The Game

Life is a game and depending on how you play, you win or lose. If you win, you can laugh at the whole thing as if in a play. If you lose, you weep as if you were in a tragedy and you take everything seriously. In a way, it’s a serious game because you are in it, playing for real. Yet. If you can rise above the petty day by day games people play to see what’s being done here, you become the master of your game, and you can choose when and where to play. If you are the master, you play for amusement only. If you are a pawn, then someone else is constantly playing with you at your expense, and you are letting them do it to you. The name of this life game is attention or focus. Where you put your attention is where your life is. This is a non-plus statement
but it must still be said. If you put your attention to worries about what may happen tomorrow, you are making it happen through the law of attraction. You attract what you focus on. Let me explain what I mean by focus. Focus is the concentration of one’s activities so as to make things come clear. The faster you can turn on attention to any one thing that interests you, the more you are alive or tuned into the universe at large. When you realize that all that is out there has been put there for you to enjoy, then you become the master of this game. Noticing it all is being in the flow of the universe. Recognizing that you do not have to take it all with you, ie. the experience of it is enough. The highs, the lows, it’s all there for you to experience. The master truly experiences it all and acquires a balance to his or her life. You can never become bored if you mimic the universe, turning on in one moment and off to that experience in the next. It doesn’t matter how long the moment lasts, as long as you are entertained and following the live and let live principle. Flow has no time boundaries, neither should we. Become a master of the game, focus on what you want and go after it until you see another thing or idea that interests you more. You don’t decay in flow, you glow. When you are glowing your attention is on what you appreciate. Doing what you please fills the whole world with light, the light of you doing what you love to do at the moment in which it interests you enough to notice. You are part and parcel of this universe, all you have to do is recognize the god-force within you and use it for your own delight. Stuff lumbers you down, become holy so you can fill your holes with stuff, only to dump that stuff for something else in the future. Live in the now, turning on to life as it happens, collecting experiences rather than stuff.
