The Cosmic Multiplayer Video Game

Video game

Every day I get to choose whether I want to be an adventurer, a student, a victim or a designer in my life.  There are basically 4 windows on reality and I can willfully choose to ‘look through’ any or all of those at any given moment.  Maybe this is truly the arena of free will!

 

  1. 1) Life is random, I have no control and I have to react to survive and only the fittest and most aggressive make it…it is basically told as a tragedy and I am the victim.  It is a sad and potentially dangerous place.  I probably will need a gun!  No one is in charge.

 

  1. 2) Life is a test and has right and wrong answers; I learn and get better and grow in wisdom and consciousness and probably if I don’t get it right, I’ll have to come back and live it again until I do or go to a penalty box or winner’s circle.  I am a student in God’s Universe and there are rules to follow.  It helps to have a textbook!  God is in charge.

 

  1. 3) I am a participant in the adventure of life and can influence and create the life I am living by choosing my perspective and thoughts, managing my emotions, being surprised at the mystery and magic of daily living; choose the victim role or student role or participant role consciously.  Magical thinking becomes ‘think positive.‘  I am in charge of my life but not other’s lives.  

 

  1. 4) I’m a designer in God’s MMOG.  (Massive Multiplayer Online Game)  I choose and design my life as writer, producer, director, star, talent scout all for the purpose of enlightenment and evolution.  Everyone else is a player and we co-create this ‘game’ in real time for the purpose of transformation.  It is a quantum reality of potential, choice and purpose.  Each day I bloom in the cosmos (the spiritual internet)…there are no ‘extras’ in God’s play or in my life and everybody is a star.

 

Sheldon Kopp has said that “Life isn’t about anything.”   Maybe it is just about choosing which starring role I am going to play today in my own movie…
