Gnosis is knowing oneself at the deepest level, which, according to many spiritual teachings, is how to know ‘God.’ This Gnosis is the core of many spiritual practices. Mohammed said, “He who knows his own self, knows ‘God.” Since we are created in’ God’s’ image, to know yourself is to know God. Because God can create miracles, by knowing Who We Are, we may gain the ability to experience and appreciate the miracles all around us.
LaughGnosis is based on the realization that, despite all we know from spiritual teachers and Nobel Laureate quantum physicists about how the world we experience is a reflection of our thoughts and beliefs, we continue living our lives as if their teachings are total gibberish, continuing to be driven by the habitual programs of our sub-conscious mind.
It is also based on the realization that, while usual laughter can reshape thoughts, laughing at God’s Jokes can help eliminate the ego that is responsible for our conditioned thoughts. When hypnosis is added to this, the changes made target the unconscious level of mind, the part of our mind that controls the way we respond to our world.
Laughing gas can be used by medical professionals to help jump-start the laughter, but is not necessary.
The goal of LaughGnosis is to help laugh away our blockages to knowing ourselves at the deepest level, where we can access our inner healer. Once we know ourselves and can access the God that is within us and within everything else, we can only imagine what is possible, and what we imagine becomes possible.
Ordinary laughter and ordinary hypnosis are both highly successful interventions when done alone. When used in conjunction with the principles described in my book, the results can be even better.
LaughGnosis, when combined with medical approaches under the supervision of your doctor can often effectively treat a problem at the deepest root psycho-emotional-spiritual level. When this occurs, not only is the presenting problem effectively corrected on a long-term basis, other problems are corrected as well. In addition, the patient will feel much more peaceful, integrated and Whole as they appreciate their condition as a part of their Hero’s Journey. This will result in a sense of peace, and greater ability to function from within The Zone.
For example, a patient presents with cancer pain. Through some discussion or through hypnosis, it becomes clear they experienced major challenges shortly preceding their diagnosis. They soon realize that their cancer pain is a call to adventure on their Hero’s Journey, as discussed in chapter 14 of my book. After exploring the lessons behind their cancer on the sub-conscious level (while continuing to undergo any necessary medical treatments), not only may the cancer pain resolve, but they may feel more peaceful and whole moving forward.
The sub-conscious mind is the level at which our behavior and physiological responses to challenges can predispose us to disease. Until the core responses are reframed and changed at this level, dramatic improvement may be difficult to achieve.
People can spend hundreds of dollars on their spiritual development. Yet, even if they totally understood all these teachings, it may have very little effect on the person’s behavior, because most outer teachings tend to work on the conscious level.
Within a few sessions of LaughGnosis, this can be changed, not only at the conscious level, but also at the sub-conscious level, where it may have a profound impact. The higher consciousness perceptions can impact the way we bring up our children and how those children bring up their children, for generations to come. It can also have a huge impact on everyone around us, and those around them, etc., to create a waterfall of Powerful Conscious Laughter.
Practicing LaughGnosis on others as a LaughGnosis practitioner can have an even more profound impact on the practitioner, because what we teach, we learn.
