THE GAME

Once upon a time there was a SUPER GENIUS who

decided to design and run a VIRTUAL REALITY
GAME. As he developed THE GAME, he found he
had to develop a set of rules in order to contain the
PLAYERS OF THE GAME. He decided to keep the
rules of the game invisible, and that the players
would have to discover the rules for themselves as
they played the game out over the course of their
lives. He made up two primary sets of rules. The
first he called NATURAL LAW, and these actually
contained the players of the game, and forced them
to obey the rules at all times. The second set of rules
he called SPIRITUAL, and these rules ALSO forced
the players of the game into specific controls,

2
The Game

although the players of the game would not realize

it.

He decided that the players of the virtual reality

game would actually have to be born into the game,
grow up in the game, live in the game, and at the
end, die. At the end of the game, each PLAYER,
when HE/SHE DIED, would see a big sign in red
letters, and it read, “ALL IS VANITY, YOU LOSE.”
and then they would slide downward to a pit of fire.
This sign was kept from all players of the game, as
was the pit of fire, and would only appear just after
their death.

Now the creator of THE GAME had an objective

which he decided to keep a hidden mystery from the
players of the game. The real intent, and the real
object of the game was totally different than simply
playing the game. And thus it was that the game was
played. The PLAYERS were born into the game,
grew up in the game, and LIVED in the game. The
parents, by trial and error, figured out most of the
rules of the game, and handed them down to their
3
The Game

children. In time, there were vast libraries that

contained all of the wisdom and the knowledge that
had been learned over the years of playing the game.
There were many varied and differing opinions as to
the rules of the games, but there was a certain
agreement to some specific rules. One of them was
called the GOLDEN RULE. It became one of the
supreme laws of the game, but many paid no
attention to it, or perverted its meaning into “HE
WHO HAS THE GOLD RULES.”

If you played the game by THE RULES, you could

amass great wealth and fame and be a great success.
If you violated the rules of the game, however
invisible they were, you might make momentary
gain, but in the end you would suffer loss. The vast
majority of players in THE GAME did not play it
very well. They usually ended up their lives with
little to show for it, and only a FEW seemed to figure
out the invisible laws of wealth, health and
happiness. No matter, the players of the game all
played the game as well as they could, and all hoped
for the very best.
4
The Game

There were those that began to wonder about the

game itself, and if there was someone who designed
it all, and what was his motive for it, and what was
the object of the game. There arose huge groups of
players who sought to give the answers to these
questions, and they developed philosophies,
theologies, religions and governmental forms as
they experimented with the invisible laws that
controlled them. “If you play the game this way, you
will win” they would all say, hoping to win converts
to their systems of thought. The various theologies
all gave the creator of the game a different name, but
alas, they were all just playing the game. Each group
had a different set of laws, and a different
philosophy, and they pitted themselves one against
the other to see who could “win” and who would
“lose.” None had any answers they could prove,
they just had ABSTRACT CONCEPTS to go by. So
they all played the game. They all sought to find out
more about the rules of winning. Not one of them, it
seemed, ever stopped to realize there was more to
the game than just playing it. They ALL KNEW,
5
The Game

from experience, that at the end of the game came

DEATH. They watched as all the PLAYERS TO
THE GAME DIED. Now they did not know WHAT
HAPPENED after they died, but they DID KNOW
that no one got out of the game ALIVE.

Now the CREATOR OF THE GAME looked down

upon all of the PLAYERS. He watched them as they
all played the game, lived and died and SAW THE
BIG RED SIGN: “ALL IN VANITY, YOU LOSE,”
AND THEY WENT DOWN INTO THE PIT. It did
not matter if they had played the game with great
success or with no success whatever. It did not
matter if they had been good or evil. It did not matter
whatsoever what they had done while they played
the game. The creator of the game had designed it
that way. If all you did was play the game by the
rules, you lost. You lost big time, and you lost
forever! So then, no matter if you died with trillions
of dollars, or a pauper, of you died an angel of light
or an evil monster, no matter if you played by all of
the rules, or you violated them, you lost. One and
all, he found, were at the end, seeing the big red sign:
6
The Game

“all is vanity, you lose,” and going down to the pit

of fire.

