What really did our Lord Jesus mean by the following?

* Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

* Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

How do we "eat His flesh?"
How do we "drink His blood?"

This must have been demonstrated by the Disciples of Christ, because it is truth that "He dwelleth in them, and they dwelleth in Him."

Jesus meant that insofar as we partake in truth, we partake in the very life of God. To eat His flesh and drink His blood is simply to take in the Truth.

Inappropriate laughter.....isn't that symptomatic of something?

Laughing, Tickling, and the Evolution of Speech and Self

Abstract

Abstract—
Laughter is an instinctive, contagious, stereotyped, unconsciously controlled, social play vocalization that is unusual in solitary settings. Laughter punctuates speech and is not typically humor related, speakers often laugh more often than their audience, and male speakers are the best laugh getters. Laughter evolved from the labored breathing of physical play, with the characteristic "pant-pant" laugh of chimpanzees and derivative "ha-ha" of humans signaling ("ritualizing") its rowdy origin. Laughter reveals that breath control is why humans can speak and chimpanzees cannot. The evolution of bipedality in human ancestors freed the thorax of its support role in quadrupedal locomotion, a critical step in uncoupling breathing from running, providing humans with the flexible breath control necessary for speech and our characteristic laugh. Tickle, an ancient laughter stimulus, is a means of communication between preverbal infants and mothers, and between friends, family, and lovers. Because you cannot tickle yourself, tickle involves a neurological self/nonself discrimination, providing the most primitive social scenario.

or there is always this....

We are not expected to eat the flesh of Yeshua or drink His blood. If you remember in all four gospels Yeshua institues the sacrament of Holy Communion, where He broke bread, blessed it and gave to the Apostles and told them to "take this, this is my body. Then He took a cup gave thanks and passed it to them and said, This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, to be poured out on behalf of man. This is a means of rememberance, of love and gratitude to the man who gave His life, shed His blood for us.
