Energy and funniness
We want the pure energy of spirit, but it would burn us up. We have to evolve through funny, which limits the energy to what we can handle.The funny path is both an aid and a limitation. It increases the energy over the old serious state, and it limits it to the funny realm. We follow a middle way.
The higher the energy, the stronger our religious discipline must be, to maintain our commitment to funniness.
Our middle way is an optimum path between the serious side of too little energy and the dangerous side of too much energy. We need brakes as well as boost. We have to maintain a balance. Funny is truly the highest for us at our stage of development.

Taking mbf seriously is OK
Taking mbf seriously is OK. Taking it as a joke OK. We can have it both ways. The true believer act is the same in either case, and if we believe it we don't have to act. We are also passionate and saved. The world will laugh at such naive believers, pursuing a delusion. So it's funny from the start.The true believers may conflict with those who treat it as a joke, who cynically exploit the religion. Yet they play the same part, practice the same behavior. Their dialog will generate deep lessons.

Mbf as obvious
After a while, must be funny is proved so many ways that it simplifies down to obvious. All those arguments lead to seriousness, so good riddance. Mbf as obvious is something even the last can learn.Funny is as funny does. Never explain. They'll figure it out. It's not a teaching but a doing.

If it worked I'd have to break it
I'm creating a funny story first, rather than a workable system. Unknown infant systems can't be expected to work, so failing funnily is what to aim for.In fact, if I had a system that worked I'd have to break it, or serious world would do it for me. It's not only OK but required to go ahead with an incoherent system that nobody believes in. I'm under no pressure to make it correct, only funny.
