"The benefits of laughing cannot be overly emphasized. A sense of humor is one of the most important gifts that have ever been made to Mankind upon this planet. It was not always the case that Man could share a joke or find humor in a situation or maintain a mirthful attitude toward life. This gift was given in order to lighten the load of care and worry which it was known would descend upon Humanity as The Age of Kali drew towards Its end."
"Those who have made the effort necessary to keep up their good spirits and to maintain a readiness to find humor not only in life's droller moments, but in their own traits and quirks, know that the burdens of existence rest more lightly on their shoulders than on those of the sour, humorless souls who are currently in the majority upon The Earth."
"The British gift of humor, and especially for poking fun at oneself, is a measure of the purest form of mirth now on The Earth. The indication of an evolved sense of humor, and additionally of a soul whose sense of self-worth is well developed, is the ability to 'tell stories on oneself'. All of the great Way-showers and Initiates of the world have had this evolved sense of humor, for it indicates that the lesson of the ego has been learned. Those who take themselves too seriously, who have an over-inflated ego, or who suffer from a lack of self-confidence or self-worth tend to have skimpy senses of humor. Or if they can laugh at all, it tends to be at the misfortunes of another."
"Humor that is directed maliciously at others, practical jokes meant to dismay or anger their victims, and what is called 'biting wit' really have no place in the minds and hearts of evolved souls. But like all the other gifts made to Man, The Forces of Disintegration and Darkness have managed to pervert even this great present of laughter so that it could be used to wound another. The habitual use of wit to bring pain to others is a clear roadblock on The Path to a higher spiritual awareness."
