GAMES

Modern human beings are obsessed with Games. So many games, and so little reality—few things going any deeper than the topsoil, and becoming tore up when the winds get strong.

Games are generally repetitious—nothing ever changes—and once you’ve learned how to play your favorite one, the challenge to continue playing loses its draw.  It no longer has any deeper stimulation—beyond not knowing where or when it will end.

Sports and Chess are the only games that seem to be any real benefit for the mind and the body.

Emotional games are downright dangerous —for all they do for us is hurt, and drive us crazy—and while we’re in the middle of the game, there is no space, or time to heal.  (If you feel some one is tearing your soul apart, then you’ve got a Game Player on your hands.)

Computer games—electronic games—are very addictive, and fill the brain with false light and excess wattage.  Human beings don’t need more wattage added to them—they are wired to the extreme, and the complex charge of our system is ongoing.
(We could live forever, if we chose.) 
Excess wattage from an electronic generator zaps us, so limit your obsession to monitors.
Children are still growing and their brain is extremely open.  Be careful of what gets poured into them—be careful of what you pour into them.

Sports games are great, for they push the body’s energy and breath into the air, and fuel its inner fire.  Even if a person is not drawn to warmth, they still like to feel the fire.
 
Chess is a wonderful mind trip, but even that one is still just a game.

Be aware of how often you play games—which ones they are, and if they are challenging your brain, or not.  I love games—especially the ones with numbers and letters.  But if games become your main focus in life, don’t forget a great life takes work.
