Esoteric Jokebook
Esoteric Jokebook
In the beginning of SoA we had a humorous idea of an esoteric jokebook, and I thought now why not make it a reality?
So, this thread is for the making of esoteric jokes, that like zen koans can be all the More enlightening and knowledge containing than long texts of esoteric Mysteries. With the countenance of trickstery and a sound laugh we can banish many Devil's and keep ourselves spiritually and psychologically sane.
So I challenge everyone to tell his esoteric jokes he/She knows and develop them also from the knowledge one possesses.
I'll start with a lame one: what did Buddha say to the man who had shit his pants? - It's too Late to cry.
I am especially looking for laconic statements that have some profound wisdom in a few words.

I apologize if this already betrayed good forum ethics, but I only thought that one could here tell even a 11 jokes in line and would not be breaching against the normal course of Civilized debate.
So I'll write a few ones: Why do the brothers of Light always win in the end? - It's because of circumstances.
Why did Odin the Father of Gods ask advice from a woman? - He was desperately in need of a bow and a spear.

Re: Esoteric Jokebook
What do circumstances have anything to do with it?
- Ponder on the Word.
And why do you always say that the brothers of darkness win after all?
- Since the world, hurrying of the material, endlessly, pointlessly, is always heading toward its Doom and Peril. A World without end and the Life Eternal.
