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.

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."

The creation of a "good" and a "bad" is the basic cutting action necessary in every dualistic thought. Once one decides one is "good", then demons magically appear from infinite portals and life becomes a game of maintaining this game of "I am Good" and above you all.

You can't balance between the elements of Earth/Water/Fire as Air if you avoid any of them. You can't say "Fire is bad because burning is bad!!"
