Clown healing traditions

Clown in its ancient history also crosses in many ways with healing traditions....in the very old civilizations, golden age civilizations, there was a much deeper understanding of the unification of science, art, philosophy, religion, medicine, mathematics....they were not separate disciplines...a true edict was able to mesh the sacred arts, the sacred sciences into one working principle...so that space, architecture, atmosphere, rhythm, music, timing, emotion, emergence of emotion, spirit of being..all things were embedded in all aspects of the physical...and this unlocked the sense of one's metaphysical relationship with the greater universe. We are the substance of the universe....not just abstract thought machines. In our present day, we are not in this kind of conscious awareness, we are far more obsessed with material things, superficial gain and so on..."i do and so I expect a return on my investment," etc...this potlatching corrupts in many ways the elegance of our simplicity. And perhaps more than ever, we crave Clown. We "get" it deep down in our deeper sense of self...and it is marvelous to encounter, to connect, to be in the flow of our natural non-linear tendency....and of course, laughter is potent on so many levels. And it is also worth considering that there are many many different kinds of laughter. But laughter is not the only path to self discovery.
