I, for myself, see this whole reality like a big computer game.
See, if I where to play a character in a computer game, I would select the game to play, I would select what kind of character, then go and immerse myself into the game.
The game in itself is quite pointless - it does not matter if I slay dragons and get rich in WoW as soon as I end the game. Still the game does give me an experience. Thats why I play the game, for experiencing it. For fun.
Now I imagine me being some kind of angelic being, kinda bored on a sunday afternoon, saying, 'heck, I gonna play a round on earth'. Depending on what you want to experience you select your game area, type of creature, select problems you want to experience (I wonder how it is to play someone blind?) and so on.
Then you (angelic being) starts the game, immerses yourself. You here on earth are kind of like an avatar in a computer game. You don't really know about the person guiding you (higher self), you'll just have this nagging feeling there is someone. And yeah, after death the whole game content will get pointless, but the experience for your higher self will not be pointless.
Of course you could go 'if this all is pointless anyway I won't do nothing no more'. Well, have you ever played a game with someone who is not engaged, not interested. It's annoying, it's no fun. Same for you and your Higher Self. You stop immersing, you'll be the most boring player (maybe your higher self wanted to see how it is to be a boring player, though).
I wonder if what the LoA is doing, or things like Erins communication are kind of cheating the game *grin* trying to get a better position in the game by getting stuff from the higher world to help. Hacks. Anyway, as long as those hacks are not banned, why not use them
What I am not sure about is this 'we are all one and the same higher being'. I think we probably meet with other angelic beings, game with them, decide to play as group, or to meet us in the game sometimes.
What do you think of this?
Love you!
