Growing Old

MAP

So why are we here on this big chunk of rattling rock and lava suspended in space, somehow flying around other chunks in space while chunks of rock fly around us?

Where else would you like to be ?  You can go anywhere you want.  You choose.

Seriously, why are we here?

To experience life in a way that is not possible other than being here on this chunk of rock as you put it.

What makes this life different?

The challenges you face, the illusions you create – just about everything is unique in its own way.  The biggie is the cycle of curiosity and struggle you create for yourself.

You have grown much though.  The game you first came to play is growing old – or rather you are growing old and gaining wisdom.

How often do you play the card game of Go Fish when you are not with a child?  The time is drawing near where this card game of life called Go Fish is no longer serving you in your growth.

The time is here where you desire a new game to play.  Only this time you get to write the rules.

How you see the world will determine what rules you play.  Eventually you will need no rules at all but that is a while away yet.

Won’t everything fall into chaos without rules to tell everyone how to behave with each other?

In your world, yes.

But also recognize you have a ton of rules already and your world is still falling into chaos.  You add more rules to fix the problems, make everything better, yet that doesn’t stop chaos from occurring.

Having rules does not solve your problem.  Until you have everyone agree to play by the rules they are useless, they are much less for use than you desire.

But we all play by these “human” life rules somehow, you keep saying we all choose to play this game of illusion.

That is because who agreed to those rules agreed at a much higher level than you.

Think of playing a game like your Monopoly where you play the game with a token to move around the board.

You can be a hat, an iron or a shoe if you like.  You are the one moving your token around on the board.

What you fail to realize is that you are more like the hat, iron and shoe than you are as you rolling the dice.

That is until you realize that those are both you – the dice rolling decision maker and the hat, iron or shoe.

When you have that awareness or realization then the rules of the game must change.

You have out grown the current set of rules – rules at a much higher level than just what determines how you move around the board.

More of you are slowly but surely coming to this realization.  Your games and rules are coming to a change.

They have to.

You cannot hide any longer in only what you know.  The larger game you came here to play will drive you to seek what you do not know in your quest to return to knowing everything.

That for some is a very scary thought or place.  You have put a barrier in place to prevent this – that is why you created the negative connotation to the phrase you use as “know it all”.

To be a “know it all” is to be your truth.

But to play the game you had to stop those who were close to remembering and exposing this truth to all.

You are master game players.  You have to be to keep playing this long – and to change the game ever so slightly here and there to get where you are now without really realizing it.

You are here to play this game, to know yourself in this way.

Not everyone chose to be here and you may not choose to come here again.  This is up to you the role you play.

You cannot truly know yourself in this way until you come here to play this game.  You really wanted to be here, to know yourself in this way.

So enjoy it.  See your life through those eyes.

Keep on with changing the game.
