The Game of God: Recovering Your True Identity
Oprah: "A great book about God" Tim Allen: "If you really have your shit together, read this book." (from his bestseller, I'm Not Really Here) Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "Someone has finally made sense of the purpose of human life." |
The Game of God in a nutshell: The universe is a God-class amusement park. You and everything you see, the entire cosmos, is God in a state of amnesia. The universe is a God-class game. The whole point is experience. Every experience, from the most sublime to the most horrible, is necessary for the game. There is nothing that is not God. This is a very Taoist philosophy: without death life would have no meaning. Without losing winning is nothing. And cartoons too! Every page of text has a corresponding cartoon. |
Has science killed God? Is there a way to reconcile rationality and belief in God?
The Game of God offers a way of thinking about the universe that bringsscience and God together.
The theory: the universe is a game in which God forgets His-Her-Its identity and, in the process of playing, remembers who She-He-It is. Evolution is the process of God awakening from amnesia into remembrance of true identity.
We are not separate creatures who are victims of existence, nor the playthings of a deity who languishes in comfort while we suffer. We are God in disguise.
There is no losing. In many traditional religions there is the belief that the vast majority of humans lose—they have not chosen the proper belief that will take them to heaven when they die. According to The Game of God, every life is equally valuable because God wants to experience everything.
The Game of God is about a great deal more than God. It’s about the evolution of the physical universe, psychology, personality development, compassion, love, and awakening.
The metaphysics of The Game of God is based on logic. The mechanics of survival are examined—from the fundamental particles of the physical universe to the psychological dynamics that control us. This logical approach extends to the examination of love and acceptance. Love isn’t some nebulous romantic feeling; it’s the optimum state of survival. Love is God-consciousness surfacing in our awareness.
Most human suffering arises from the mistaken belief that who we really are is our personality, or “ego-identity.” When we identify with our ego-identity, we must survive as that ego-identity, which in this universe means operating from flight/fight behavior. Our lives are a constant battle to perpetuate a mistaken identity. We are always either flighting from reality or fighting against it.
Love and transcendence lie in the cessation of survival behavior, in the acceptance of reality.
Love is the experience of unconditional acceptance of what is.
The unconditional acceptance of what is is the way to win the Game of God.
