Matthew 18: 3 etc. "I assure you, if you don't turn round and become like children, you'll never get into the kingdom of the skies.  So whoever brings himself down to the level of this child, that's who the greatest in the kingdom of the skies is...."

"concentration without effort" (Tomberg's Meditations on the Tarot, Arcanum I: The Magician)

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him".  Zen Koan.

"Silly" in the 11th Century meant "blessed".

Those who went to see Tomberg in his '60's were often frustrated, because the harder they sought serious discussion, the more he acted the complete buffoon.  In his Mediations on the Tarot (again), the Arcanum The Fool, was also the Arcanum on Love.

Steiner's sculpture, The Representative of Humanity, has a strange figure in the upper left quadrant, "Cosmic Humor".  It seems to be just a face with what appears like giant wings for ears.

living thinking, to experience, is effortless.  since we have gotten our egotism out of the way (through renunciation and love), "it can think in us", and "it" is fluid, spontaneous, and child-like in its dance.  further, "it" wants to have us lead the shared play and dance, so that our freedom is never restrained and always enhanced. "it" is the perfect "dance and play partner"

don't push the river...
