Introduction

Welcome to a work in progress. More is coming.

So... what is the "Cosmic Joke"?

Well let's see if you can figure it out. There is a clue in the main image. There are many more clues in the writing.

The Butt of the Cosmic Joke is about a really funny realization that will be incredibly powerful when you truly experience it. There are many cosmic jokes, though...

Here are some questions I will answer:

• Why do we have a corporate culture that runs counter to the well being of the average human (a.k.a. the food chain mentality)?
• Why are religions so successful? Enough to die for your beliefs. Why are so many utterly convinced of things that are in opposition to someone elses beliefs?
• Why don’t we learn from history?
• What is ego? How does it affect our society at large?
• What is consciousness? How does consciousness aggregate together to create a culture?
• Why do people do drugs or do seeming harmful things to themselves?
• Why do we see each other as obstacles? This comes out while we are in traffic.
• Why are words flipping their meaning (You’re bad! That’s phat! Shut up! Get out! That’s wicked! You’re sick!)?
• What is the Armageddon mentality (doomsday) and why does it appear so often throughout history? What does it mean to us today?
• How should we respond to wars, politicians, poverty, corruption, racism, and other seeming “bad things” we are seeing in the world?
• What does “we are all one” mean?
• How can a society apply the "law of attraction" or "the secret"?
• And finally - how to fix the game we are playing and unite in a beautifully diverse way. First as an individual, then as a group...

I will answer it all in a really fun way - that and much much more. Once the cosmic joke becomes incredibly obvious, the magic begins.

I should mention that this may be a web site, but think of it as a book on steroids. Click the chapters on the left in order from top to bottom. The content is written to take you on a journey of the mind, heart, and soul. The ultimate goal of the material is to reunite you with the authentic true self. It may be tempting to read individual sections, but you kind of spoil the experience of reading it from start to end as each concept builds on the previous one. And yes, I know it is only about 10% done, but I have still published each section in the order they are in for very deliberate reasons. The graphics, the links - everything I chose very deliberately and I think there is a wonderful theme building.

This is largely written to people who are looking around wondering how to make the world better - how to better themselves and build community. All the passion that is directed towards activism I believe goes to waste when it is not informed by the true heart-centered self. This is an attempt to gently point out where well-being streams from and where to direct all the passion inside yourself and into the most beneficial direction. The grandest of all riddles and the greatest of all brainteasers is here to solve. It is the riddle of yourself and how you fit in the overall picture.

The web affords me many luxuries. One is that I can instantly publish anything I want to say. Another is that I can turn a linear 2-dimensional book into a buffet of links, popups, videos, music, living bibliographies, cross-referenced information, etc. that you couldn't easily get from a book. Lastly, I really do not care about getting my information copyrighted. Plagiarize it I say (though, you don't really get what I am saying if you do - see the title)! Get this to as many people as possible. The main goal is transformation, not control. That is why you will not see a copyright notice in the footer. Love and sharing and connection are easy. They melt through the illusions of control, being right, or playing the game of being better or worse than someone. We are all equals, right? I am attempting to exemplify it.

Everyone has something inside to express. This is what is inside me... watch it unfold!

Oh... and DO NOT push the red button!!
