Phase 1, Phase 2, And "The Human Game"
On this page, I'll give you a brief introduction and overview of the terms "Phase 1," "Phase 2" and "The Human Game." If you want more information and to go deeper into the concepts introduced below, please visit the About Page on this blog.
The premise is simple. Who you really are is what I call an Infinite Being - a magnificent being who lives in a constant state of limitless power, abundance, wisdom and True Joyfulness.
Your natural state is also one of having an unlimited desire and ability to express yourself creatively. A popular phrase for describing this is "We are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience." I call who you really are, your Infinite Being self, your "Expanded Self."
Coming from the expanded and infinite state I just described, you decided you wanted to play a game - for the sheer fun, pleasure and challenge of playing. That game is called "The Human Game" and it's a game that's played entirely in Consciousness - in "the mind" of your Expanded Self if you will. I realize you may have always believed the human experience is a lot more serious than a game, but the human experience being a game is a key component of the model this blog is sharing with you.
Like any other game, The Human Game has its own set of unique rules, regulations and structure which I'll discuss in a moment. I'm fond of comparing the mechanics of creating and playing The Human Game in Consciousness to the making of a movie and often call the human experience a "Total Immersion Movie Experience."
I'm a big fan of the TV and movie series called Star Trek. In that show, there's a concept called "The Prime Directive." The Prime Directive is a core principle that guides the actions of the crew of the Starship Enterprise as they explore space.
The Human Game has a Prime Directive too. In Phase 1 of The Human Game, the Prime Directive is to fully explore the experience of limitation and restriction - to explore what happens when you limit the unlimited power, True Joy, infinite ability to express creatively, infinite wisdom, and abundance that's your natural state.
As a result, The Human Game is designed to be jam packed with all sorts of limiting and restrictive ideas and experiences. Concepts like death, poverty, loss, fear, pain, shame, struggle and sorrow have been created in The Human Game like hurdles on a track.
After having the limited and restrictive experiences in Phase 1 of The Human Game, your Expanded Self starts nudging you into Phase 2 of The Game. At that point, you begin to feel "incomplete," like you're missing something. You start looking for answers and a higher meaning to your life. You may have been curious to know The Truth before, but now there's an urgency, a need.
At that point, you begin a quest to re-discover The Truth and reclaim the infinite power, wisdom, abundance and True Joy that's your natural state. At that point, The Human Game really becomes an extraordinary adventure for you. It always was to The Real You, but now it feels that way to you as the Player too.
The design of game, then, is for you to play The Human Game, experience severe limitation in the creation of Consciousness called "3 Dimensional Reality" in Phase 1, then eventually jump over the hurdles and back into full awareness - and a consistent direct experience - of your True infinite Nature, which is what "Phase 2" is all about.
