Comedy & tragedy work themselves out through history. They dance together in the heart. When tragedy is too insidious, comedy can override it; and overtake the heart instead of lighten it. Then life becomes a big joke, and anger can’t stop laughing.
When tragedy makes people feel inferior, they sometimes use comedy to make themselves feel superior and others seem inferior. Inferiority needs compassion – not mockery.
Aires (violence) splits Eros into comedy & tragedy.
Comedy & tragedy are a treadmill.
Step off them into the music,
The erotic music of Heaven.
Tragedy & comedy are the music of the unconscious soul. Fully self-aware, feeling goes past tragedy & comedy to the music of the soul’s flesh.
Since we experience laughter & tears because of comedy & tragedy, so does God – God being that in whose image we are made, and whose expressions ours are patterned after.
Material existence breaks God’s heart just as it does ours. Before existence - before Creation - there was no comedy & tragedy, no joy & sorrow, no laughter & tears; for they were all unified in the wholeness of love – the wholeness of love our joyful & sorrowful task is to incarnate.
