Hi Bob,

For your information I wrote this almost 10 years ago. I noticed it was included in a condensed version as the Clown Chraka with no name listed as author.

CLOWNS OF GOD MAKE THE BEST TEACHERS OF GOD by ALAN DOLIT

Course Bulletin
Disclaimer: The following is all apocryphal. Don't believe a word of it!

Right after the Course was completed, Jesus requested that a Clown Academy be opened in keeping with the intent and content of the Course material in particular:
Nothing real can be threatened - nothing unreal exists
To heal is to make happy
God's Will for you is perfect happiness
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of joy
The detour into fear began when
the Son of God remembered not to laugh
The world will end in laughter
Heaven is here, there is no other place
Heaven is now, there is no other time
(Have fun here, have fun now)

.....................................................................

The Clown scientists have found that all our problems can be
placed under one heading: Seriousness. Seriousness is the leading
cause of everything from Cancer to Reincarnation. Scientists from
the Clown Academy have already discovered a new source of
healing. It is a psychic energy point located between the heart
chakra and the throat chakra. It is called the clown chakra. If
people are feeling miserable; if they have financial problems; if
their relationship situation is the pits; if they are in ill health; if they
have a need to sue people; if they find fault with their brother; then
obviously their clown chakra is closed. When this happens, the
scientists have observed under a high-powered microscope that
the cells of every organ display a sad face; and when the clown
chakra is open and functioning normally, the cells display a happy face.
The scientists realized that if a person is ill, it is because his mind has projected guilt onto the cells of his body and has forced out the love that is normally found within each cell of the body. The cells are therefore saying, "I Lack Love", or ILL for short. The scientists also discovered that all disease is due to the fact that the cells are "out of ease" or "dis-eased". When the clown chakra is opened and working (or rather, playing) properly, the psychic mechanism sucks up misery, pain, anger, resentment, grievances, unhappiness and so on, and converts the energy into tiny red heart-shaped balloons. The red heart balloons contain God's Love and Joy. These balloons are directed to the "dis-eased" cell or situation, and a happy face appears instantly. When the light enters the darkness, the darkness is gone. Sometimes these red heart balloons are called endorphins, due to the fact that when anyone experiences them the feeling of separation ends - they experience being back home with the Father and hence are no longer an orphan. This is the well known "end orphan" (endorphin) effect.
So if you think someone is attacking you, Clown Scientists recommend that you visualize sending that person red heartshaped balloons filled with God's Love and Joy.
Remember to keep your clown chakra open and remember to laugh. - seriousness causes reincarnation.
