Spiritual Spice: Ken Wilber

Transcendence restores humor. Spirit restores humor. Suddenly smiling returns. Too many representatives of too many movements -- even many very good movements, such as feminism, environmentalism, meditation, spiritual studies -- seem to lack humor altogether. In other words, they lack lightness, they lack a distance from themselves, a distance from the ego and its grim game of forcing others to conform to its contours. There is self-transcending humor, or there is the game of egoic power. ...We have chosen egoic power and politically correct thought police; grim Victorian reformers pretending to protect civil rights; messianic new paradigm thinkers who are going to save the planet and heal the world. They should all trade two pounds of ego for one ounce of laughter.

One Taste

Everything in the dream is basically fun, at some deep level, except for this: when you see your friends suffering...you want to relieve their suffering, you want them to wake up too. Watching them suffer is not fun. And so a deep and powerful compassion arises in the heart of the awakened ones, and they seek, above all else, to awaken others....
