Sri Baba Marley Jones and The Shaman Shake!
When someone calls you silly, they might be giving you a gift you never knew you needed.
What happens when someone labels you in a way that contradicts your carefully constructed identity? Years ago, when a dear friend called me "silly," it felt like a wound to my serious, accomplished persona. Today, I recognize that moment as a profound gift – an invitation to reclaim the joy I had systematically eliminated from my life in pursuit of being taken seriously.
This deeply personal exploration reveals how our resistance to certain aspects of ourselves – like playfulness, spontaneity, or silliness – can actually block our access to joy. Through poetic metaphors of dancing in storms, climbing trees, and deliberately putting "the left shoe on the right and the right shoe on the left," we discover how disrupting our patterns creates space for authentic self-expression and unexpected delight.
The message becomes especially powerful when we consider the state of our world: "The forces that are all around us are negative in nature. We must find solutions within our individual minds and collective hearts, and silliness sometimes is a good place to start." This isn't about ignoring life's serious challenges but rather about accessing different parts of ourselves to meet them with resilience and creativity.
Whether you've been told you're "too much," "too silly," or any other label that caused you to dim your light, this episode offers a path to reclaiming those rejected parts as gateways to your most authentic expression. What parts of yourself have you hidden away that might actually be your greatest gifts to the world? The gateway to joy might be waiting in the very places you've been afraid to look.
It is time for joy now. Leave your happiness behind, hey, love. Leave it behind. It's a time for pure joy. Silliness abounds. I want to thank a dear, dear soul. Her name is Rula R-U-L-A. Rula is Rula R-U-L-A. Rula.
Speaker 1:Many years ago she called me silly and it wounded me, but what she was giving me was a great gift, because I was trying to create a life that was very serious and accomplished and was not silly at all in my mind. And when she gave me the gift of silliness, she gave me the gift of joy, and I was mad at her when she first gave me this gift. So today I want to thank her very, very, very much. Please forgive me, rura, for not accepting your gift with gratitude and love. Please forgive me. Silly, silly, silly in my belly, silly, silly, silly in my belly, silly, silly, silly in my eyes. Silly, silly ears on my head. Look at those silly, silly flies, fly, flies. Oh, oh, oh, oh oh. The gateway to joy. Ha ha ha. The gateway to joy. Ha ha ha. The gateway to joy, the gateway to joy. Merci beaucoup. This is not to say that the totality of life is silly, because some things are not silly, but it is a time for pure joy, because the forces that are all around us are negative in nature. We must find solutions within our individual minds and collective hearts, and silliness sometimes is a good place to start, thank you.
Speaker 1:Up in the sky, I see the storm. It looks so dark, it's brewing, those dark clouds all rolling on down. What are you gonna start doing? Oh, what do you want to do? I'm gonna open my mouth so wide as the rain falls out of the sky. Gonna suck all that beautiful rain up Into my third eye. I'm gonna spout a spick. Gonna go slickety, slick, gonna be a hose of love. I'm gonna spray everything inside of me and then I'm gonna fly high above. I'm gonna dance over there. I'm gonna climb a tree today. I'm gonna roll down the hill of mud in ecstasy. I'm gonna climb a tree ecstasy. I'm gonna roll in some mud. I'm gonna get dirty down and low I'm gonna make make love.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, I'm going to put on some silly shoes. I'll put the left foot on the right and the right foot on the left. The left shoe on the right and the right shoe on the left. Going to mix it all up. Going to have some fun. Going to fly, fly, fly up into the sun. Oh, she-la-ma-la, he-la-ma-la, ke-la-ma-la, he-la-ma-la-ma, ka-la-ma-la, he. Thank you again. My love for the silliness, the true gift that's inside of me, merci beaucoup.