Now the CREATOR had placed within the game

itself, an escape hatch, and if the players of the game
found it, they would escape the big red sign, and not
go to the pit of fire. But only a few, it seemed, were
finding the escape hatch. It never dawned upon the
minds of those PLAYING THE GAME that
PLAYING THE GAME ITSELF might not be the
ACTUAL OBJECT. It never dawned upon them
that THE REAL OBJECT OF THE GAME was
NOT TO PLAY IT, BUT RATHER TO EXTRACT
ONESELF FROM IT. It never dawned upon them
at all, that no matter what their philosophy,
theology, religion, education or governmental form,
no matter what group they belonged to, that they
were still players of the game.

There were great wars among the players of the

game. There was much suffering and murders
committed by the players as they fought it out to
7
The Game

prove by whose set of rules the game was to be

played. They were called the mindset wars. Each
group had a mindset, and attempted to force their
rules upon all of the others. But all was vanity,
because all of the wars, be they over philosophy, or
theology, or religion, or governmental form were
simply methods and rules to play the game by. And
so, no matter which belief structure they embraced,
they were still just playing the game, and at the end,
they lost, for playing the game itself was never the
objective.

Now there were six major spirits that controlled the

players of the game. These SPIRITS were so
powerful that they BLINDED the PLAYERS OF
THE GAME, and caused them walk in a state of
DARKNESS. All of the players of the game, no
matter who they were, or what they believed,
walked in this darkness, but they were not aware of
it, nor when warned about it believed it. Not only
did they refuse to believe in these spirits, THEY
BECAME ANGRY AND KILLED THOSE that
claimed it was a fact.
8
The Game

The chief spirit placed over the players of the game

was named the SPIRIT OF LIE, because the virtual
reality game itself was played upon a place called
the “land of the lie.” Then came THE SPIRIT OF
SELF LOVE. Under him was THE SPIRIT OF
MAMMON. These three were the chief rulers over
all the players of the game, but the players were not
aware of that, nor ever would be, unless they found
the escape hatch. Under them were three other
SPIRITS, called FACT, FICTION and OPINION.
These three sub-spirits argued among themselves as
to who was the greatest of them. Now although the
players of the game were controlled by these SIX
SPIRITS, it was possible to BREAK THE HOLD
FROM THEM. It required GREAT DESIRE and
long term GREAT FAITH to accomplish that. Not
only that, if this desire came upon a player, the
creator would help that player, and send protection
to guard that player from being harmed by the
controlling spirits of the game. It was CREATED
THAT WAY BY THE CREATOR OF THE
GAME. It helped him in his REAL OBJECTIVE.
9
The Game

The creator’s object, however, had nothing to do

with playing the game under the control of these six
major spirits, and millions of lessor spirits that
would inhabit, harass and oppress the players. He
had set the whole thing up to find out something else
out: who, among all of the players of game, would
stop and ask a simple question: who designed the
game, and what was the object of it all? What was
the true purpose behind it? And once they had
asked the question, who, among them all, of the
groups of philosophy, theology and religions that
did ask these questions, would have the desire to
search out, with all of their mind, heart and soul the
answer? Who among them all, would extricate
themselves from the game? Who among those,
would turn their back upon the spirits of Lie, Self-
Love, Mammon, Fact, Fiction and Opinion, and
search until he had found the spirit of “Truth”? Who
among them would sacrifice it all to search out the
most fundamental question of all?

10
The Game

Hidden from all of the players of the game was the

chief of all spirits. His name was Truth. In fact, he
was the creator of the entire thing. And so, the
object of the virtual reality game was not to play
the game at all, but rather, to search out, with all
diligence, and with all the power the players had,
the spirit of truth. To search him out, to find him,
to meet him, and to learn the secret behind the whole
game. He acquitted them, and gave them a new
authority, and sent them back into the game to warn
others. Few would listen. They mocked the winners.

Those in the philosophies, religions, and theologies

became angry at the WINNERS, for the winners
never had any credentials in these fields. Further, the
winners told everyone how SIMPLE IT WAS, even
if DIFFICULT, and that angered the leaders greatly,
for they had developed very complex systems of
thought control and ritual to gain power over the
other players in order to manipulate them for their
own gain. They had developed positions of great
authority, and strutted around in long ROBES,
impressing the other players. Often, if they could not
11
The Game

silence the few winners, they would kill them. By

this method they kept their positions of power,
wealth and great influence.

