power on the Earth’s surface that have to dictate you who you are, but rather you have to remain that which you decided to be — independent of the energies of the surroundings and other influences!”
