Step 36 – The Chess Player

life is a game

do you agree? some may find this analogy rather disagreeable. That is totally understandable. Let me explain my position:

yes, life is a game. But the goal is not to win, to beat ‘someone’ else. No, that would be cruel, and imposing one’s will. No, life is a game, but the end goal is quite different.

here – the reward is happiness.

Life is a game, because to achieve this elusive end – joy, bliss, happiness – we must approach every day with an eye to strategy, and a sense of planning. We have to know what resources we have (the pieces), how best to deploy them (the moves, and countermoves) and a sense of where everyone else is (the best way to interact, the timing). Here, Life is a Game of Chess.

and know what? you are the Chess Player here!

you have the pieces (language, education, money) and its up to you to deploy them out on the Field. It’s up to you to take command, and make all the key decisions. No-one else is playing for you!

But remember. There are no winners or losers in this Grand Game of Life; there is only Joy and Sadness. And that is very much an individual affair. It’s in YOUR HANDS!

Step 27 – Heartbeat of the Universe

can you hear that? no, what is it?

that, my friend, is the Heartbeat of the Universe.

pulsing quietly, ever-present, in a dance of atoms and molecules

inside stars, inside the mind, inside the stomach of a tiger

the pulse and beat of the cosmic creator, the arch mathematician

a symphonic patterning, overlay of rhythms, disparate tones

all working for a higher unity

moving through the densities, ascending to ever higher scales

it is a tune playing today, in joy, in resonance

it is here, it is now

the Cosmic Pulse.

Step 21 – Rotating Doubt into Light

scored for viola, harp, and french horn

for a long time I’ve doubted. Doubted myself, doubted the world, doubted others. A basic mistrust about the goodness of the world. It has taken me a long time to work through it.

One begins with trust. I was a high-achiever as a kid; always had to get the ace grades you know. But that was a seeking by external means to validate the inner self; at heart, I didn’t really value myself.

I got over this by understanding who I TRULY was. You see, these few words turned things around for me –

“you are a spirit having a human experience”

and boom! my life turned around! all these things and trappings I was always worrying about; status, money, position, rankings, fame — this became as nothing in those words.

a simple truth which rotated the Light of Focus from the outside, and back to the Inner. The core being.

these few words rotated the Doubt back into the Light.
and for that simple truth, I am eternally grateful.
blessings and joy my friends. It is your inheritance.

Step 11 – Unblocking

many areas of out lives can get clogged because of trauma. A bad experience, that we put away, and never want to think about again. But the scar remains, unresolved, a weak point in the human energy system.

part of unblocking is opening up the chakra centres. From the ground up, there may be seven broad areas of consideration, corresponding to the 7 colors of the rainbow.

red – personal survival
orange – individual power
yellow – social consciousness

green – love

blue – understanding and wisdom, with words
indigo – deep compassion
violet – spiritual union

any blockage at a lower point prevents the full flow of energy upwards and onwards. We all have areas to consider and work on; this is a daily practice; like keeping the body showered and clean.

unblock. and find the way to freedom.
