Your Secret Weapon to Become the Most Enlightened Human in the World

Book 3: The Bridge of Receivings | Chapter 3.5 | 25 November 2020

The previous three chapters collaborate as a holy trinity. Once you recognise that ideas are offerings from the Cosmos and are open to receiving them emotionally, you can start to train your mind to seek the specific ideas that resonate with who you want to be.

Now, intentionally invoking your favourite thoughts to fertilise your reality is liberating, but it's not an invincible forcefield. You can discipline your Gatekeeper all you want, yet when the conflict decides to come, it will come. The External Universe will turn to face you then blast down your Bridge of Receivings so fiercely that it will uproot the ground beneath your chosen focus and everything will tumble off the side. The conflict will always come. The conflict will always win.

It is inevitable. Life has a funny way of flexing authority, of demanding recognition, of proving to us that we are not in control, of reminding us that the fortune we have is just that. Fortune. A gift from the Universe. Removable at any time. "God" owes you nothing, no matter how nice you are.

Thankfully, we do have one infallible secret weapon against this disturbance. And if we prepare our mental skillset to use it on automation, it raises us to the same vibrational level as the Universe itself and therefore impervious to its charge.

And that is amusement.

You will hear scholars of spiritual movements describe enlightenment using a varying collection of terms. Some consider this journey to be one of discomfort or even immense suffering. Janthopoyism wholeheartedly rejects this as a tragically unnecessary viewpoint. True enlightenment is floating down the flow of zero resistance, enjoying the ride of the Universe, in awe that you are allowed to take part whatsoever. If you find yourself emotionally distressed on your pathway, it is because you have mentally veered off the track. If the pursuit of higher spirituality is nothing but turmoil to you, then you are swimming in the wrong direction! Praise these moments, for they are lessons where you can practice sliding yourself back into the stream as quickly as possible. Or simply let go! Either way, it's freaking beautiful and oh-so hilarious.

We appreciate that this is not always so easy. But if you can prioritise your thoughts to test what we say here during intense conflict, you will soon discover amusement as your most effective defence against everything. It is what morphs you into liquid and allows the world to pass through you. Remember that external circumstances cannot cause you to suffer. Only your mind can cause you to suffer. This upset happens when your brain takes Life seriously, and you forget the comical ridiculousness of the reality you find yourself in.

Think about it. You are part of an evolutionary chain without any idea of where it came from or where it is going. You were born as a lump of biological matter made from atoms, each consisting of 99% empty space. External factors out of your control nurtured you to fit into complex ecological, social, economic, and political systems that you only questioned once you were already dependent on them. You wake up every day and perform tasks without knowing why it matters or if it even does. You are on a rock spinning around in space at 1,670 kilometres per hour, lacking any certainty of how vast the Universe is or if the entire experience is a construct of your own mind. You will die without ever acquiring these answers. You may pursue and even find individual meaning, but when you die, it's gone. And what comes after this death is further unknown still. Everyone you've ever met and everyone you haven't will follow this same timeline until the Sun swallows the Earth and the planet burns to dust with no consequence to the bigger picture. And every physical trace of your specific existence will evaporate into nothingness as if it were never there. It's absurd.

For some readers, these revelations are anything but humorous and are instead rather existentially terrifying. If this is the case for you, start by seeking the beauty in the situation. Consider the infinite combination of criteria necessary to summon your exact person into this reality. Your ability to feel overwhelmed by the world is a triumph of evolution. If you're a student of the spiritual, appreciate this miracle that Life has blessed you with. If you're a creature of science, then the sheer coincidental randomness of your ultimate being is unfathomable and should encourage only awe-inspired gratitude. We are an extension of nature evolved to its highest point this far! And expanding with it still! Just to be a member of this frontline universal expansion—and to be aware that you are a part of it—is a glorious position of all-encompassing gorgeousness, balanced within both the negative and positive. The statistical chances of your presence are borderline impossible. Everything is moving so fast and crazy, and you get to see it and be a part of it until, one day, you won't get to see it anymore. But how lucky you are to be invited into the conversation right now! Appreciate, enjoy, and from there, a smile of upper-knowingness should lead to a chuckle without too much trouble.

Life is uncontrollable and unknowable to such a ludicrously limitless degree that to analyse your little conflicts as anything other than hilariously insignificant shows a severe shortage of perception. Instead, accept every receiving with enjoyment. Be honoured that the Universe has displayed enough interest in you to select your uniqueness to solve a problem that will benefit the rest of evolution for eternity. It's testing you! It's teasing you! It's playing a game! And once these disruptions are tickling your funny bone, then congratulations! You have mastered Book 3.

J'oyists!
The name is our name because we honour a Universe that thrives on joy!
It is a high energy vibration that advances rapidly.
It is the emotional key to rectifying conflict by locating the most harmonious path to grow onwards.
It is the correct setting.

Simply put, the Universe is always laughing and always crying, a shifting harmony of emotional drive required for each side to progress.
Whether you tune into the laughter or the tears is your brain's decision.
But if you choose to cry, just know that Universe will laugh at you and then probably slap you around a little bit.
So perhaps you could try laughing with the Universe instead?
