PEOPLE OF EARTH We have within the last 24 hours received channeled instructions from 'On High' informing us that the time has come for all the spiritual people of the world to own and confess just how silly they have been at times in their pursuit of the ineffable Greatness of the Divine Being. Indeed it has been decreed that in order to pass through the Pearly Gates, every man, woman and dolphin will have to come clean about some of their spiritual foibles! We, Brian Emmett and Eddie Blatt*, humbly offer the following Storytelling Project as a means to that end. To those prepared we must ask the following deep and meaningful questions:
* Are you getting tired of trying to look so “God-damn spiritual'?
* Are you weary of projecting the image of the oh-so-noble and perfect spiritual personality to the world, equipped with spellbinding morality and unbending integrity?
* Are you yearning to express the Inner Nitwit?
* Are you longing to let the world know just how crazy you and/or your friends have gotten on occasion?
* Do you know a story or two of an unsurpassed absurdity?
If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions then please keep reading! A few more questions to consider:
* Do you believe that God loves laughter and good humor?
* Do you believe that He/She would approve of, and probably even delight in people laughing at their own foibles and silliness while trying to relate to His or Her instructions.
* Do you believe that the Divine would support your participation in a project that may help your fellow humans to become more understanding and sympathetic towards spiritual aspirants and the struggles they endure?
It has been our observation that mixed in with all the profound, transformative and sacred moments which we all have enjoyed in our spiritual life, many of us have, to varying degrees, participated in moments of extraordinary foolishness, staggering jerkiness and world-class inanity just begging to be shared and enjoyed by others. So we are creating a book sourced from spiritual folk about spiritual life, that will not only be funny and/or humorous and reveal genuine insights into who we are as people but also introduce a number of genuine insights and lessons learned about spirituality itself. The book will also serve as an acknowledgment of our common quest for reunion with the unspeakable Greatness of the Divine. One of the more idealistic aspirations we have for this book is to achieve an affectionate camaraderie with those who have left behind the old games of sectarian defensiveness, one-upmanship and undue personal pride, that have served to keep us all at a distance from each other for eons.
So, if like us, you have a lot of yeses in your answers to the above questions, and you have a sense of humor about yourself and maybe even your life-path, you could receive a yearly royalty by becoming a contributor to a wonderful new series of books called:
'Why God Can’t Stop Laughing at You' (The New Spiritual Humor As Revealed By Authentic Practitioners!)
Our commitment is to A New Spirit Of Openness. The authors who will be included in this collection are those who can demonstrate this new freedom, trust and self-confidence, and who have a lighthearted willingness to have a laugh at themselves in the context of their attempts at spiritual practices. We hope this book will facilitate openness and rapprochement across a broad range of peoples and practitioners from many Traditions, Paths and Religions, and from all across the world.
P.S. Kindly remember: RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
