Come meander with me on the pathless path of the Heart
in these anecdotal,
sometimes inspiring, sometimes personal meanderings of the Heart's opening in the every-day-ness of life...

"The Game" - a meandering...



"You don't play the game,
the game plays you"

Yellowstone

~

I am being played by Life...

I am not responsible for how
"The Game" is played out or how it ends.

I'm just a "player" in "The Game."
I need to let it play out -
to step aside and let it play -
let it unfold.

Beliefs don't matter.
It's all like a play, a movie, a dance, a story, a "game."
Choose your word, the one that resonates with you.
Some call it a dream...

I have to ride it out, and
not take "The Game" seriously.

I'm not in control of "The Game."


You don't direct the dance,
the dance directs you,
and there's nothing but
the dance...

It's all part of a larger "Game" that we
cannot even comprehend.
There are many depths, many layers
to "The Game."
There are multiple levels all playing at
the same time.

Each day you have to "see" how "The Game"
will play out - how to play "The Game" that day -
how you're going to play.


It's kind of like Alice in Wonderland,
where the game changes depending on
which rabbit hole you go down, or which
door you go through - what fantasy you
choose to play.

Each day a new fantasy or a continuation of
an old one, an old theme that keeps getting 
replayed - but who chooses?  Are there doors
that you must go through as part of your life
experience?  Did Alice have a choice?  It seems
she just fell down the rabbit hole -
into another reality,
another game...

What hole will I fall down and what doors will I have
to go through in the life experience, Life Game -
and what hat am I going to wear? :)

The Cosmic Game...


You learn to play the game by
resting and waiting for
the inner movement to come...

Waiting for everything to be revealed
naturally, without efforting or trying...

Not letting the game dominate your
mind, but waiting for the movement of
the Sweet Beloved within...

Awake to the game while in 
the game...

Ancient rishis called it Gyan-ganu, "solidified knowledge."
Every particle contains all the information in the cosmos.
And empty space is really not empty, but filled with bliss
and knowledge.  Knowing this, we simply relax and get
connected.

The End Game...


Accumulated shadows
from a life lived
emerge into the present -
like forgotten orphans...

The melancholy mind
grieving its losses:
names, places and events
become vague histories;
even the present moment
is a blur - already passed.

She recognizes what's coming,
as the shadowy figures move over
her chess board of life,
playing the end games
until checkmate...

grieving her once lived life
in the game...

Everywhere Veiled - Fakhruddin Iraqi


 Art by Joe Maccer at Deviant Art


Everywhere veiled
by Your own Face
You are hidden from the world
In Your very manifestation.
Look where I will
I see your Face alone;
in all those idols
I see only You.
Jealous lest You be recognized
at every instant
You dress your Beauty
in a different cloak.


Farkhruddin Iraqi
English version by William Chittick and
Peter Lamborn Wilson

Life is a Cosmic Play, the Divine playing hide and seek,
playing us.
"She" has many disguises...
