* ''Reminiscent jests''. Quips [[growing]] out of the [[memories]] of [[past]] [[episodes]] in one's [[experience]] of combat, [[struggle]], and sometimes [[fearfulness]], and ofttimes foolish and childish [[anxiety]]. To us, this [[phase]] of humor derives from the deep-seated and abiding [[ability]] to draw upon the [[past]] for [[memory]] [[material]] with which [[pleasantly]] to flavor and otherwise lighten the heavy loads of the [[present]].

* ''Current humor''. The senselessness of much that so often causes us serious concern, the [[joy]] at [[discovering]] the unimportance of much of our serious [[personal]] [[anxiety]]. We are most [[appreciative]] of this phase of humor when we are best able to discount the anxieties of the [[present]] in favor of the [[certainties]] of the [[future]].

* ''Prophetic joy''. It will perhaps be [[difficult]] for [[mortals]] to envisage this [[phase]] of humor, but we do get a peculiar [[satisfaction]] out of the [[assurance]] "that all things work together for good"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans.2C_VIII]—for [[spirits]] and [[morontia]]ns as well as for [[mortals]]. This aspect of [[celestial]] humor grows out of our [[faith]] in the [[loving]] overcare of our superiors and in the [[divine]] [[stability]] of our [[Supreme Directors]].
