Game of life

For once, let’s not go into the whole mind-soul explanation. For this time, let’s focus on the here and now, on this moment, this reality, this existence, this life. The life we have now, however much we may want to call it an illusion, is one that would never come back again. We may have another hundred lives ahead of us, or maybe even none. But this one, the life in which you are you right now, is a one-shot game. Mess it up and you’ve lost your hand.
Play your cards well and you’ll walk away with pride intact.
Sure, there will be some scary moments along the way. Aren’t there always? But we forget the immense power we possess to mould our lives into what we want them to be. We have the ability to create and destroy. Yet, so many only learn the self-destruct function instead of the co-creator one.
Why though? Hasn’t “life” given us enough examples of always giving a second chance? New opportunities always follow closed doors, the tears are inevitably replaced by a smile and a last kiss has always preceded a first kiss.
So sure, you’ll argue and fight your way through the end of a relationship, cry yourself silly, scream, shout, rant and rave, hide in a corner, sulk, moan and groan. And then, guess what? The universe creates its little miracle. Before you know it, there a new face in your life, a new soul your heart beats for and moonlight kisses to gently wipe away those tears.
And with its traditional fanfare and trumpets blowing, those girls in their cheerleader skirts and pompoms are holding your name up in the lights because You have truly emerged the star, the Victorious One. The one life never did manage to defeat. You’re the cheered and admired one who did believe in second chances, or third, or fourth, or twenty-fifth chances even. And you do know why the universe gave you all those chances, don’t you? Because you believed it was your total and absolute right to have those chances. You never gave up even for a second. And the universe, in all its glory, always, always gives back to you exactly what you believe in.
So don’t waste your chances believing that you’re not entitled them. Remember that this is a game after all, and you’re still a player, you still have your hand, and you know what else? Unbeknownst to all others, you hold the trump card. The belief card. It’s yours to play whenever you feel the need to, or want to, or even just for kicks. It’s your card. And if you look at your hand closely enough, you’ll see that you have the Belief card in multiples.
So keep playing your game, keep believing, keep winning. You’ll get exactly what you think you deserve to get. And you are you, after all. Surely you deserve nothing less than the best!

09.09.09

It's the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year. It's also Metro day here in Dubai, but that's another story for another time.

So, all these 9s... They don't just happen for no reason. Nothing ever happens for no reason. This blog entry, you reading it, life, the universe, cosmos, people, plants, animals, numbers.... there's a reason behind everything.

So what is it about all these 9s in our life today? The angels connected for a chat this morning. Beautiful beautiful majestic angels in every shape and size. I asked them why all these 9s, why now, what are they trying to tell us?

That it's the beginning of an ending, they told me. Individually, locally, globally and universally, a chapter is ending, an era's coming to a close, and today, they said, marks the start of that end.

And you know what endings signify, don't you? Nothing can end without something new beginning. If the new doesn't begin, there will be a gap of nothingness, a black hole of sorts. But even a black hole is a something. For it to have a name, a shape, a form, a concept, makes it something. It's alive. It's aware. It just is. It's Something.

Nothing on the otherhand means just that. Nothing. And with nothing, there is nothing. And with no thing, there is no being. With no being, there is no you, or me, or us or them. And yet here we are. We're all here. You, me, us, them, him, her... We're all right here, a screaming reminder that it's not nothing. And in order for the Nothingness to cease, it needs to be replaced with a Something. That something is a new beginning. Our little world is seeing a brand new chapter in its history.

The angels say we're at the beginning of the end. But since matter, time and space is all an illusion anyway, what beginning, what end are they referring to? More conversation with the angels reveal thoughts of transformation.

We're inching out of one phase and sliding into the next. We're in the process of a transformation, they say. A universal transformation. A morphing of the old us, into the new us. A morphing which begins right here, right now, today. Slowly sliding forward to a universal awareness of a newness.

Of what though? What's ending in your life, what new are you moving towards? Are you in the process of walking out of one doorway and in through another? Will you remain You, or will a whole new You emerge? Is this a rest period before you make your grand appearance, or are you still in the last act of the play? Has your new life begun? Are you on its threshold? Are you excited? Nervous? Apprehensive? Cautious? Carefree? Rebellious? Or are you just YOU? Minus the layers, without the frills, the masks and the blinders. Just you, raw, pure and ready to embrace all thought, follow the footsteps of peace and journey towards love, a new beginning, new hope for the Earth. New opportunities of ascension, higher vibrations than ever before, an awakening of the soul-mind, an acceptance of the bigger picture...

So go ahead, take a bow, soak in the adoration, lap up the applause, cause this drama is just about to end, and you, the star, are moving on to an entirely new production.
