Does The Universe Have A Sense Of Humour?

[Lisa McGregor]

Have you noticed that when intentions / desires manifest they often come in a way that makes you grin / laugh out loud. Does the universe have a sense of humour?

I tend to describe my spiritual work as learning to "get the punchline" of life.

LM,

If your manifestations make your joyous, you are closest to your true source of creation. When you are aligned with your creative power, nothing is ever hard or struggle, it just happens and you smile because you know you are in alignment with what you are.

Manifestation is easy when you are that manifestation.

Wow! A grin, a chuckle and sometimes a good old belly laugh along with the Universe is one great experience. Max is right, it causes me to feel lined up with the Universe and very close to my Spiritual Source. Sometimes, all I'm able to do is smile and I go round smiling like a nitwit all day!!

Thats really inspiritational Ree, and a great thing to keep in mind. Thanks.

...I was channel flipping a few days ago; one health channel had a segment about two girls who shared the same body (Siamese, I guess you could say). Two channels over was a lady with only a torso; no body below the waist. I did not find it funny, of course, simply interesting. Sometimes reality is too much of something; and at times too little. We exist for God's (whatever God means to you) pleasure; laughter is part of that. Does God have a sense of humor....I think so

[Ree]

Here's a true story that happened to me and I saw it as evidence of the Universe's sense of humor. I routinely walk in my neigborhood most mornings. It's a tree-lined walking path and I like to stick to the shadiest areas when it's as hot as it's been here lately.

I was feeling sort of smug about a situation that I had been dealing with and I was patting myself on the back for being better than some other folks I had come into contact with. As I walked I was thinking over this situation in my mind and as I said, feeling rather smug.

Then I felt something hit lightly on my head and I reached up to see. A bird had pooped on my bare head. Thankfully I wasn't far from a common area that's set aside as a neighborhood garden and I used a garden hose and washed the poop off my head. I felt put in my place completely, but also I couldn't help laughing at myself. And by the way, I always wear a hat when I walk now

ROTFL! Um, I know we just met, but I couldn't help but get this "smug" thought that ran through my head....here it goes....okay, so beings you are now always wearing a hat...that means you don't intend on learning your lesson about being smug....you are just preparing for your next go round of being put in your place.

Lordy, this was too funny, cause I swear that every single dang time I get out of line in THE VERY LEAST WAY....I do get a harsh reality check in one way or the other...I just can't seem to find that way to get away with my crap...dang it!

Thank you for making me laugh today....it blessed me!

[Ree]

Oh, you're welcome! No way can one feel smug with bird poo on one's head. Six or eight years ago I would have gone ballistic and ranted like a madwoman all day had this happened to me. Wearing the hat is my way of saying to the Universe: okay, I'm a little further along on my spiritual quest now. A bird crapping on my head is not really necessary to get my attention

But at the time, and given the smug thoughts going through my head, it was the correct way to deliver the message! I still laugh out loud when I think about it.

[Bradshaw]

Damn right it does. Putting a small boat in front of me in a place i had just passed by at the right time, with inscriptions on it matching precisely what i had been thinking about. Just to show me i'm on the right path. I can't help but laugh and/or smile due to the whole ridiculousness of it. It almost feels like i made those people move the boat from wherever it was just to show it to me.

I guess there's nothing particularly humorous or anything in this, but at the time i just couldn't help laughing.

[Lisa McGregor]

That's really funny Ree, I also laughed out loud when I read your story. I have one as well that just happened today. This morning I observed to myself that my husband hadn't given me roses for a long time. So, I decided to try and manifest some roses and see what would happen. I thought about and wished for beautiful red roses for a couple of hours this morning and then forgot about it. This evening while putting my 9 yr old son to bed, he took a little glass globe that he had won in a tombola stand a couple of weeks ago and gave it to me.

Yup! in the globe was a red artificial rose. What do you make of that. My logical side is trying to find another explanation-he would have probably given it to me anyway. But the timing was spot on.

[Ree]

Awwww! That surely put a huge smile on your face, Lisa. Don't even try to explain it away, just enjoy it. Funny, that little twist that rather than getting a rose from your husband, you got a rose from your son. Shows that we can't plan the how.

[SilvermoonDancer]

Ya know, when the best times that my intentions manifest, is when my kids say something or do something that only the Universe knows I need just at that right moment in time....thank you for sharing that, because it got me to being grateful more than usual for my own moments I have with my kids similar to what you went through with yours.

Kinda off topic here....with the name McGregor and the phrase "spot on" that you used, I am assuming it's pretty safe to assume you are a Scots?! The reason why I say KINDA off topic....is because I am a Buchanan and a couple of months ago, I went to our local Highland Games...and when I was standing and listening to the pipers playing Amazing Grace....I had a fleating whimsical wish to run into more Scots...as I have known my heritage for a long time, but that need to connect with my heritage gets stronger as the years go by.

I actually joined a band and learned how to play the pipes, just to get some connection to my heritage...so when I saw your last name, I got all excited.

Ok...done.

Because we surf heaps my friends and I are really interested in the weather. It always makes my friends and I laugh how certain and confident humans are in regard to the beginning of the universe, so many billions of years ago and so many zillion miles away. Yet despite that, and with every gizmo under the sun, if they could just get tomorrow's weather right, on this planet, with the same accuracy and certainty.

'Well, the rain didn't eventuate today, it was actually the hottest, driest day of the year. Now, moving on to tomorrow's weather...'

I think it's really exciting that you've learned to play the pipes.Was it difficult? By the way, I know someone in Cape Town who is also a Buchanan. Have a wonderful weekend.

Uplift, I never thought of it in exactly that way, but it's very true! Can't you just hear the Universe having a good laugh as the very learned among us explain its existence? As for predicting the weather, I'm actually glad forecasters aren't always accurate. I think it takes some of the fun out of it when you take away the surprise factor in the weather

Wow, talk about an international marriage! That's so awesome! Yes, it was difficult to learn at the start....for a while, my pipes sounded like a very ill goose...then, the sound of Scotland finally came through miraculously eventually.

I no longer have my pipes, for UNmentionable reasons, but one day I do plan on getting another one...and the kilt and everything, using the tradition tartan....it's a intention to manifest that I so do plan on doing whatever LOA to get all that. Can't wait!

Thank you for the well wishes of a weekend...it's my son's 12th birthday tomorrow...and I am making a chocolate magic hat cake...he's a Harry Potter finatic...it's going to be iced with chocolate frosting and piped stars and moons on it, upside down and a hole cut out, where a stuffed bunny rabit will go and a fudge candy wand will top it off...I love making specialty cakes...so I am gonna have fun!

You and yours have a wonderful weekend too!

That's exactly it...to be honest, I wonder how the Universe deals with humans that try to replace It and play It's role in life, by doing things that are just not their business to do...just to fall in a heap of ethical or logical messes and mistakes...just to find out that they aren't as smart as the Universe and should leave well enough alone.

I think the Universe, by design, made it impossible on purpose, for humans to crack it's code, just to keep us all humble and constantly searching for truth, knowledge and wisdom...I love it this way...as I wouldn't want to wake up one morning and know it all...cause, for me that would be dull, boring, unsatisfying, etc...as I am a adventurous wild child that love to explore and I just get so much joy when I learn new things.
