What Is This Game?

by

When one begins to question what we see around us, all kinds of strange things come to our attention. This impinges on the path to Spirituality because, as we become more aware, so do we open to new influences, find new paths and accept new choices into our lives.

But as we see new things, quite often we also begin to see patterns. As I’ve looked around I’ve found a world where, to me, things don’t seem right. The average person (yes I realize there’s really no such thing ) lives in a world where many choices are made for them, where the offered paths are towards working for at least eight hours a day for forty five years so they can ‘retire’ to an existence where, unless they’ve been lucky, all they can manage is to have a slightly comfortable life.

And that’s in the economically enriched western countries – if they are unlucky enough to be born in any of about forty or more countries not in the ‘western’ clique, they will be lucky to survive to sixty-five, let alone have a decent life after that period.

I look around and I see a world where, either we have one hell of a long way to travel in this game or the game is rigged from the start, OR, just maybe, something is wrong with it. When so many people are not only denied the knowledge they need to further their advance into a higher state of beingness but who are so trapped in the battle to survive on a daily basis, that they fail to even know there is a path of advancement, surely we are not looking at a system designed to test and increase the knowledge and awareness of the players?
