The main reason that I chose the Game of Life analogy to be the central theme of this book is because it is the best way to explain in words, the extraordinary situation that we find ourselves in. It also helps to illustrate what we are, where we are, and why we are here. But as I explained earlier, anything that can be put into words is not the truth.

This natural functioning has an inherent intelligence that is beyond ‘normal’ human understanding. A person’s mind is far too congested with beliefs, opinions, and the distractions of life, to even recognize that this intelligence exists. It’s only after their false layers have been removed, that the reality and pureness of this intelligence can be recognized and experienced
