A Strategic Guide to Mastering the Journey Known as Existence
In a critical juncture for humanity, each individual is presented with a significant choice: to choose which rules and game they wish to play in their journey. This perspective is put forth by Amina Deb Lewis, a seasoned seeker and student in esoteric, spiritual, and scientific studies for over four decades.
Lewis suggests that until bifurcation, the splitting of realities, is complete, it may be beneficial to play games like Candy Land, where the focus is on fun and cooperation rather than competition. However, she emphasizes that the game of life is more akin to a game of chess—a game of strategy.
Currently, humanity is playing the old version of this game, moving through life via control, manipulation, and fear-based actions. But, as Lewis points out, the game of chess can also be approached as a game of strategy to keep oneself free and continue to have options with each move made.
Two distinct "camps" have emerged in the re-negotiation of the rules to the current game of life on Earth. On one side are those who prioritize winning and triumphing over others. On the other are those who seek growth in love, wisdom, and self-expression that supports the whole.
Understanding life as a game emphasizes that your actions matter and are interconnected, similar to games like Scrabble, where players respond to one another and build connections rather than acting solely for individual gain. Choosing to act out of love rather than fear promotes cooperation, compassion, and positive relationships, which improves both your experience and those of others around you.
The goal is no longer to "win" the game, but to play out of curiosity and excitement, to see what new opportunities present themselves and where new challenges stretch creativity. Most people, including Lewis, have seen the game of chess as a competition that boxes in the other person, leading to a forced surrender.
However, humanity is now negotiating and co-creating new rules for moving through life via love-based actions. Those choosing the game of loving experience can start now, even with the same rules, by strategizing differently to accelerate the emergence of the new game they are co-creating.
The choice is between continuing to play a game of competition or shifting to a game of loving discovery and experience. Amina Deb Lewis, whose greatest joy is sharing various perspectives and tools on living one's Individual Unique Truth to its fullest capacity, can be reached at [email protected] for more insights. This shift in perspective promises an entirely new game being played, one that fosters growth, harmony, and love.
Engaging in education-and-self-development and personal-growth, cultivating mindfulness, could aid in strategizing differently within the game of life, aligning with the camp of those pursuing love, wisdom, and self-expression. By embracing love-based actions, one can foster cooperation, compassion, and positive relationships, ultimately leading to an evolution in the game towards growth, harmony, and love.
