Is life really a cosmic game we consciously choose to play?
(This is a longer post and because of the nature of the subject "Life" it needs, in my view a more elaborate set uP.)
I think it is, or, it certainly can seem like it is! It's like we are literally in an old Twilight Zone episode or some science fiction movie. Like the Matrix.
The game plot is: that when we enter this world we will forget many things about our true spiritual nature by consciously allowing self accepted amnesia to occur.
That's part of the rules of the game on this particular earth plane.
In theory, we always have access to our true spiritual self while we are here, but it can sometimes be extremely difficult and sometimes seeming impossible to access it. When we do, it sometimes seems random and we only get bits of it.
Metaphysical and spiritual books etc. and other material are like blueprints, maps, codes, and teacher instruction manuals to help us decode and understand life more deeply.
As we enter this world we predetermine our parents, our looks race, genetic structure, city and time of birth among other things.
It seems we are free spiritual beings until we except our assignment or game plan to incarnate into this reality dimension.
It's when we do this that we allow the temporary amnesia to take over. Or is it self allowed amnesia slavery?
In the book Converstaions with God by Neale Donald Walsch book 3 we further learn that there are any number of infinite variations we can pick on the cosmic CD ROM of Experience. Including other dimensions, worlds, planets, societies, anything we can Imagine etc.
It may seem dubious even inconceivable that we would come from a more advanced past lifetime to only then enter such a primitive place as earth, though I guess it's still in the realm of the possible. Book 3 says we love it all, from primitive man to HEB's. HEB's means Highly Evolved Beings.
There's probably a larger consensus that we keep moving uP the ladder of awareness, but who really knows?
Earth may not be the most primitive planet in the Universe, but it's pretty close to the bottom and we are in the Boondocks or the cosmic ghetto of spiritual thinking and living.
Of course we are evolving out of our primitiveness to more advancement.
Earth itself is a beautiful awesome blue jewel of a planet. A highly prized cosmic piece of real estate floating amongst a larger debris of lifeless mostly inhospitable planets, moons etc. But the market price is going down from too many wars, too much pollution, too much, violence to much stupidity. Mother earth is very ill.
People like those of us here are working/playing to "wake uP" and remember more how to use our truer vast God like potential and regain the understanding that the Illusion of life is in fact a game we are playing, but one we can learn to have more control and power over as we wake uP, just like Neo in the movie the Matrix.
We use the illusions for our and everyone's benefit rather than the illusions using us for non benefit. No small feat at this moment.
That is the "secret" hidden within the game, like understanding the concepts, power and value of personal and collective creation etc.
Thus everything in life is a metaphor for life, movies, paintings, people, computers cars, nature, everything is a metaphor and a reminder and reflection of life.
Life which is a cosmic mirror of our soul reflecting the Soul of God or the Universe in physical terms.
So I can't help but think, life is like being in a game inside a science fiction movie. You break out of it when you die. The game (at present) is to see how far we can get before we physically die right?
The game of life can be deadly serious to nonsensical to everything in-b-tween.
It could be that, and much much more too.
So, my friends, is life really a cosmic game we consciously chose to play? (if so, what does that mean? Or, is it something else entirely?
