The Nature of the Game

This is an amazing place you live. Look all around you and behold its perfection.

You desired to experience God in a concrete, physical form.  That is why you are here. You have wondered about that, haven't you?

In a way, this is a cosmic peek-a-boo game. Your challenge as a participant is to find and see God -- and God's Beauty and Perfection -- shining out in the most unlikely places.

That was the idea, initially, and many souls leaped at the opportunity. You see, they thought it would be simple. Easy. Because, from where they were at the time, it was and it is. It is, in fact, the most natural thing in the world.

They vastly underestimated the challenge. There are and were so many distractions about, so many new avenues to explore, that they totally forgot the nature of the game they set out to play.

They forgot it was a game in the first place. And it became deadly serious. Deadly and serious. The result is much of what you see about you.

You, too, may have fallen for it. Almost everyone does, at least for a time. It's very convincing, you see. And the deviations from God's Perfect Plan (which occur when souls forget) are so novel and fascinating that they tend to hold your attention, your focus, and to engender a passionate emotional response. A negative one.

Since energy flows where your attention is directed, these anomalies tend to grow in scope and degree.

The trick to counteracting this effect is to step back and remember that this, too, is God: God letting souls learn from their manifestation misjudgments.

And this, too, is a form of perfection. The perfect classroom, so to speak.

You chose to come here, you chose to enter into the game because you wanted to know God better. You wanted to understand more. You wanted to love God more fully.

You didn't expect to learn about hatred, fear, and judgment, but you did. And you are the wiser for it.

Be proud of yourself, for although it may not have taken much courage to start, since you thought it would be easy for you, and fun, it DID take courage and fortitude to see it through.

And if you are here reading this, that is exactly what you did.

Take a moment, also, to recognize and consider that everyone else here did the same thing. Be proud of them, as well.

Now that you more consciously know the name of the game, see if you can play it better.

The more you do, the more you practice, the greater your alignment with the energy of God and your Universe. That's where all the "good stuff" lies.  A simple change in focus is all it takes to make the change.

And it will change everything for you. This is not an overstatement.

We love and bless you this day, and always.

Namaste.
