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 .. ?
