THE GAME IS UNDERWAY
“Life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with.” – Benjamin Franklin
Welcome to the great game. No power source is needed, batteries aren’t required, and you don’t even need another person to play.
Existence itself is the game.
You may not wish to hear this. After all, you are a living, breathing, human being capable of advanced thought. You have strong emotions, dreams and aspirations. Surely you are not a lowly piece on an imaginary board, right?
Wrong.
The game has been played for as long as we have been a species. At first it was against the forces of nature, a Russian roulette against hunger, disease, the elements, and wild animals. As mankind evolved, so did the game. The moves along the board were now against one another. Some rose to power, others didn’t. Some found fame and fortune while the majority had no such luck. The game continues today, even more insidious and paramount than before.
No matter where you live.
No matter what you do.
No matter who you are.
The situation is the same.
We are pieces in a game that few still realize is being played.
Lost within the world of distractions, focused on immediate goals, and diverted from realizing their inner potentialities, most never reach this conclusion.
But the dreamer does. They yearn for more than simply existing as a mere piece on the board. They have dreams, aspirations, and goals that they intend to transform from an internal desire into an external reality. They will not allow the game to be played out with invisible hands moving them into a position against their will.
