"Laughter and humor are phenomena which, in order to be understood, must be looked at and evaluated from numerous, interrelated perspectives."

Dr. Raymond A. Moody, Jr. was born on June 30, 1944. he taught philosophy at East Carolina University and conducted humor workshops throughout the country.

In this book, the author traces the history of humor from the Biblical advice of "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," to modern examples of how laughter and humor have been shown to heal the body. Moody also shows how medicine relies too heavily on the technical science of medicine and overlooks our God-given ability to aid the healing process through the use of a good sense of humor.

The contents include:

A Doctor Looks at Laughter
Healing By Humor: Some Examples
Humor and Health: The History of an Idea

The Pathology of Laughter: Occupational and Iatrogenic Causes

• Healing Power of Humor, The

	...He who laughs does not believe in what he laughs at, but neither

does he hate it.  Therefore, laughing at evil means not preparing oneself to

combat it, and laughing at good means denying the power through which good is

self-propagating.

"I think the sky is blue because it's a shift from black through purple

to blue, and it has to do with where the light is.  You know, the

farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of color of light

into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from

the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing

off this earth, uh, the darker it gets ... I think if you look at the

color scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on

out, it's the shifting of color.  We mentioned before about the stars

singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colors."
