The Spirit of Play

In many esoteric texts we find references to the spirit of play amongst celestial forces. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that human existence is the result of the gods at play. This seems to me not the anthropocentric musings of an antique mind, but rather an awareness that play is an essential element of the universe becoming conscious. It is certainly not difficult to see that much grief in the world is the direct result of people taking themselves way too seriously.

We find ourselves at a moment in planetary evolution where humanity has tied itself in a knot. Untying the knot which is our self is the necessary step to untying the Gordian Knot of human opacity. Without the celestial spirit of play this is impossible.

Good will and playfulness . . . bring it on.
