The Great Cosmic Joke

|
    "There is one great cosmic joke
    that we have been continually having
    at our own expense through all eternity...

    It is the delusion that we may find happiness,
    contentment, fulfilment or love as a direct
    result of something at large in
    the external Universe of effects.
    Finally, one magical day, the absolute
    truth of causality beckons, that we are
    - and always have been -
    the creators and therefore masters of our own experience.
    At which point, we either laugh or sob outrageously
    both at the incredulity of our ignorance
    and the awesome majesty of our Being"
