On 2001/09/26  03:49, Jb789 posted thus to the K-list: The following might sound a bit, like depression/pessimism...
 
..but, Game, being a happening/behaviour within a certain set of  
predefined and agreed upon (or forced upon) Rules, Roles,  
rights&wrongs, good&bad values, shoulds¬s, directions ..  
looking close enough, I see  
_nothing but_ Games !..  
Arbitrary, man-made games. 
Even in one's occupation with the most 'elevated, transcendental and  
holy' matters.. though they give a peculiar energy/stimulation to the  
body-mind, .. more of the same .. games & games. 
And I would not be surprised, if 99,9999999999 % and more of what's  
happening and being said at all these 'enlightenment' web-sites,  
books and gatherings,.. is,  conventional Games.. traditional or anti- 
traditional or middle-path games. 
And one may exchange one game for another, but the Same Game goes on. 
And most probably, what I write now, is also part of some game,.. 
the game that there Must/might-be, something Else than this Game. 
War, religions, values in society, holy books, football, jobs,  
rituals, relationships (incl. 'love'), nationalism, 'spiritual'  
activities/practices/meditations and cults, traditions, hobbies,  
believer/agnostic/atheist, dying in the Name of .., sticking to one  
or dropping all spiritual clubs.. etc. etc. ... 
all Games. 
If it so, what happens ?.. 
Either one says: .. "well if it's all a hoax, the hell with all of  
it ! .. whether I die at the end of a healthy life or of liver  
trouble due to being an alchoholic or of AIDS.. or of being chair- 
electrocuted  due to a crime.. or of yoga-standing on my head too  
long..or committing suicide, or of trying to open my third eye with a  
nail and hammer (as some tradition actually recommends)..it has no  
real meaning either way .." 
Or one closes the eyes to the what-is, and joins and sticks to the  
saving-raft/rope(or end of it) of one's choice..'THE Way' or 'non- 
path', in great pink (&hidden) hopes.. 
Or one consciously chooses to play the game of one's choice, worldly,  
social or spiritual, _As If_ it was some 'absolute transcendental and  
Ultimate reality or means thereto' or at least 'good enough for me'.. 
Or one believes "it's all illusion" .. or "it's all God" .. 
Or one confesses "I know nothing!", while 
actually utterly drowning, in one of the above games.- 
Or .. ?
