The Game played here is like the gossamer that floats along in the subtle autumn breeze unseen by most.
Often in these realms of curiosity an ingrained logic pulls a flash light from a pocket of deceptions to point a spotlight into the ethereal realm,... the doors of perception close and locks are turned.
You see, the natural ability of the eye to adapt to the twilight is shuttered by tools used only among those still unable to see naturally into the seen and unseen fabric of space and time.
The Cosmic "I" however, has the keys to the sublime.
Lingering in the mindspace often, or long enough allows your conscious "I" to individually adjust to the now you see it, now you don't thought process that evades the automaton "I ". Suddenly, or subtley, a seeming needle pricks an awareness blockage and you get the point. The thought energy released from the blockage becomes channeled along the insight meridian. Focus adapts to the environment and vision clears.
Here is the game where the user interface device is unplugged, and the data that was programed into the processing game logic to produce a simulated video gets consciously turned off. The virtual reality headset is shed as an emerging mindset gains space and freedom from the device -ive images. Reality is newly explored, expanded, emancipated, ameliorated.
These gossamer threads simply consist of sharing glimpses into worlds, pieces of consciousness presented the way a spring rain enters the day. No forceful winds stirring up the landscape but maybe some mild gales of laughter, amusement, or moments of pause. Just subtle breezes blowing the cobwebs away from the ancient wisdom, unscrolling the past or the present future.
Play with the world. Play this game of life maybe to win, sure, but play mostly to gain the required experience. The material world can monopolize our time in pursuit of money at the expense of acquiring a wealth of experience, knowledge, wisdom, relationship. Or it could cause a moral bankruptcy if a person or groups loses sight of what is valuable. Money is a valuable tool. Knowledge is a valuable tool. Experience is the training, the tooling of reality. Wisdom is the wealth. Health, relationships, love flourish in the wealth of the wise.
The premise of this thread weaving platform is that life is a game and reality is a puzzle. To become good player, become skilled at a game, one generally understands the need for practice, to play often. To win -Love the game, play with all your heart.
See everything as part of the game. Practice pondering, practice seeing, practice listening, then discerning, and above all practice patience. Let out that big breath, the explosive sigh, ..and wait for the next piece. Wait, but don't stop looking. Patience is an active position. A passive wait is lazy. Awareness evolves from active alertness.
It will happen. It has to happen.
The pieces will start to come together on their own. Slowly, then repeatedly, then instantaneously.
Play, practice, build the muscle and evolve the experiences that come only from authentic engagement.
Notice that people don't say... "hey what are you experiencing tonight on tv, did you engage with super bowl last night, oh you should go experience this movie. NO, we say the word watch. As in, watching the game from the stadium seats, the theater rows, or hand held devices. Watching is passive not active engagement.
When we "watch" some senses participate but do not fully engaged. We may use our eyes and ears. But when the judges of the cooking show are tasting the dish, we don't taste it. We just take their word as a judgement on reality. And then maybe we buy it neatly processed and packaged for consumption and swallow it without reading the ingredients.
Food for thought.
When the quarterback gets sacked we don't feel it, we don't have the experience of that pain, we watch the player experience it. Or sometimes we watch an actor in a movie role acting out the experience of pain. But curiously we sometimes allow this watcher in us to have the emotional participation. A fan is not necessarily a fan-atic. When the fan-tasy remains discernable why not enjoy the entertainment with friends and have fun.
Experience can be uniquely felt through relationships. Maybe we're watching our loved one, children or close relation playing on a field. The experience could seep in through this close bond of connection. Watching a loved one succeed or fall, delight in joy or suffer pain, is a unique experience of the game.
And, sitting on the sidelines unable to play the game for someone else, yes, that is an internal and sublime playing of the game.
These are some of the subtle, gossamer realms that words struggle to expose.
In the material world when we begin work on a puzzle we generally have a box showing the picture as a guide. In the material world that box can also be understood as institutional schooling, doctrines, the daily news cast of events. Get the picture...
In the non-material unseen reality there is the Light, there is air, sound, smells, tastes, a rhythm of sleeping and waking, a heartbeat, a sigh, a why?
The unseen and seen of seed and flower, imagine and create slowly form an outline, a table of contents, a frame of the puzzle pieced together.
The zone, in the flow, the Field...This is where inception begins and deception "falls" away with the bad apples of Eden. -tgt
In the non-material there are no weapons, only the tools we cultivate for our Self. There are no enemies, only mirrored reflections to do battle with. No food, only hunger to stimulate thoughts of nourishment.
There are unseen and unknown forces. There are not law-yers or rule-ers on or in this Field, only guides and guardians and thresholds.
The unseen is outside the box, away from the daily streaming realities. The unseen in-sight monitors the current reflections for hints on how to piece together the big picture, and thus create the world we want to see. As opposed to Hollywood creating for us what to watch.
The picture on the puzzle is a living changing reflection of what we are building with the tools we have acquired.
The Great Work is our life long individual experience of the Field. The Game is in the Field.
Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a Field. I'll meet you there.
