Fun

After a complex series of calculations and charts and diagrams (ok, it was just a blank sheet of paper and some markers) I came to a question.  Why would God play.  That is a big 'G; god there, but I mean the all connecting god as well.  At first I thought about all the reasons children play, so they can learn, so they can get stronger and more agile, basically so they can develop as human beings.  Then I thought to myself, that's why parents encourage kids to play.  Kids play because it is fun.  They aren't thinking about their bodies growing or how they are learning or getting better at things.  They are (hopefully) having a great time and lots of fun.  Of course sometimes even kids have disagreements and "mine" transforms into someone being knocked down, but when you think about it, that's really the ego developing.   

God doesn't have parents and, I hope, doesn't have an ego.  So, why would God play?  

I know my answer and I will leave it up to you to find your own, but consider this; when looking at the highly spiritual, those that have been transformed by it, do they look happy?  Do they smile?  Do they laugh?  And despite all the crap going on in the world, in the face of poverty and illness, do they still kind of look like they are having fun?

I got so caught up in telling you how much bliss I felt during my peak experience, pleasure being the measuring point of the form, that I forgot to mention that it was actually a lot of fun.  I guess that kind of seems implied, but maybe it shouldn't be.  Maybe fun is something we should all explore a little bit more.  Maybe fun-linesss is close to Godliness.

Enjoy!!
