It is harmful because it encourages one to "correct the world" by molding it to an internal mental model of Heaven. Since the task is impossible, a life lived this way suffers to its end, creating negative energy their entire life.

The issue with Tearing Down Games is that you can't tear town THE Infinite Game without also destroying reality. That is, you can't change what IS. It's literally impossible. Only What Will Be.
Show this thread -
"Down with this game." is immature when it comes from the voice of someone who isn't able to tell apart the differences in importance of finite and infinite games. You can't destroy a game until you understand what it's for just like you can't tear down a fence.

If a game's existence is there only because there's literally NO OTHER GAME, then that game is a critical life-line to the players the game supports. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" Now replace Democracy w/ "Current Financial System"

"Money is the worst God except for all the others." This is true. This is true in every situation except for one...when Actual God is there (in whatever form it is).

Yes. The current financial system is NOT the real god. But it seems to be working okayish given its burden. While individual humans can see God, The spirit of Countries are too lumbering to see the light.

To tear down the systems that maintains the relationships between countries is to destroy Money as God for these countries. Within this darkness and without a lifeline to God, countries will fall back to their old God. The worship of themselves.

"People" are just ideas. At every moment the idea of "Me" has some sort of sentiment towards the future. People follow paths in the same was as "Countries"

At the individual level, the sense of "winning" and "losing" is supposed to guide you on your path. When a country exhibits this same understanding, playing to its strengths, it follows the right "path".

A smaller country is more diplomatic for example. A country with fewer resources invests more in education. They don't pick fights where they might "die" as an idea due to lack of faith from the people.

Both the individual as well as the aggregate ideas kept alive by the individual both can get addicted to winning or being the best. This leads to riskier and riskier behavior to prove the ability to "Win" because the identity has been confused for "winning"

Pain no longer points the way. It becomes a masochistic fetish. Each moment in life becomes a desperate competition to see "who can bear the most pain."

It's a game of stupid men butting heads for the most part as the women in childbirth watching from the side can confirm.

There are different ways to Lose your Way based on the different ways we respond to pain and pleasure. Or most commonly... become "numb" or "unresponsive" to.
Show this thread -
Being unresponsive to pleasure means you don't know how to get better, nothing gives you joy anymore. Being unresponsive to pain is stoicism. You don't know what not to avoid.

The depressed floats around with no purpose while the stoic sits statically through mud and storm with no purpose. Their lives revolve around a fetish.

The sadism/numbness/masochism triad represent the 3 main aggressive stances towards life. Positive aggression, negative aggression, and neutral aggression.

Balancing on 3 legs is very difficult. It is often better to lean fully into one. Yet constant balance using energy is necessary to fully purify the Now moment from the corruption of aggression.

The path is "simple" to follow because all you need is humility and acceptance. Yet it's very easy to be led astray. It's very easy to think "That shouldn't be." Which is a violent destructive thought towards Reality/God.

Imagine if someone came up to you, looked you up and down, and said "Yeah.. everything about you is wrong." "This shouldn't Be" is an ultimate insult towards the universe.

As an example of why it's difficult, take the recent controversial show Cuties. It is not actual reality, being a movie and all but it's "close" to reality. E.g. the girls had to learn a dance taught to them by the show producers.

So for many people, there's the idea of "This shouldn't have happened." which feels righteous and judgmental. Yet its effect on reality is yet to be seen. Everyone is only "imagining" all the hidden pedophiles hiding in our communities suddenly feeling empowered.

Theoretically the film producers might be people who believe in the inner goodness of humanity. Perhaps they recognize evil in the world but also recognize the conquering of evil that also happens day in and day out in the world.

Perhaps they are too out of touch? Maybe they live such siloed sheltered lives that they don't consider their actions on the world. "My neighborhood has TONS of pedos, you can't show that kind of information here!"

I dunno. It's just an example of how Something happens in Reality and we just have to accept it and react to what it results in. E.g. we have to react to Reality not to our Imaginations. This is hard because ALL WE HAVE is our imaginations.

Without our "consciousness" this is NO "I" or self. Reacting to reality is incredibly hard because its impossible. You can add details, but the potential for detail is infinite:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox …

So that's one way you can get lost. You want to fight for something. The children. The country. The women. The environment. The company. Something. Anything

One way to shortcut this maze of illusion is to completely purify the competitive winner/loser duality from your mind. You have to literally feel no joy from winning and no shame from losing. This is a sign that you've escaped the game.

You cant test this by imagining yourself winning 100 million or losing all your money and see how your consciousness reacts. Most people will fail this test because Money as God is incredibly powerful.
Show this thread -
A more reasonable test is your reaction winning/losing smaller games. E.g. if you become angry because you lost a computer game, then you're mostly likely a child, at least in THAT specific moment/domain of your life.

If you become really angry that your partner had an affair. Then that's more "reasonable" and "acceptable". The devil whispers "Treat yo self. You deserve to have this feeling. Get angry. Judge. Criticize. Condemn Him. Condemn Her. Condemn yourself."
