humor, spiritually based comedy
[email protected]
This is an online newsletter from Swami Beyondananda, one of my favorite ever
comedians. But this comedy has turned more serious, and that's not a bad
thing. If you're curious and want to read things more in color on a prettier
website, look here:

I have four tapes of his and a book. It's fun and profound all at once.
Dear Friends:
Happy New Year! And not a moment too soon ... Yes, 2002 was a
pretty heavy year for many folks, and let's face it. A couple of
heavy years in a row, and you're bound to gain weightiness. That is
why we invite you to start the new year off by becoming a charter
member of the Laughmore Society, to help you overcome gravity by
taking a vow of levity. Yes, these are serious times. And serious
times call for serious laughter. Why?
. Laughter actually and literally heals by releasing toxins and
unwanted memories from our cells.
. Laughter releases emotion, and paves the way for clarity and
forgiveness.
. Laughter is a political act; it helps us overcome our irony
deficiency and political powerlessness, and encourages us to handle
the underlying imbalance instead of fussing about the symptoms. Or,
as Swami would say, "Here is my simple alternative to the war on
drugs: Improve Reality!"
. Laughter is a learning tool. It exposes the foolish nonsense we
have been tricked into believing, and opens the mind to new
possibilities.
. Laughter helps heal the spirit. It opens the clown chakra to
remind us that indeed we are all cosmic comic clowns under the same
Big Top. Find out more about how you can join us ..

Michael Mears, writer, producer (Sesame Street, the WiseZenHeimers)
and Steve (Swami Beyondananda) Bhaerman have "joined farces" to
empower you to create farce fields of your own, and in so doing raise
the laugh force -- and overall happiness -- on planet Earth. Can we
actually use laughter to heal the planet? Well, we can at least have
some fun finding out.
As members of the Laughmore Society, you will receive:
. A handsome certificate of Absurdification, suitable for framing
-- or at least to remind you to "enlighten up."
. A Wake Up Laughing laughter tape to play any time you need a
reminder that there is indeed a laugh track out there.
. The official Laughmore Society button with the motto, "Overcome
With Laughter."
. Specials and discounts on books, tapes, CDs and other cosmic
comedy products, including those of the Swami.
. The monthly Wake Up Laughing E-zine, featuring not just funny
stuff, but tips on applying the art of "situational comedy" to just
about any situation.
You get all of this for the laughable sum of $21.95 per year ... tax
deductible, of course. You get to support the cause of transformation
through comedy, and nourish yourself and those around you with healing
laughter. Talk about feeding two birds with one scone!
But wait ... there's more. If you are among the first 1,000 Charter
Members of Laughmore, you will receive Swami's groundbreaking music
and comedy CD, Drive Your Karma, Curb Your Dogma ... a $16 value.
Even if you already own the CD, you can certainly think of someone
who'd love to laugh at Steve and Swami's enlightening humor.

you save, may be your own.
May the FARCE be with you,
Steve Bhaerman
