Why life is a game

Have you ever woken from deep sleep and experienced a moment you were there but thoughts had not begun?

You were aware of the pure physicality of life

Often too soon, the inner narrative starts...

"I'm here. In my room. I gotta make coffee. What day is it? What's going on downstairs?"

It begins...

by itself

uninvited

… the story of your life

If you've had this experience;

1) it's proof you are not your story

If so, who are you?

2) it's proof you are not the creator of that story

If so, who or what is responsible?

3) You DO have agency in assessing the validity of that story, especially if it causes you stress

You can then reinterpret if it serves you better

Life becomes a game

You're beholden to a narrative, realise it, challenge it if necessary, and act in alignment with the new version

This is freedom
