A New Way to See

Complicated Game

I had a dream recently that appeared to highlight all the egoic operating methods.

I was taken into an organization (tightly maintained) not wholly willing. But thought if I did not “play along” I would be eliminated (as they did not want their ulterior motive to be revealed). As a “newbie” you had to progress through the “levels” by completing various tasks. It was a complicated game, each level with more challenges or difficulty. If you needed help, you were allowed to seek help, but you had to ask the “correct” person, not someone too high up. Also the rules changed as you progressed, without advance notice.

To me, this symbolizes the ego system. It uses “tricks” to keep you submissive and to keep you occupied with meaningless pursuits.

Spirit: Dear one, you indeed made up the game. But it is not necessary that you continue playing it. It is not a failure if you cease playing—for it has no true meaning or value. If you give the playing/motivation to H.S., then it may be used for waking and not for denial.

Giving the game to Spirit will direct you away from confusion, contrary thoughts and empty pursuits. For there is nothing in the game or at its end that is worthy as a gift to God’s Son. You are beginning to accept that you do not want anything the game offers you.

Your simple, uncomplicated purpose is to let go of the false, which enables you to remember what and who you are in truth. You always have Help to do his, never think you could be alone.
I am here, with you always.
