We are always in the Game, no exceptions, from the moment we are born (potentially even before that) til the moment we die. But what is this thing I'm calling it Game? And why do you say I can't get out of it?
The Game creates our experience of Life, moment to moment, non-stopping. The Game even creates Us and who we think we are. All gets created in the Game and accordingly to what gets created, we will experience it.
Some of us might have insights about the Game and for moments they can believe they stepped out of the Game, but that is still the Game. Everything is the Game. Writing this post is me playing me writing a post in the Game, through the Game.
Why knowing this can help me?
By knowing that I'm always in the Game, there is no absolute Truth, even what I see to be the Game might not be, but that is again still the Game. There is always the Game being played with whatever settings I have confirmed and with whatever character I've chosen. These settings and characters are made up and available as long as they can serve me, once they don't, I can pick other settings and other characters.
The space of solutions for the Game is infinite and that gives us the freedom to explore without needing to hold on to anything because there is no absolute truth (just conceptually), what seems to be available is a "playground" that extends beyond reach until the day that all "lives" are spent and the Game ends as so do we.
The way you play the Game is up to you, the you that got created as part of the Game, but as I see more options in the Game more freedom arises and with that comes a feeling of being grateful to be part of the Game, not the creator, not the Game, just part of it.
