"Love and do as you wish" or GoG - A guide to the rules of the Game of God

As I bounce around with my "gaming approach" to existence in my mind I initially thought the phrases The game of reality and The game of God would be interchangeable synonyms meaning the same but used in different contexts. Turns out that is likely not the case, so I will take some time to fully explain how I see GoG, the grounding fundament for all my own further projects and existential mini games.   

The game of reality needs no explanation. It is simply what is and will stay this way regardless of what humans think or do about it. In the "Game of Reality" there can't be any objectives, there are no certainties there are any players at all participating in the game. The only certainty is that the game actually exists because, well, here we are performing reality for some damned reason. This is in my opinion not good enough of a basis to do anything meaningful within it. If "GoR", so to speak, is the only thing that is real in the end I would choose to become an incarnation of Camus and screamingly start to push boulders up against hills while laughing manically. It would indeed be the most sensible thing to do and I remain baffled that there aren't more people out in the Postmodern dystopia of a world living life this way. 

But no. I think there is reason to believe there is more to existence than "GoR" alone. It's undeniably a factor in what God is using for their game and to study reality writ large will always be a valid strategy to play "GoG" properly, but I would say - in contrast to "GoR" there is objectives to be had in "GoG" and there is even a rule book of sort. No, not the law of Moses or anything else in that particular category but something much more simple. Let me explain.

**

The basis for my suspicion that "GoG" has actual rules is the existence of the concept of Love. No one of us humans quite understands what this word means. We relate to it mostly through our feelings and emotions and one might say that our bodies know very well what this word wishes to communicate but our logical mind can't really wrap itself around it. We connect it thus to various things, such as romance, altruism, our religious ideas or whatever else one might conjure up - but is that the same to say that we have actual knowledge about what Love means for ourselves and the world? 

I wouldn't say so, but yet the concept of love pops up.. everywhere. In every system, every age, every culture and civilisation relates in some way to Love. When I studied Perennialism I was frankly amazed at how universal certain ideas were, yes, ideas about Love showed up even among such things as Satanism and other extreme individualists such as Ayn Rand (note to fellow libertarians: I love the woman, but gosh, was she ever a strange bird)! What is that about, if not a pointer to a general basic "rule structure" for how reality operates?

Allow me to borrow a page from the lovely lunatic named Leo Gura. He claims that Love is truly universal. Any event that ever takes place comes from a place of Love, every action that is ever performed is believed by the agent to be an action expressed by Love meant to express Love. Regardless if it's acts of aggressions, hate or otherwise destructive deeds - their real origin and purpose is indeed.. Love. This can be, he explains, because our ideas of Love is so often misplaced and confused. Hate in general, for instance, is an example of misplaced Love since an confused agent which experiences a love for apples, let's say, believes they must then hate every aspect of reality who might threaten or diminish the existence of their beloved apples. So they hate all "anti- appleists", but Love is indeed the origin and the motive of their emotion named "hate". Other, darker, stuff's relation to Love might be more difficult to explain and since it's outside of the scope of this particular text I'll have to refer you to Gura in general. He is indeed somewhat of a lunatic, but sometimes the perspectives of lunatics might be right on the money. You yourself need to be the judge on that.

Anyway. I buy the basis of the argument Gura puts forth and therefore I want to claim the following: Since everything humanity is doing is made in the purpose of - misplaced or not - Love, Love needs to have something to do with the objective of "GoG". I suggest, and sincerely believe, that the objective and cardinal rule of "GoG" is "Learn to the fullest what Love is and apply your current understanding of Love while doing so". This is what most humans are doing rather consciously anyway. Most of us want to be good lads and lassies, we want to be upstanding citizens in general, a pleasant fellow being, and many of us wish to be an help in making the world a better place in general. Maybe we wouldn't call these general desires to be decent "a pursuit of knowledge of Love" or the "appliance of Love" but then it's still would be something similar - the desire to be good and the fear of being judged as evil is indeed borderline primal within us. 

