Does God laugh?

Greetings my friends. I'm grateful for each one of you. Thank you for your comments and questions. I always welcome and enjoy them.


There is a Yiddish proverb that says: "Man plans and God laughs". I think there is a lot of truth to that statement, in more ways than one.


When you juxtapose the recent Icelandic volcano activity with the fear based global warming movement, this proverb can be particularly instructive. While I do not deny that humans have an impact on the Earth's environment and even climate, I think we must keep perspective on the limited power and authority of the natural man. Again, I do not deny the science of man-made impacts on climate. That is not my point here. However, if you believe that the natural man can somehow calibrate climate change then you are fooling yourself. Natural man can hardly predict weekly weather patterns, let alone climate change over millions of years. While it is a worthy goal to create Man/Nature At-One-Ment, we must recognize that for this to be effective we must first be in harmony with our own internal divine nature and create the At-One-Ment within.

But why would God laugh at this situation according to the Yiddish proverb? In our planning efforts to curb greenhouse gases to prevent GLOBAL WARMING we may find as time goes on that we come to regret that decision. WHAT!!??  What do you mean Millennial Mormon??!  I thought greenhouse gases were a bad thing and a pollutant! 

In the future, we may recognize that a few more volcanic eruptions such as the recent one in Iceland would actually create a significant COOLING effect on our climate. This is called: Volcanic Winter and since we can't predict when and how often volcanoes will erupt, we really shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that we can calibrate our climate. In the future, we may look back and realize that our greenhouse gas emissions were a good thing and actually prevented us from experiencing a mini ice-age or worse.  In the mean time, all the fear based global warming hyperbole has actually generated elaborate ideas such as a giant space-based sun-shade.

This is why "man plans and God laughs". Darth Vader said something akin to this when he made this comment about the Death Star: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror that you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the force."

Therefore, we can construct all the technology we want to curb greenhouse gases but until we understand and remember who we are, we may find God laughing at our best laid plans.

Since I have shown that God obviously does laugh, the next question is how loud does He laugh? The answer is that it is usually not loud laughter. There are many layers of symbolism to this so let those who have ears to hear God laughing, let them hear.

If all of this is still not evidence enough for you that God does indeed laugh and you need a further sign, then just imagine God watching me as I try to pronounce the name of the Iceland Volcano:  Eyjafjallajökull.

Say no more.


Peace and blessings to you my friends.  All the best to you in your millennial journey to let go of fear. 
Laugh a little on the way.  But not too loud.