But no matter what these leaders said or did against

the winners, the spirit of truth protected the winners,
even in their deaths. They would NEVER SEE the
big red sign that said: “ALL IS VANITY, YOU
LOSE.” The winners of the game were given the
right to enter into the next phase of Truth’s creative
efforts. No mind, nor any heart within the players
could conceive of the wonders and the beauty the
creator had in store for them that found him,
communed with him, and joined in union with him.

The Spirit of Truth was filled with wrath against the

leaders of the religions, theologies, philosophies and
governments, because of how they treated the
winners. He vowed that one day, at their death they
would wish they had never ever been players at all.
They had a very special place set aside for them.
They would have a long, long time to wish they had
never come out of their mother’s wombs. In fact, the
12
The Game

winners warned them of this, but it only got the

leaders all the angrier, so when the punishment
came, it was well deserved.

So it was that the players of game had to fight the

good fight of faith to overcome the game, after they
had discovered there was more to the game than just
playing it. They had to overcome the spirits that
controlled the game. They had to overcome the
Spirit of Lie, of Self-Love and Mammon, which
were the CHIEF and MOST POWERFUL of all the
SPIRITS. They had to overcome the SPIRITS OF
OPINION, and the lessor spirits under him of BIAS,
PREJUDICE and such like. They had to
OVERCOME THE SPIRIT OF FACT, and his
lessor spirits, called THEORY and WE BELIEVE.
And they had to overcome the spirit of FICTION,
which many times posed as FACT and REALITY.
The SPIRITS WOULD ARGUE AMONG
THEMSELVES AS TO WHO WAS THE MOST
POWERFUL AMONG THEM. It was all very
CONFUSING to the PLAYERS OF THE GAME.
Even so, the creator of the game had built within
13
The Game

each player, the power to overcome the spirits that

controlled the game.

There was only one way that any player could

“overcome” the ruling spirits. Surprisingly, it had
nothing to do with being good, or thinking right, or
speaking right. It was not based upon good works,
bad works, or any other type of effort, except one. It
was not a game were those who were the most moral
or ethical won, nor those of high intelligence, nor
those who amassed great wealth! It had nothing to
do with anything except one thing: the all-
consuming desire of searching out the creator with
all of their hearts, souls and minds. It was, as a
matter of fact, a war between desire to find truth and
the spirits of the game, who ganged up to prevent
any player from searching truth out.

And so, the creator of the game looked down upon

all of the players. He soon discovered that the huge
majority, the vast, vast majority never realized there
was anything more to the game than to just play it.
They were totally blinded by the spirits who
14
The Game

controlled the game, and never gave any thought to

anything other than “winning” at the game. And so
he decided to send into the game some players, who
would warn the people of their impending doom if
all they did was play the game. He called them
prophets.

Now the players in the game did not like these so

called prophets. They were very NEGATIVE
INDIVIDUALS, and were quickly called fanatics,
weidos, right-wingers, insane and off the wall idiots.
The governments quickly moved to imprison and
silence them, for they felt that these prophets were
POLITICAL ENEMIES OF THE STATE, and that
they had to be silenced in order for the elite who
ruled over the world of the players could retain their
positions of power. And so, one by one, the players
killed the prophets, but their words had been written
down and preserved by the faithful. And in the
WORDS OF THE PROPHETS, their word could
never be changed, done away with, or altered in any
way. They stood a mute testimony against all the
players of the game. Their words gave the players
15
The Game

ZERO OPTIONS. It did not matter what the players

thought or did about the words. The WORDS
THEMSELVES were truth, and would stand against
any and all attacks. They put all of the players into a
box, and they closed the lid on the box. Only a few
of the players recognized this.

