Alan Watts - Tell the children that life is a game. It’s all a Hoax.

[@ItApproaches]

"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream..." We don't exist, we are a phantom in a dream, playing out a story. No different then when you lay down and sleep, you find yourself in random world with random characters and random rules and creatures, even a light source such as a light or sun, and the you in the dream is not even you but just a random character. The whole thing's phony. You wake up and realize oh...how silly, how did I fall for such a thing? It was so obviously fake. Yet everyone doesn't realize that's still occurring. You are still in a dream. Repeating the same foolish ignorance over and over.

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

It’s all a dream. You put it nicely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts✨

@@Ms_Scharfenort :)

[@ursmeyer5913]

I don’t agree. I love to replay the cool levels of the game once in a while!

[@ItApproaches]

@@ursmeyer5913 This is simply a mixture of nostalgia and a fear of letting go and moving on. Nothing wrong with that per say, but that is what it is.

[@bwmanhath3770]

I don’t think this is a dream but your right once you see through things and systems you think how did I fall for that in the first place

[@piehound]

Absolutely spot on description of my life.

[@StrongBodymindandspirit]

This was great. Fortunately, I had this realization about the fed up system in my late 20s

[@journeywithin9155]

My belief is that the purpose of life is to live, give, and receive love. To work together to help raise the collective consciousness vibrationally.

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

I like that. Evolution of consciousness. Thanks for sharing your views✨

[@tarawillis3995]

opinion is from those who havent figured it out. Consciousness is individual. Yes purpose but meaning is a little more complicated

[@StrongBodymindandspirit]

Agreed! Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population is so selfish and self fulfilling that at this moment we cannot raise the higher consciousness. This will not happen until people realize this system is stupid and a true world of prosperity only comes through acts of love with expecting nothing in return.

[@alaskapat7247]

No. If you never heard God, you're just hypothesizing. God is particularly particular about whom he saves.

[@alaskapat7247]

It's a game whom he started. Nothing impresses him. Not even your comment.

[@johnkuthe1]

Life is a game! A sick and twisted game! :-) John Kuthe, RN...

[@johnkuthe1]

It's a hoax, too! Do NOT forget this! :-) John Kuthe, RN...

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

Twisted indeed! You understand it. Thanks for watching✨

[@princemahmood1755]

The virtues of choice are our weakness. Krishna said once to a character/person that “a human’s greatest strength will be used against him so try to guide him on the right path” . So be careful of your strength it could be used against you and make you commit evil deeds.

[@windypup8845]

Life used to be all about your family and clan. You loved and lived, but then a few crackpots set themselves up as leaders, drew some invisible lines marking out territories and we became slaves or the enforcers of their rules. This is not how life was meant to be.

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

We are now awake and awakening✨❤️

[@jyrd100]

Love these! Thanks for sharing

Glad you enjoyed it, Debbie🌟

He has to save all his life so that he can spend in his immobile old age for doctors. To see that he has substance and health, the rating is 2. He gets one sheep that is not supported, which supposedly the others should follow to self-destruction. After the small intestine collapses, go raise surgeons (the greatest evil). And this encourages them to roam the land even more.

[@khulekanizuma8570]

Its a game which we are never taught how to play thats why we lose

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

I guess the intention was neither to lose nor win in this game of Life. The participation in the game is the game for the sake of the game. Otherwise we would have been handed a manual on how to play it right. Life is like a dance (in the voice of Alan Watts). Neither right nor wrong. Thanks for sharing your thoughts ✨

[@bentrider]

Maybe.

[@TheUcanlah]

It's a game alright but what more than most don't know is you get to choose the character you play and can change midstream to be whatever the heck you want. Even those who claim to know and teach this premise is clueless. Once you bite into this, you know you're in control. Then try telling others this, calling it a secret or charging a fee. But sadly most won't believe.

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

I like the way you put it: “you can change midstream…”. This gives hope to many who feel stuck to realize that their stories can be changed and life experiences become more pleasant as a result. Thank you for sharing your thoughts✨

[@joeschmoe4573]

It's a cool idea (that you can choose to be anyone). I want it to be true, but I don't really believe it. Haven't really witnessed any miracles. I've tried to change, but I can't seem to get free of past traumas.

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

I get you, Joe. There are no perfect answers to the topic of changing oneself. There is also no one right way to heal past traumas. From my experience, I can say that for some people (and for some reason), the healing, miracle or change they seek happens when they are sick and tired of wanting to heal. My healing came when I gave up and realized I could not change myself. Perhaps, surrender could be a pathway for change when everything else fails. Many blessings to you✨

[@joeschmoe4573]

@@Ms_Scharfenort Thank you, Ms. Scharfenort. I have spent a decent amount of time reading about things like nonduality and practicing "letting go." There were times when I felt like I made some progress but more often I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. What you said reminds me of something Alan Watts said: "The reason you want to be better is the reason you're not." Maybe he was onto something there.

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

Thank you, Joe. It is okay to read and practice. We are all learning. It would have been a lot easier if we were handed a manual on how to live and play this game. I think we are all trying the best we can. Hence, we deserve some compassion and kindness. Perhaps, the moment we quit trying to fix us, we realize that all along we were whole. Hence the topic of surrender. Blessings✨

A horribly tragedy for humanity

[@dwoopie]

Life is a experience but humanity created a world full of thoughts and drama...there is only 1 thing...experience and this is what you are...and experience don,t need words or thought ...its the result of your interaction in this simulation...you are not the body you are not the universe but the eternal glue in between...the result of interaction between both...

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

Life is everything. Thoughts create experience - drama and all. What matters is to remember that we are beyond all of that. Thanks for watching✨

[@dwoopie]

@@Ms_Scharfenort there are 2 types of thoughts ...your thoughts (free thinking) and your ego,s thoughts (forced thinking) ,your thoughts are okay,but you,re ego,s thoughts is something you don,t wanna have....End of your identity and ego means enlightenment...end of forced thinking...end of you...nirvana...in your head...

[@Ms_Scharfenort]

Exactly. We are beyond them all. The freedom to choose (free thinking) what to think. Are you thinking or are you ‘being’ thought? Just as Alan Watts would say: are you living or are you being lived? Freedom from identity to the persona (ego), to know that one is not any of these - that one is beyond all is priceless. This is what many refer to as enlightenment. “Before enlightenment chop wood, after enlightenment chop wood” - according to a Zen master. Thanks for your perspectives✨. They are appreciated.

[@christineholung7826]

You now with your whatever accent. What is the solution? You obviously have posed some questions. Will you answer?

[@markg4776]

The answer is reperations.
