The Beautiful People

"The thing people forget, I think, about the enlightenment process is how beautiful it is, how incredibly beautiful it is. We're made up of light, it's our substance. . .If you're interested in becoming more conscious, more aware, more beautiful, essentially . . .then there are a series of ways to accomplish that."

-Rama

Something is happening in L.A. Tinsel Town Meditation is advertising meditations for the beautiful people! I have noticed that many of Rama's students laugh, and have wonderful senses of humor.

Rama was an incredibly funny guy. I remember very intense evenings when a person could almost hear the air crackling with kundalini energy. I remember bursts of group laughter generated by Rama's humor. Oh my God, he was funny!

The humor was more than just funny; it helped release some of that intense energy. We were supercharged, and laughter helped us all relax and assimilate the energy and awareness.

As I followed the lines of humor regarding the beautiful people and their Tinsel Town meditations a memory was tapped.

I remembered the beauty of the meditation center that was known as Lakshmi. The experience of a center meeting was truly beautiful-the people, the love, the light! The world sparkled after those meetings, and so did those beings who sat in that light!!

I remember looking around at the smiling faces and shiny beings who left after 4, 5 or 6 hours of meditation. You know, they were beautiful, really, all humor aside.

I know that the students in L.A. were just having fun with words, and pulling in lines of humor.

But I think that there is something here to remember. I can't say it any better than Rama did. "The thing people forget, I think, about the enlightenment process is how beautiful it is, how incredibly beautiful it is. We're made up of light, it's our substance."
