The Game
Game for want of a better word. Maybe role would be better. Everything that isn't Source is the game. Even saying Source is part of the game, role playing. I'm on SF because I'm spiritual game. My personality, game, My life, game. I like to "escape" the game for a while and go "just" be source. But come back to the game and play roles. Even when I think I'm not playing any role I am really. Pretending there is no role.
For the past few years I've been playing the I've figured something more out about this "reality" game. Anyway, these are my ponderings for today. And felt the need to share. Luckily I don't inflict these ponderings on others most of the time. But I've got more time on my hands atm, so it's leaked a bit :biggrin: |
Life is a game - play it.

Are there rules to this game? Are there winners and losers? What, if any, are the stakes you are playing for? Can one cheat at this game? Do we have to take turns? Is there a roll of the dice involved? Is the sky blue in this game and if so why?:tongue: |
This ''game'' sucks because it has no magic, wizards, elves, dragons, orcs, goblins, and demons in it.

I suppose if we talk in terms of role plays J.B. it’s whether or not one see’s a life experience had as holding any real weight . Peeps use the the movie character or the dream character as a self reference in a way where the experience isn’t true or real but alas to say there is no comparisons had for the real slim shady to step forward . In the movie role there is a real person behind the scenes so where is the real person behind the scenes of a real life Jesus or a real life John Doe lol . There isn’t, so the actual premise of the actor is flawed . What is the comparison for life experience had beyond the game? Again there isn’t, so the game premise is also flawed . For some reason peeps seem to want to distance what they are within identity from what they are and yet there is no life experience had of what you are without an identity of a sort .. So this leads a peep who is not real to start with coming up with analogies to describe that peeps life experience . It is the blind leading the blind making out that such analogies are to be in someway truthful . x daz x |
I do like games, tell me more: Hopefully this will be explored if the thread develops.
Are there rules to this game? I don't think so. More pondering needed though. Are there winners and losers? I don't think so, no. What, if any, are the stakes you are playing for? No winners or losers. Can one cheat at this game? No Do we have to take turns? No, it's a free for all. Is there a roll of the dice involved? I don't think so. Is the sky blue in this game and if so why? A colour needed to be chosen, it's as good as any other. All these answers I've chosen could change tomorrow :smile: What are you answers to these questions? |

We've invented computer games in this reality for all that. So think yourself lucky! :biggrin: Plus we have our imagination. |

The wonderful thing about videogames is the simple fact that we can quit anytime we want without any issues. But quitting THIS ''game'' seems pretty much impossible without hanging yourself :confused: Reminds me more of involuntary gladiator battles if you ask me. |
"I suppose if we talk in terms of role plays J.B. it’s whether or not one see’s a life experience had as holding any real weight" Yeah, what is it all for. Does the Source need to keep creating or it ceases to exist.
"In the movie role there is a real person behind the scenes so where is the real person behind the scenes of a real life Jesus or a real life John Doe lol." There isn’t, so the actual premise of the actor is flawed." I'm getting a headache. "What is the comparison for life experience had beyond the game?" Again there isn’t, so the game premise is also flawed." It's getting worse. "For some reason peeps seem to want to distance what they are within identity from what they are and yet there is no life experience had of what you are without an identity of a sort" All is one are you saying? "So this leads a peep who is not real to start with coming up with analogies to describe that peeps life experience." Me? "It is the blind leading the blind making out that such analogies are to be in someway truthful." I may be blind Daz, and just not realise. |
Hopefully you can figure out quotes and my answers. Sorry if it's not very clear.

The quit part is death, whether natural or not I'd say. Who would want to live forever with the same personality. |
Quote:
The former sounds agreeable to an extent, but I'm having some doubts about the latter :icon_pale: |
Quote:
That is a good analogy. |
Gladiator battles not fun then?
|
Quote:
Maybe only if you were a cold, uncaring and unsympathetic spectator. As for the gladiator themselves, not so much. |
Lots of people seem to enjoy playing battle and war games. Maybe this world is an extention of that.

Quote:
Is it truly involuntary though? It seems to me that not everybody has participated. At least one that I can think of denounced violence and was willing to die before fighting back. |

Hmmmmm....I'll ask the questions around here. Are there rules to this game? Yes, I think there are, they come in the form of equations. If you violate them or overplay your hand you can be ejected from the game, unless we decide we like the result and go along with it. Fortunately, if you are ejected, there is always another game to join. Are there winners and losers? No, only winners and whiners.:rolleyes: What, if any, are the stakes you are playing for? Don't really know, and yet I am afraid to lose. Can one cheat at this game? You are only cheating yourself young lady. :glasses8: Do we have to take turns? I think so, but the game moves so fast it seems like we are all playing at once. Is there a roll of the dice involved? IDK, I think so, but I suspect it is might be within the rules to weight the dice a bit on your turn. Is the sky blue in this game and if so why? That is up to each player to decide. |

Haven't we all agreed it's blue though? |

Oh yes, very good. That reminds me of a time when my son was younger, he's colour blind. We were sorting all the crayons out. I think we could agree on blocks of colour, but not the thin strips of coloured crayons. There are different degrees of it. Some can only see greys/black/whites I think. No working as an electrician, train driver or pilot though. |

