nothing but Games

[Guest guest]

The following might sound a bit, like depression/pessimism...

 

...but, Game, being a happening/behaviour within a certain set of

predefined and agreed upon (or forced upon) Rules, Roles,

rights&wrongs, good&bad values, shoulds&nots, directions ..

looking close enough, I see

_nothing but_ Games !..

Arbitrary, man-made games.

Even in one's occupation with the most 'elevated, transcendental and

holy' matters.. though they give a peculiar energy/stimulation to the

body-mind, .. more of the same .. games & games.

And I would not be surprised, if 99,9999999999 % and more of what's

happening and being said at all these 'enlightenment' web-sites,

books and gatherings,.. is, conventional Games.. traditional or anti-

traditional or middle-path games.

And one may exchange one game for another, but the Same Game goes on.

And most probably, what I write now, is also part of some game,..

the game that there Must/might-be, something Else than this Game.

War, religions, values in society, holy books, football, jobs,

rituals, relationships (incl. 'love'), nationalism, 'spiritual'

activities/practices/meditations and cults, traditions, hobbies,

believer/agnostic/atheist, dying in the Name of .., sticking to one

or dropping all spiritual clubs.. etc. etc. ...

all Games.

If it so, what happens ?..

Either one says: .. "well if it's all a hoax, the hell with all of

it ! .. whether I die at the end of a healthy life or of liver

trouble due to being an alchoholic or of AIDS.. or of being chair-

electrocuted due to a crime.. or of yoga-standing on my head too

long..or committing suicide, or of trying to open my third eye with a

nail and hammer (as some tradition actually recommends)..it has no

real meaning either way .."

Or one closes the eyes to the what-is, and joins and sticks to the

saving-raft/rope(or end of it) of one's choice..'THE Way' or 'non-

path', in great pink (&hidden) hopes..

Or one consciously chooses to play the game of one's choice, worldly,

social or spiritual, _As If_ it was some 'absolute transcendental and

Ultimate reality or means thereto' or at least 'good enough for me'..

Or one believes "it's all illusion" .. or "it's all God" ..

Or one confesses "I know nothing!", while

actually utterly drowning, in one of the above games.-

Or .. ?
