Is This the Right Game?
This world seems built for those who glorify the physical and the ownership of things and there seems no sign that they are somehow destined for bad things while those who suffer so much will meet in heaven - that seems to me to be the best con job around to ensure the powerful stay in place while the weak suffer in silence.
If the tales, myths and legends from the past are any indication, once upon a time, we were here, delving into the physical while maintaining a spirit-awareness that let us live bountiful and enlightening lives. The Beings we were got talked about in later times as Gods, magical beings of goodness who could do miraculous things. Looking around at some of the ancient monuments and relics left from many thousands of years ago, I have to speculate that the tales of the times of the Gods were times when we humans could do things we can no longer achieve.
It seems a simpler explanation than inventing some long-vanished race of supernatural beings who behaved insanely while they were here.
In many of the tales, there is a war, but preceding the war there is some kind of dilemma facing the ‘enlightened beings’ who run the civilization. Sometimes it is to do with those in charge ‘going’ elsewhere, but almost as often, it is Beings who should know better behaving like spoiled brats fighting over the ice cream.
What I wonder is about the tales we have from the past that talk about the Fall of Man. Most of those I’ve read tell us that we were once in a Golden Age and then there was a choice made and things headed rapidly South.
But what kind of a choice could have such drastic effects?