If Jesus for example was simply a character role just like Robin Hood was, then there is no place for Robert Powell and Errol Flynn but there indeed was … So it’s pretty straightforward really, if we are just actors playing out roles then who is the real actor that isn’t playing a role . If there are only character roles then the premise is flawed because there has to be the opposite of that . You can’t simply have a character role without the real actor being present also . This is why the analogy falls short and is flawed because there is no real self comparison had that portrays the real actor present . Same goes for the dream character analogy . Do you understand that you can’t just have the character role or the dream character present without there also being the opposite comparisons present as a contrast? Same goes for the game of life .. what is the game of life’s comparison as a contrast? Where is life lived that isn’t a game? You can't just have one without the other . x daz x |
Quote:
Well oneness plays it's part because you can't prise apart what you are from the person you are and all that entails . You can't therefore say the personality and the appearance is one thing and what you are that is beyond the personality and the appearance is another lol . So yes, oneness is key here, but essentially you can't separate what you are from what you are . x daz x |
Quote:
Why can't the Other/God/Source create/use the actors? Why does there have to be an opposite? "Where is life lived that isn’t a game" I don't think it's lived, it just is. There's no movement or creating. |
Quote:
Your separating and dividing the Source energy for use of a better word and the actors . Oneness is oneness, Source, is Source, what you are is what you are . There isn’t one thing and another . You can’t prise apart Source energy from the appearance of a character role .. There has to be an opposite in order for there to be something or other . You can’t have male without a female comparison . You can’t have a tall person without a short . If everything was the same in regards to statements made there wouldn’t be the statements made .. This is why you can’t just have a character role without it’s opposite . x daz x |

Have you heard of Synesthesia. "In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme–color synesthesia or color–graphemic synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored." Reminds us that color is in the mind, not the eyes.... still, no cones no/less color.?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia |

A game with many rules and harsh consequences for breaking them. Unless you're really that good at playing. :cool: |
Quote:
I didn't know the name of it. But vaguely remember hearing about it before. It boggles my mind. |
Quote:
Could you have something and the opposite being nothing. Probably not. |
Quote:
What about form and formlessness? Formlessness underlies all form. If people talk about male/female or tall/short then they are comparing different aspects of form. Form cannot exist without formlessness. Formlessness can exist without form. Peace |

I interpret Jesus' statement "In my Father's house there are many mansions" to mean that there are many (kinds of) games, each with their own 'fields' (or 'courts') to choose from. Jesus was a MAJOR 'game'-maker, his 'game' being open to and joinable by anyone/everyone present. The full quote in the foregoing regard is: "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." (John 14:2-3) Quote:

"Analogous to the way it takes many years of ‘schooling’ wherein initially ignorant and unskilled novices are tasked with learning and given the opportunity to master increasingly complex ‘lessons’ and thereby, upon ‘passing’ greater adeptitude-demanding ‘tests’, progress through a series of ‘grade’ levels to the point where they finally ‘graduate’ from vocational training programs and schools of knowledge, [in this 'game'] it takes numerous physical lifetimes for ‘young’ souls to become masterfully adept at deploying their ‘inner’ Love and Joy ‘program’ in relation to Life and others in it in the context of the infinite psychospiritual possibility containing ‘stream’ of sometimes mind-n-spirit sparking opportunities and sometimes mind-n-spirit daunting challenges that are encountered in the course of living in a matrixially multi-layered, complexly interwoven physiosocial [game-]system such as ours.

P.S. My best guess is that those (there seems to be many such in Hindu and Buddhist circles) who simply play the 'game' of getting off of what they regard to just be am endlessly round-and-round turning Wheel (think hamster cage wheel!) of Life and who think/feel/and/believe that they can't/don't have a potentially eternally self-sustaining soul will at best just manage to dissolve their 'i'dentities and not incarnate again, such that they end up being 'nothing' (or nothingness), possibly forever!, thereafter. They way I see it (I am only imagining possibilities here!) IMO such as them don't/won't] grow and develop a greater and greater capacity to experience and express Love and Joy in relation to and with others and Life Itself because they (at most) act 'lovingly' as a duty, not as a function of heartfelt desire and intention. Many such speak of and recommend emotional detachment and relational dissociation as well as self-abnegation and extinguishing self as desirable 'game' 'goals', for example.
My logic is that one can't 'reap' what one does not 'sow'. I could just be myopically not seeing, i.e. not 'sensing' (:wink: to GS), something resembling what I think of as soul development in their cases, however. Conceivably, such as them may 'switch' games enroute as a result of becoming aware of the kinds of soul-development possibilities I speak of. [Here's a 'definition' for anyone wanting one: one's 'soul' is the living gestalt of one's personal mind-and-spirit 'constellation' - I refer interested readers to my treatise to anyone who wishes to consider and contemplate what I have presented here 'in short' in greater detail .] |

Excellent observation. I resonate with what you have shared. Although, in human form I do think that discrimination has a spiritual significance, although not at the expense of having a fragmented perspective. Humanity is like and ocean wave crashing on the shore, with each generation being a new wave, The human race, seemingly divided, is actually very cohesive. Some may look at it as a "game," but I view it as a dance, a rhythm in each generation and we all contribute to the tune of that rhythm. It is inextricably one thing that is happening, a rhythm, a dance and not a game, in my opinion. And there are some who dance to the beat of a different drummer, they may be ahead of the curve, nonetheless they are still cohesive with the one, as we all are. There are no individual roles, for what some may call "better" or "worst" we all contribute to each other, as we are all connected in ways unfathomable. |
