Life as a Game

Play is the highest form of research.

Albert Einstein, the great German physicist

So, a person is born, and their journey through life begins, a journey and a game simultaneously. How does a game differ from reality?

On one hand, it is a model of life; on the other, in a game, there is no fear, hatred, or insane worries about the past, no rejection of what has happened.

The game is a kind of vaccination against becoming too attached to life. When we begin to truly feel the Divine within ourselves, life immediately becomes a game. In this game, you are constantly happy, regardless of whether you are losing or gaining. The main thing in the game is to give creative energy. We know that any game must end, and then a new game will begin.

However, sometimes a person becomes so engrossed that they start to become attached to the game. Then sadness, hatred, and resentment appear.

In America, ten to fifteen years ago, such an experiment was conducted. Ten military pilots were put into special helmets and immersed in a combat situation. This was done using devices that create virtual reality. After two hours, the experiment ended. Three pilots remained sitting in their chairs—they had died. Experts later said that their consciousness had intertwined with the game program, and when the game was destroyed, their consciousness was destroyed too.

Forgetting that we carry the Creator within us, renouncing love, we become more and more engrossed in passions, becoming attached to life and feeling how our soul is destroyed with the loss of our attachments.

This becomes the cause of indescribable suffering. And then, trying to make the game eternal, a person is ready to commit any crime for self-preservation. They want to make pleasure eternal. They dream of making their body eternal. A person tries to preserve their dream because everything we worship must be eternal. This dates back to the times when life in the universe was only a single universal soul, without material embodiment.

We try to make our informational cocoon, this emotional bubble, indestructible and begin to gradually hate the universe, which tries to extract us from it and unite with itself.

But this union will happen anyway. If the bubble does not want to change and develop, it bursts and disappears.

Then a person, a nation, or a civilization, parting with emotions, consciousness, and life, returns to the roots of their existence to tune their soul to universal harmony.
