How can you create more joy around you?

Well, ever since I began to explore YouTube, I had one basic goal above all others with regard to internet videos, and that was to find a talking cat.  Could this be one?  If it is, I'd definitely say that it's pretty darn joyous, and you might enjoy it with me.  But it could be a clever prank.  What do you think?

Actually I had a big insight about all of this, this morning.  Do I think the cat really "thinks in English and speaks discursively"?  Of course not.  BUT.  That's not where it's at.  I realized that, as a survival mechanism in the dysfunctional family I grew up in, I've ALWAYS lived in that sweet little dimensional space between belief and gullibility. 

"Belief," in the way I'm using the term, means that you are buying into something because there is some objective standard--perhaps physical evidence or perhaps a value position--offered with the proposition that affords your buy-in.  Gullibility is simply accepting any possible construct, with no critical scan. 

As a little kid, I accepted some unacceptable behaviors on the part of the adults in my life, because there were no alternative models available.  In other words, a certain amount of gullibility was life-sustaining.  And I also knew, from my very earlest self awareness, that the mind can make things fly, that almost anything is possible, and that the most important thing in the world is our self-talk. 

This morning I realized that I was very, very lucky to have been raised in this environment, because as a result, I live in a cognitive world where magic is possible.  I completely and absolutely believe that it's possible that this cat "talks" in some meaningful sense.  Perhaps a Great Soul is sharing the cat's life essence with the cat, and they are playing with us.  Perhaps the couple are projecting so much of themselves onto their cat that the boundaries which would normally keep them from becoming ONE are at times almost not there.  Perhaps the man is just intuiting what the cat thinks and feels.  Maybe the woman's voice is being edited into the video as the voice of the cat.  Perhaps this is all happeing to serve a higher good.  Who knows? 

But I like living in a world where magic can happen, because magic can happen then.
