Releasing Seriousness

The other day, I heard the humorist, Trina Hess www.yourshiningexample.com. We had a great conversation about the relationship between humor and detachment. In order to find the humorous in the most challenging circumstances, we must achieve a certain level of detachment.

When it comes to our interpretations of our own lives. Most of us are way too serious most of the time. We are so hard on ourselves and other people. Judging ourselves and others does nothing but show us that we are not accepting things as they come to us. Seriousness about ourselves shows us that we are filtering our internal and external perceptions through outdated, automatic fear-based programs and habits.

Most people most of the time approach life from a fear-based perspective, and from that perspective seek to control people and circumstances to reinforce their unconscious control addictions. Whenever we are dealing with addictions, things get really serious. When we release our fears, we can release our unnecessary seriousness and experience reality as it presents itself to us. This is much more fun than having uncsconsious programs running our lives that are bent upon seeking out our next fix in a vain attempt to satisfy a deeper need.

There is a wonderful richness to our experience when we accept everything as it is instead of resisting what we perceive and imagine. Being serious has its place in the world. I am not a fan of continuous silliness and frivolity, because sometimes taking something seriously helps people to better focus their energies.

Whether our lives in any moment appear to be  a comedy, drama, adventure, tragedy, or action story, is up to us. It all depends on where we put our focus. Look within for the interpretive frameworks that are making your life appear to be whatever it is. May you comes to experience live to be abundant in all of the best things!
