This is one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen. I came upon it from a great thread here on the nexus, which referenced another classic vid 'Boddhisatva on metro' - showing infectious laughter beginning with one person taking over an entire crowded Paris metro car full of grumpy, suspicious or just plain indifferent riders.
I've only achieved this state of laughter on psychedelics (acid/shrooms). And DMT, I do not recall it however my friends said I was laughing maniacally and they had never heard me laugh that way before. I believe this was my close-to-breakthrough experience.
I know EXACTLY where this guy is coming from, anyone else? Have you ever experienced this type of infectious laughter?
IMO This type laughter is pure joy, it is healing, all-encompassing, and somehow, I feel, the most important thing in the world.
Imagine the most anxious, tensed-up situation you can think of, your boss condescendingly talking to you about a TPS report that was screwed up, a confrontation with a business partner over a few % of profits, an argument with a friend over an egotistic issue, an anxiety-ridden fight with a loved one over some emotional issue... and then imagine, in the middle of all the emotionally charged "serious stuff" you could summon a crescendo of TRUE, joyous belly laughter, until you had tears in your eyes... I ask, would the situations still seem so "serious" ... would the tension still be there... would your heart still palpitate with a vice grip around it?
Sending out Love and positive Vibes to all my Nexians on the Path.... <3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughter_YogaAnd yes, I have felt that infectious rippling laughter that just shakes and moves you from the inside. You laugh so hard you no longer have any idea what started it. It's sort of like the universe is laughing through you.  Images of broken light,
Which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on...

Laughter is a strange thing. When you really get going you're not even thinking anymore. You sometimes don't know what you're laughing about. It's arguably one of the most pure human emotions/experiences. You're just laughing - nothing else factors into your thinking! I'd love to see a brian in laughter through an MRI scan. That guy Dennis' laugh was a bit crazy though, haha! It got comically uncomfortable when they zoomed out and showed the whole crowd just watching. Glad to see many were smiling though.

DMTripper is a fictional character therefore everything he says here must be fiction.

I lol'd at that one ManifestTheMind posted, but not nearly as dramatic as the people in the video haha. I have no idea how they all had such extreme reactions lol [center]Sophia's Light
In darkest night, when lights are dim, and all in sight seems sad and grim,
I find you there, your arms surround me, your spirit fills me and it grounds me.
I look to you, Lady of Truth, most ancient One, yet eternal youth,to keep me safe, protect my heart,and with the wisdom you impart, fill up my empty mind and soul,so that, my Lover, you can make whole, all that was broken in this day –and that is what I ask and pray.
