None of This is Real: A Guide
There are two types of game: finite and infinite. What matters is why we play, the rules we employ and how we treat one another. Only one of these can produce losers. We should stop playing those.
Yesterday, during a multi-hour meditation, I reached a vividly altered state (or two, or six) and upon waking, spent a half-hour processing my thoughts, dictating and thumb-typing them while they were still fresh in my mind.
The first thing I jotted down was the following:
Reality
Definition A: A game by whose rules the players agree to abide. If a perception — or a perception-fueled act — falls outside of the adopted rules, it is thereby considered unreal, and therefore unsanctioned, and earmarked for corrective action, and erasure.
Flaunting the rules publicly is often punishable by incarceration, immobilization, and/or application of a drug protocol regimen that aims to forcibly change the dissenter or renegade’s mindset, in order to achieve complicity with the accepted rules.
Only then is he or she allowed to return to play.
