winning the game.

what’s more powerful? “i believe in myself” or “i believe in God”? what’s powerful is when you realize you’re saying the same thing. it can take many years of embodiment to separate the two ideas, to know one before the other, and to finally understand how they come together. it sounds like this: “i believe in the divinity that flows within me and all around.”

it’s in the space between doing and being that we can begin to conceptualize divinity as a level of consciousness where doing and being are the same; doing = being, and the doing is the being. it’s only on earth and in the human experience that action can be surrender. this is special. and the key is not even intention; it’s in the level of consciousness. are we holding the body consciousness together with our soul consciousness? or are we prioritizing one over the other?

finding and maintaining this balance is the entire assignment. life on earth gives the illusion of duality even though everything is the same and all is one. the game must be played and it was meant to be enjoyed. now, is it meant to be won? perhaps not. but after a while, you might be content to believe that winning the game is really more like ending the game, which is what happens once you become the version of yourself that steps out of the game to help the other players who are still in it.
