Don’t let the title fool you, I am working toward being a Full Living Master (FLM), but there is still a ways to go on this particular journey for me!
In my quest, however, I realized that I had a certain image in my mind as to what a FLM would look like. I didn’t limit what gender, nationality, size, race, or creed that a FLM would be, but I was limiting his/her countenance. I believed that a FLM would exude wisdom, love, and joy. But, I found myself thinking that the joy would be of the peaceful kind, of the serene kind, not necessarily the passionate or hilarious kind of joy. Why would I believe that a FLM didn’t laugh?
Then the thought came to me – why would anyone want to be a FLM if the position – or more precisely the level of frequency – was so severe and serious that one couldn’t laugh. Did I have a false belief that Source / The All That Is / The Creation Energy doesn’t have a sense of humor or simply doesn’t want to have fun? Maybe I did. But, I don’t any more. Who do we think created humor?
I am reminded of the saying we teach in Standing in the Light®. “It’s not the What, It’s the Why”. Why are we laughing? Is it because we are sharing a funny and joyful experience or because we are making fun of someone else. If our “why” is joy, then we raise our frequency in the laughter. If our “why” is spiteful, then we may want to explore different forms of entertainment.
The tricky type of humor for me is humor that is all about the irony of the situation. If the irony brings to our attention inconsistencies, hypocrisies, or judgments, and sheds light on how these beliefs might be harming ourselves or our world, then the irony is probably doing its job to raise our frequency and allow us to rid ourselves of lower vibratory beliefs. If the irony is simply mean-spirited, we might want to look at whether that is truly moving us forward in our evolution.
I realize that I need to change my beliefs and stop projecting my old beliefs of virtue and righteousness on who or what a FLM is. By eliminating these judgments, I hopefully take one more step closer to that existence, myself.
May We All Feel The Love, Joy, and Laughter of a Full Living Master, always. Namaste.
