    I’ve been saying this for years!
    I always posed the question to those who complained about the system ( which I don’t agree with as well), why don’t we all just stop going to work??
    As simply as he put it, it’s because people are not ready and many do like the competition even if it means hating your life

    I made a pac with myself that I would NEVER work for a company more then a few months. Being an actor, it was perfect. I worked in every field I could to learn as much as I can, and don't regret anything. I am not rich, far from it. But I am wealthy from the knowledge and graditude I gained from others.. So many. Including Mr. Watts..

    To play the game and know it's a game is quite fascinating.
    He doesn't take it seriously, but he isn't shallow and frivolous either.
    All the roles are played by the joker.
    😂😂😂😂
    All positive and negative are paired.
    The positive is always in the process of overcoming the negative. Winner and loser must be paired. It's transactional.
    But if the negative always overcomes the positive, the game won't continue. It would be a tragedy!

    Reality is invisible, but stripes are put on so people can see it like a zebra.
    God is invisible because of his self forgetfulness.
    The world is visible because it's a game.
    Therefore, we are all forgetful God playing on Earth like jokers.😇🤡😇🤡😇🤡

    “The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun… for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride.” -Bill Hicks

    I choose not to play the game. Especially if it involves other people.
    I had a dream about "an end".
    In a live raft with others struggling to have rational thoughts. I saw a dog trapped along the river banks before we were about to go over a waterfall.
    Instead of wasting time trying to communicate to the others all in hysteria to bail.
    I just jumped to go for the dog an left the people behind.
    I choose to play the game of life.
    Not the game of drama...

    So.... I had premonitions about the majority of the more intense aspects of my life long before they happened. I thought they were just weird dreams caused by my subconscious mind. They were that and more.
    I wish I could tell someone about the true extent of my premonitions and clairvoyance. It's haunted menall my life until I finally gave up on trying to make sense of it. what I can say is that consciousness and SpaceTime have a different relationship than we seem to understand it's not straight up causal in one direction.

    No man can stand outside the game theorem of all of life. that is absurd. those "outsiders" are indeed very key players.
    Expansion of the individual guiding from spirit first, then to the mind and onwards to matter opens up to a greater synthesis of the "rules" if you will. the game breaks down when you see that the construct of games themselves is an order served to us by what we perceive as a "game". There is not enough subtlety for games within the bounds of the layers of infinity x

    Correct. And we get to play infinite roles for an infinite amount of time! It's the greatest fun park of all time. Our ancestors created it long ago. Given how quickly our technology has evolved in just a few years....do you really think it didnt evolve until 100,000s of years into our evolution? No...we a far more advance than what it appears. What exists outside the game. Outside the construct is far beyond anything you can imagine. ;-)
