Blogs > Within and Inside

This blog is one about symbiosis. Its purpose is to help those out there going through hard times to find solace within. Through the act of questioning our society’s issues and dilemmas, as well as comparing large scale problems to personal ones, we can find a better understanding as who we truly are and how we truly operate. Once we have a firm understanding to this inner dimension our problems will seem less problematic.   This is, perhaps, the grandest of all goals.

The Greatest Game Ever Played (continued)

Part 2

What is reality? As covered before, reality is neither in your head nor outside of you. Though your thoughts and the external world are aspects of the experience of reality, they are only a fraction of the totality. YOU are reality. Your experience is merely the contrast you desire to paint the picture you want (the color for your canvass). And contained within that previous sentence is an even greater truth: The life you are living is one you have created, whether consciously or unconsciously. This includes all of the sadness, the anger and the sorrow. For, without the experience of these contrasting emotions and sensations you would not appreciate the beauty of joy.
How could anyone know what absence is without presence? In other words, light would not exist without darkness. One enables the other to be.
So, if you need the contrast of sadness to feel happiness, a prudent question would be: Am I creating the negativity in my life so that I may experience its opposite?
WOW! If that is true, what kind of a game is this? Could it be that you have placed yourself, by some form of cosmic intention, in your particular predicament simply to give yourself a taste of life in its fullness? Could it be that all the complaining and all the laughter you've experienced have been both desired by you and answered by you?
If the above is indeed the case, would this not be the greatest game ever played?

Marquis,

Yes, we may be playing in the game. But, personally I feel we also must watch to see if we have agreed to play in someone else's game. Thus, we must sit back and think, is this my lesson to learn or am I just in the game for someone else to learn. Each one requires a different thought process. If we have all incarnated to learn then we have also because of our Spiritualness chosen the position of helping others learn.
In the idea that we are all one. This meaning takes on the thought process that each thing we see or feel has a pattern in it for us, but if we do not hold the space for the others to learn we may leave a part of our own selves uncleared. Lee Mack
