Mankind loves rules and being right and correct, and this is all well and good….so long as it doesn’t harden into smallish, austere and obsessively judgmental  concern to be right in one’s own mind. This applies as much to scientific orthodoxies as it does religious ones. Grace is flowing. It is not being “hung up” on rules, but neither is it some blithe, shallow and facile attitude toward  morals and ethics. Thus it is simultaneously depth of thinking and the ability to resist the vice of obsessive seriousness. It is this “dualistic yet integrated bothness” aspect of Wisdom that enables the thirdness-oneness aspect of Grace to become reality.

The most prevalent category of humor is known as “the reversal” that is a release of laughter as a result of the comparison of the obvious and the absurd or the true and the untrue as in satire. These are the dualistic yet momentarily integrated bothness aspect  of Wisdom, and are universally understood as a healthy experience and personal characteristic. Integrating Loving and laughing and knowing when to employ both or either is a human art, and being a flow, a process, leads to the pinnacle thirdness-oneness experience of Grace.
