Re: [ET2] Laughing Eventfully

Dear Blaine,
I felt the same way that you described here the first time I read through
the book and I got stuck on the same thought, (LOL!). I just didn't get it.
Yet, as I read the passage again, this story is simply a "clue" about how to
have events in an events starved society. We are all busy, overwhelmed,
moving at rapid paces that we don't see the possibility of events right in
front of us (especially those that make us laugh) until an event happens to
us (or at least to me!). "Paying attention" gives the ability to "open a
tunnel of connection" for whatever we are giving our attention to... I can
just visualize how that tunnel lights up my energy matrix. Remember, "the
most important events of a person's life are the events that have NOT
happened yet." How exciting! For me, instead of letting life happen and be
subject to events, I can "pay attention" and enter into them thus giving me
the ability to have more events, open up my events, remove any problems and
learn the life lessons there; creating a vibrant events matrix. You being
quick to laughter and bringing to light this question are already steps
along the way. "Paying attention" to life is something you already do.

Smiling, wondering, unsure, skipping along the way, Terry

I don't know where else to post a question on Events Psychology so I'll toss
it out to all of you.

I've been reading the book and I thought I was catching on until I got to
the story about Silvia having a good laugh from seeing a bird with its head
stuck in a bag, and she referred to that as an event, being open to events.

I must be missing some point in the book because I have no clue what made
that laugh an event or what kind of laugh wouldn't be an event. I laugh a
lot; does that mean I have lots of events or just that I have an active
sense of humor?

I know this one story is a just a small part of the book, but I keep
thinking that if I don't get it, there must be some basic understanding I
missed about what constitutes an event.

wishing you all the best,
Blaine
