23/03/2024: Shift Update - The Infinite Game

I felt to feature this article again today, about treating life as an "Infinite Game", because I think this can greatly help people mediate through this challenging world and the unfolding shift before us. What is meant from the term and how can it help us? The challenge of the 3D world and the way society is orchestrated, is that you're always looking to attain goals "out there", meaning you're constantly encouraged to acquire or gain something - making a trip to the store, going to work for the day to attain resources, planning to meet friends, fixing this or that. If you take a look at your typical day, I'm sure you'll get what I mean. And that's even before we look at medium and long-term objectives.

Consider even spiritual objectives: "I'm so looking forwards to the completion of the shift, so that all this craziness will have washed away".

Paradoxically, with this kind or orientation, you're always setting yourself up for failure. How so? It's because you're tethering yourself to the need for a particular outcome. When in actual fact, the universe isn't about that. It's about unleashing the fullness of being and watching reality crystallise around that.

Why then are people so allured by trying to manipulate the crystallisation - 3D reality - itself?

The Continual External Attraction of the Ego

I witness it's often because when you do come into your True Self, then reality does shape around it in the most profound of ways - it delivers wonderful harmonies in the outer, that if you're not careful, the ego then attaches to, and so you bounce out of the True Self. The more you want, the more you get lost in manipulating the external, the crystallisation.

Instead I'm suggesting a shift in perspective, which can be pretty subtle within, yet furnish a whole new way of living and being, which is ALWAYS successful. What I'm suggesting is to give up the need for the outcome of any given situation to go this way or that. Instead, always look for how you're being invited to be now? How can you be more of you? How can you be the next highest version of you?

Every situation in life, no matter how it goes, is inviting this. And when you step square and centre into this driving dynamic, then you become the infinite game player. You'll find there's always the next step to play, always the next possibility and crystallisation of reality which you don't have to effort for. And by working to embody the next deepest sense of you, the next highest iteration of you, then paradoxically you'll find the outer becomes increasingly harmonious and simply "right", whatever that is.

To be clear, in any given situation, what you're really looking for is the feeling sense of self. What does it feel like when you're being the grandest version of you? Focus on this. Pay attention to this. Embody this.

Stepping into the Crucible of Life

It's also crucial to say it is still important to commit yourself to the unfolding steps - even to the goals that naturally present, including the short-term ones. There's an invitation to step towards them. Without doing so, if your energy becomes wishy-washy and noncommital, then you don't expose the density within or unleash the next highest version of you. You have to be prepared to step into the crucible of life in order to forge the soul. So commit with gusto, BUT, be always watching and centred within your True Self and working to gain a deeper understanding and embodiment of yourself - embodiment as a perception feeling sense of who you are.

Then all you have to do is keep doing it. Keep expressing and keep embodying. You become the infinite game player and in any given situation in life, how ever the extrernal crystallises, you will always be the winner. You will always have the next step to take, the next hand to play.
