If we're put on this Earth in order to live life as a human being, and we purposely put a veil before we incarnate, isn't it kind of like cheating to keep remembering about spirituality and what comes next?

Life on Earth has been compared to a role playing game. However, when I play a game like civilization where you're the leader of a nation, I really like to get into the mindset and role as if I'm really a leader of a real nation interacting with other real nations. I don't want to be reminded that the opposing nations aren't real but simply computer players. Likewise, I don't like to engage in tactics that takes advantage of the fact it's computer player and this is a computer game, but I like to stay true to the idea of it being a real simulation.

I know it would do be good to really embrace spirituality a lot more in my life, to really absorb it so much. I can see that it would ease a number of my fears and make me calmer and more at peace. However, a huge part of me feels like this is cheating and I thought I'd start a thread to see if I can overcome this resistance in feeling this is cheating and breaking this simulation on Earth.
