The 23rd comes in to tell the rest that they still don't know the difference between the socket and a hole in the ground.

John

PS. Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the sushi.

Morning all.

No 24, from the back of the light bulb changing gathering quite suddenly announces that she is not getting a feeling of positive energy about the way the group are being about light bulbs as a whole. She suggests that the group should adopt a different paradigm context of light bulb changing which will create an "empowered context" to the group as a whole. In so doing she explains, the Group will transform their experience and be more present to the possibilities presented by this opportunity and confronting their rackets about light bulb changing.

no 25, confused slightly by no 24's vision asks her to explain and give some actual tangible and practical suggestions on how to bring her vision into reality.

No 24 smiles knowingly and simply says "It is what it is"!

Now LOTS of whooping, cheering, applause, the pack of demented Gibbons goes hog wild at no 24's awesome light bulb revelation.

An ant, sat nearby observes the bizzare scene and notices that the light bulb is in fact simply broken and should be replaced in order to have light from that socket. Scratching his tiny ant head for a moment, he scurries off to his nest to share his observations of these strange and unfathonable creatures.

No 26 (assistant production) to remove the ant ... next act

#27 has been feeling a bit inadequate in his contribution to the effort of changing this one measly light bulb so he bravely stands up and announces that he needs to get clear/complete...or whatever the hell they say when they want to open themselves up to more praise lekkie-style, and he announces that his involvement with his family life and career have seriously hindered his commitment to the work of changing this light bulb, so he has made a choice to break with his identity as a husband, father, and his (paid) employment, and will now fully commit himself to the light bulb changing, as unreasonably as possible. He gets the desired result...the room breaks out into lekkie cheers with several 'you're on fire'! praises showered on #27. #27 becomes 100% certain, he has never felt this alive and free before in his life....

#28 feeling the "fire" of #27 and the Gibbonesque energy throughout the room suggests that everyone take a 20 minute break and everyone go call someone in their life that they need to get complete with. To then share the breakthroughs with the person about how much greater their life is now that they are a Lightbulb Changer. Have an "enrollment conversation" with the person and invite them to the special evening where they to can enroll to become a Lightbulb Changer. #28 says everyone should "take a stand" for the person they are inviting and share with them the "possibilites" of being a Lightbulb Changer and "be unreasonable" in their requests!

On this everyone makes a break for the door cell phones in hand like they are calling 911 for an emergency.....

# 29, is sitting at home minding her own business and suddenly the phone rings. She picks it up and before she can say a word, this babbling, overly enthusiastic voice on the other end declares, "I need to acknowledge you for having being such a fabulous friend to me..."#29 is confused, the person on the ohter end is a co-worker with whom she never says anything more than 'hello' to in the hallways..."I've made a decision to be a stand for transformation by changing light bulbs until the entire planet has been enrolled, and I'd like to invite you to an introduction to a very special light bulb changers get together." #29 is stunned speechless and for a lack of anything else to say, replies, "uh, ok, when is this introduction happening, I wouldn't mind checking it out...?"

#30, to share a possibility with the light bulb that the light bulb changer invented for himself and his life. The light bulb changer shares himself in such a way that the light bulb is left touched, moved, and inspired by the changer having gotten that possibility. The light bulb changer shares himself fully with the light bulb, for it is in the sharing that transformation comes alive.

#31, to recognize that the possibility created by #30 is a victory over the past

You guys are even more cynical than I am. Aheem!

#32 receives a phone-call from a relative. It appears that their entire family has been the subject of a freak accident involving a Giant Light bulb landing on their house. #32 is torn between conflicting light bulb priorities. In the end of course his Landie Light bulb commitment is always more important and chooses to stay with the great debate about how exactly this failed light bulb should be dealt with

In another parallel Universe..........

#32 is part of an LGAT team fixing a rocket motor being used on the new hyperspace capable spaceship. The group works diligently and with purpose without the need for possibilities, rackets, character debates, whats right, whats wrong, whats meaningful (or not), commitments, completions, integrity debates. They just get on and fix the motor.

Clearly, in this Universe, LGAT's and the human race have evolved more rapidly.

depressive realism is a beautiful thing...

#33 will not be outdone by the other light bulb changers...oh no...#33 decides it is time to now venture outside the beautifully rainbowed horizons of landmarkia and find somewhere on earth to do some volunteer work. So #33 goes and does a few hours here, and a few hours there, at volunteering and sharing his powerful enlightenment with the pitiful underlings he was volunteering for, incidentally this volunteer time is above and beyond his volunteer work as a light bulb changing specialist.
Then, #33 proceeds to upload the video of himself doing this noble volunteer work, onto the internet, so he too can join ranks with the other light bulb changers on YOUTUBE. His video receives at least ten hits within the first twenty minutes after posting it...#33 has arrived...#33 is on fire forever...#33's YouTube video receives praise all the way from Grand Cayman....

...I've made myself gag...
