The Secret is Laughter

The Master (2012) - "The Secret"

…..you fail to understand History 

(or Humanity) in addition

Master : 

Are You Unpredictable?

Dog : ……

......(*fart) [starts sniggering]

Master : Silly. 

(audibly smiling) Silly Animal.

Dog : (giggling) 

I couldn't help it(!)

Master : (grinning) 

Dirty Animal.

Dog : (struggling 

to calm down) 

Sorry.....

Master : (making it up as he goes along)

It's GOOD to Laugh during Processing -- 

Sometimes we forget, even if 

it is The Sound of An Animal.

Master :

That's enough. That's enough now. 

You're gonna make me red all over. 

Thank you. 

Thank you. 

Book II... is about Man. 

And the title of the book 

is ‘The Split Saber’. 

And here we have 

some Answers. 

No more secrets.

 The source of all Creation, 

Good and Evil, and 

the source of All... 

...now, funny enough, 

the source of All... 

...is you. 

I have unlocked and discovered 

A Secret to Living in 

these bodies that we hold. 

And, oh yes,

 it's very, very, 

VERY, VERY SERIOUS --

The Secret... 

...is Laughter. 

Now, I'd like to discuss processing and 

communication. The art of 

Listening, if you will. 

Bill. Hello. - How are you? - Fine, thank you. - You came from New York? - New York City, yes. 

So, what do you think of the book? 

What do you think about it? 

I think it stinks. 

If it were up to me I'd chop this thing down 

to a three-page pamphlet and 

hand it to people before they got on the subway. 

But I edited most of his earlier work. 

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Outside?

Let me say this, the man is a Grade-A Mystic. 

A true, original mystic of the highest order. But his work is garbled and twisted, and let me tell you... What... What is this?

Helen :

Hello.

Master :

Helen. - Author. - Please. - I've been reading the new book. - What do you think? I think it's wonderful. - Wait till you get to the good parts. - Oh, yes. Well, as I've begun, I did notice on page 13 there's a change. You've changed the processing-platform question. Now it says, "Can you imagine...?" Yes. Yes. If our previous method was to induce memory by asking, "Can you recall," doesn't it then change everything if now we say, "Can you imagine?" We are invoking a new, wider range to account for the new data. "Can you imagine," allows for a more creative pathway to the mind. More open. - But if the new... - What do you want?! Helen. This is the new work.