But our ideas of what is to be considered good and evil differs heavily and always have. Some basic things can we accomplish to make agreements on but different value systems can find so many exceptions even to these seemingly basic definitions of what is good and what is evil that, you know, I don't blame those who are hesitant in believing in an "objective morality" all too much. What would it consist of? "Breathe motherfucker, and don't stop others like you from breathing. Full stop." Everything else (and honestly even that one) there can be arguments about.    

I don't think there is an objective morality, necessarily. I believe Love is a true principle of reality which has its own axioms and laws - some can be phrased in human languages but some simply can't be understood by any faculty of our current minds. Love is a mystery and if there is an "objective morality" of sorts I think it's better to express it as an objective of a game.

A mythic short story

"Figure this out", God said. "When you have mastered this mission completely the game as you know it will stop but until then you must apply your current understanding and learn more about Love until you reach the very end of its laws and principles. How you do this is entirely up to you and your fellow players. No rules, no judgments from Me, just freedom. Good luck, and remember, that I will always love you in a perfect manner. I can be the Game master of this game because I reached the end you now shall seek and I will always be with you until you eventually will do the same as I." 

The end

Everything fits in my opinion. If this is the basis of reality as we know it then it explains how everything can be perfect - "Everything is perfect, will always be perfect and can not be anything but perfect" is my personal axiom since the beginning of my adult spiritual journey - and our human world still so chaotic and frankly evil at the same time. It is perfect because we are amassing tonnes of learning of what Love entails in these specific circumstances and as soon we gather the spiritual strength to turn off the taps of evilness we will be able to progress shockingly far collectively in the current stage of "GoG". I think we are doing very well according to the Game master- A bit slow, a bit much of Analysis Paralysis from some key players perhaps, but still: Good - exciting - job, humanity!    

Yes, I know that a certain segment of potential readers groans in agony at this point - "Yet another new cager parroting the lie that earth is a soul school of sorts" - and please misunderstand me correctly here. I don't think human reality is a school, it is a game with a teaching objective, but the game itself is the most important aspect and everyone and everything is participating (including the Archons, cough cough), not just human souls or what have you. The difference becomes that if you reach a state where a certain configuration of the game annoys you or even agonizes you, you are free to quit that configuration immediately. You don't have to wait until physical death and be desperate to be able to "escape the trap of the white light" or whatever you might think awaits us, you can quit a particular game right now!

The problem is, of course, that it takes courage and a deep inner strength to cut the ties to the mini-games of GoG that one has grown used to. It will hurt, it will force you to go mad - to what degree I wouldn't dare to say. But it is worth it, because indeed, to be playing a game one loathe and despise is one of the worst things one could be doing. Just quit it. Sure, you are not allowed to quit either "GoG" or "GoR" but any of the human mini games within those over arching structures is highly optional. Don't try to change the mini games or make them stop for anyone else, that is just a variant on how mini games in general are played. Instead just quit. Make your own game - with blackjacks and hookers if your hearts so desire.

Seriously. Guys. This is so important. Regardless if you care about political, ideological or spiritual freedom it is only You that can make a difference to make your own life more free and if that is ever going to be substantially different you yourself must cut whatever ties you have to things that doesn't actually hold you down. Yes, I - very much so - know that many of us suffers from conditions of our biology and what cards we were dealt by reality and sadly we can only change our own mini- games, both "GoG" and "GoR" is only up to us to accept to the best degree we can.

I understand if that fact might be too harsh and if you hate Reality itself or God for creating such stupid meta- games then I deeply feel for you. I've been there and to choose to play the game with God as an opponent is a valid choice I myself have been tempted to pursue. I don't blame you if you go that way in the slightest but I must warn you. It's a painful road coupled with endless suffering and you won't stand a chance to actually win against God in their own game. I suspect this choice is the basis for the concept of Hell and well... Hell is simply not fun. 

And, truly, existence, life and all there is to it is indeed supposed to be fun! So quit everything that is destroying your sense of having fun and don't be afraid of the consequences.

God the Game master loves that move, I assure you.
