Game Station

O my God, what irony it is

That we are at the bottom of hell,

And yet are afraid of immortality.

              Rumi

 

*          *

When the end is in sight, many things go through our mind. Experiences, friends, success, and failure fill the consciousness. Yet, the heart laughs at all of this- for you see it knows the Goal and has been through this journey before.

The Great Wheel of Life keeps turning so we may experience ourselves and the Lord in so many different ways.  Like a video game, with level upon level, until we save the Princess- who is our selves. What travelers forget is that this journey or game can be accomplished in a second, 1000 years, or over and over again. Or we can play a totally different edition with an alternate experience, altogether.

It is totally up to us and there are no lasting penalties or rules about how man times we may play.

Often because of the games design we are filled with fear, pain, and anxiety. The nature of flesh is to perish, but in the mean time having a grand old time, with delight upon delight. For this game station is all our own: complete with pleasure, ecstasy, illness, disappointment, success, failure, tastes, smells, friends and relatives, heroes and villains. 

Some have likened this experience, with all its pain and disappointment to be a version of hell and the exit doors our immortality with God.  Always we play afraid of the end for that is nature of flesh; forgetting the ladder which was Given to free us.
