Mindful Gameplay

Winning the game of life is accomplished when we’re aware

Currently, there are some very intelligent minds creating the belief that the universe is a simulation. So tangled have they become, with trying to make sense of it all, that they’re now beginning to postulate that the universe acts very much like a quantum computer. The conclusion they’ve reached is that the universe is a simulation being played out on a vast computer set up somewhere in an alternate alien dimension. Some very intelligent people actually believe this.

I’m not about to start debating this either way, because I don’t think there is anything to gain from that. In other words, it doesn’t matter a toss

It doesn’t matter, because real or simulated, we’re all still experiencing life (some more than others) and real or simulated it’s a game either way.

Treating life as if it were a game is sensible on many levels. Not because it makes the business of living life any less important. It’s because learning gameplay helps us to navigate, what can seem on the surface, a very complicated affair.

Establishing the rules and playing with awareness eases the way

• Learn to love one’s self
• Become aware of fear based gameplay (do you need to control or are you being controlled? Are you being manipulated or do you seek to manipulate?)
• As much as possible make life decisions based on compassion and love. Ask yourself, what would love do?
• Always act with integrity
• Be present (to what extent are you allowing the past or future fantasy to influence your choices?)
• Learn to meditate and practice daily
• Be mindful of thoughts and behaviour and how they influence your feelings
• Be mindful of allowing your feelings to overrule reasoned thinking

Listed above are just a few simple rules you must play by. If you want to win, remove your confusion, and follow one set of rules only. The correct set.
