Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about [[laughter]] and its [[healing]] effect on the human [[body]]. It has been said that laughter is [[good]] for the heart and good for the [[soul]], and that is a very fine and true [[statement]]. Laughter releases [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphins endorphins] in the [[brain]] that communicate with the [[cells]] of the body that are [[vibrating]] at a less than normal rate, and it acts as a synchronizer to bring those cells into [[harmony]] with the rest of the body. This is similar to two tuning forks of the same [[frequency]], where the first is struck in close proximity to the second, and the second begins to vibrate in [[sympathy]] with the first.
“This effect that [[laughter]] has on the cells also works on the [[mind]] and the [[attitude]] of the [[individual]]. It raises the vibration of the [[persona]] and makes it ‘lighter.’ This is something that is quite measurable. For instance, when someone who is sad, [[dark]], or serious walks into the room with others, they will feel this lower [[vibration]], and this darkened [[personality]] will cause the others to lower their vibration unless there is a very strong and bright [[personality]] in the room which can overcome those lower [[vibrations]].
“You must not take yourselves too seriously my [[friends]], for it is important for your [[mind]], [[body]], and [[soul]] to be ‘[[light]].’ It serves you and others around you well to be in this higher vibratory mode of living. Do you not enjoy a party? What happens when you are in the company of good [[friends]] who are loving life? They [[laugh]] and [[joke]] and lift up your ‘spirits.’ What is happening is that they are raising your [[vibration]] in [[sympathy]] with theirs. So, what kind of friends do you have? If they are constantly bringing you down, perhaps it is time to find new ones, eh?
“How do you [[perceive]] the [[Creator Father]]? Do you think He is this [[solemn]] and stern [[judge]] who barks out commands and is constantly finding [[fault]] in His erring children? Why no, for He is [[perfect]] and of the highest [[vibration]], and there is no [[darkness]] in Him. He is the ‘Bestower’ of [[humor]] in the [[personality]] and he delights when you are [[happy]] and full of [[joy]] and laughter because it brings you into a state that is more ‘like Him.’ So, I have just said that to laugh is to be God-like!
“If you are [[feeling]] ‘under the weather’ today, my [[friends]], you need to laugh. Go and see a funny movie or call a [[good]] friend. Get those slow [[cells]] moving and you will heal much faster than when mulling around with a [[dark]] [[countenance]]. Even if you are uncomfortable, ‘grin and bear it.’ It is better to laugh and hurt than to [[cry]] and hurt. I recommend [[laughter]] [[therapy]] for all of you today.
===Closing===
“Live, Love, Laugh,
“The Circle of Seven.”
===Note===
I wasn’t sure about what ‘endorphins’ were precisely and after I received the message, I looked it up on Wikipedia and this was the [[definition]]:Endorphins ("endogenous morphine") are endogenous opioid peptides that [[function]] as neurotransmitters. They are produced by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituitary_gland pituitary gland] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus hypothalamus] in vertebrates during [[exercise]], excitement, [[pain]], consumption of spicy food, [[love]] and orgasm, and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a [[feeling]] of well-being.
