[Ron] In the Hindu model of reality, brahman, the God-Head, plays a game of hide and seek with himself. In this game, called Lila, he plays the individual people, the birds, the rocks, and forests, all separately and together, while completely forgetting that he is playing a game. Each Kalpa, ceases the game, wakes up, applauds himself, and resumes it. So one of the main points in "Waking up" and being enlightened, is knowing one is simply playing a game, currently acting as being a human being, having a illusion of being locked within a bag of skin and separated from whole of the cosmos. "Namaste", the formal Indian greeting, means literally "The god within me, blesses the god within you", recognizing "each other" separateness as part of the game that God plays.
[Krimel] I have always liked this idea to tell you the true. But it seems that 'enlightenment' should be a thing to be avoided in this case since it totally spoils the fun of the game, no? [Ron:] Yes, I don't know about you but I tend to forget a lot, the game Is constant, even when enlightened. For me anyhoo, I'm waking only to fall back asleep. Enlightenment is always kickin my ass awake. usually when I find myself getting upset about things. Peek-a-boo! I seee you! Works well when the urge to Strangle one of the incarnate selves erupts. [Krimel] I just watched a movie in which a man tells his daughter that the secret to a happy marriage is a short memory. Could it also be the secret to a happy life and even afterlife? Kinda like my favorite Bob Seger lyric, "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then."