The CREATOR OF THE GAME had sent them to

tell the PLAYERS the ACTUAL TRUTH OF
THEIR PREDICAMENT, THE ACTUAL
REALITY OF THE GAME, and that those words
would forever stand. It did not matter to the
CREATOR what the players thought or did to the
WORD. It had come to them from
INTELLIGENCE far greater than the players, from
the CREATOR HIMSELF, and HIS WORD WAS
THE LAW of all that there was IN THE GAME.
Thus, although if 100% of the PLAYERS
REJECTED IT, it would not have mattered, for
THEIR ACTUAL REALITY was not under their
control, and their opinions, biases, thoughts, beliefs,
theologies, philosophies were on no consequence
whatsoever. Reality controlled it all.
16
The Game

Thus it was that the SPIRIT OF LIE observed all of

this, and decided to send in his own prophets, who
came up with ALTERNATIVE BELIEF
STRUCTURES, who also spoke what appeared to
be great truths and wisdom. So the players,
depending upon their own personal likes, dislikes,
biases and opinions would flock to these so called
prophets and declare them the real truth. Many got
confused over all of these conflicting signals and
most of them rejected all of it, and just kept playing
the game. They continued to die, war and fight and
find the BIG RED SIGN: YOU LOSE, ALL IS
VANITY," and then slid down into the pit of fire
and remorse.

But the creator of the game foreknew what the

SPIRIT OF LIE would do, and he had preplanned to
send to the players OF THE GAME a PROPHET of
ALL PROPHETS. Not only that, but the creator had
anointed this prophet with special powers, powers
unlike anything the players of the game had ever
seen before. This prophet was the greatest prophet
17
The Game

the PLAYERS would ever encounter during the

TIMELINE OF THE GAME. The creator
determined that THIS PROPHET would be a
HOTLINK between HIMSELF and the PLAYERS.
ALL WHO CAME TO THIS PROPHET, by
seeking Him out, and who BELIEVED UPON HIM
AND HIS WORDS, which would be l00% TRUE,
IN ALL ASPECTS, would be EXEMPT from
seeing the BIG RED SIGN. Not only that, THE
PROPHET HIMSELF would be an open conduit of
TRUTH to all who came to Him. If they came to
HIM, then they also came to the CREATOR. He
would combine in ONE, under this prophet, those of
the BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE and THOSE
THAT CAME TO HIM.

Great preparations were made for this coming

prophet of prophets. The prophets that came before
spoke of the one coming. It was all in their words.
The fact that no one paid any attention to it was of
no consequence. THE PROPHET WAS COMING.
And in HIS COMING, the creator REVERSED
ALL OF THE NORMAL RULES. That which was
18
The Game

considered GREAT among the PLAYERS OF THE

GAME the PROPHET WOULD DEBASE. That
which was considered to be base by the players, the
PROPHET would HOLD IN HIGH ESTEEM. Thus
the prophet came at a time and place least expected.
He had no money, position, power. He was of no
repute, his appearance comely. He was the opposite
of what the players wanted or expected. They were
looking for someone to esteem, a GREAT LEADER
OF ALL LEADERS. They wanted someone to
VINDICATE THEIR POSITION, TO PROVE
THEIR BELIEF STRUCTURES CORRECT. To
appoint them as the rulers over the players of the
game. BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE.

Now the creator knew that if he sent this prophet

into the game that this was the final act to get the
attention of the players. He also knew that by
sending him, it would seal the fate of the entire
group of game players for all time. Whatever this
prophet said, as with the others, could not be altered,
changed or suspended. THE GAME WAS

19
The Game

PLAYED UNDER THE CREATORS LAW. It was

absolute.

Now the players of game had somehow come to the

very strange conclusion that WHAT THEY
BELIEVED, and that what their BIASES AND
PREJUDICES were, actually shaped REALITY.
Although they themselves could not even create one
single hydrogen atom out of nothing, or bring forth
anything from nothing, they declared themselves
GODS, WHO ACTUALLY SHAPED THEIR
OWN REALITY.

Thus CREATION WAS SUBSERVIENT TO

THEM, and not them subservient to the
CREATION. It never dawned upon their minds that
REALITY IS, and that what they thought about it
was of no consequence whatever. That it was not the
PLAYERS who created the game and the rules, but
rather the CREATOR HIMSELF. And that is was
not their job to PLAY THE GAME, but rather to
FIND THE TRUE REALITY BEHIND IT. AND
EXTRACT THEMSELVES FROM IT.
20
The Game

And so it was that when the PROPHET came, the

entrenched belief systems had no time for him. He
was a major threat to their established power
structure. The GOVERNMENT HATED HIM,
They witnessed many miracles, but dismissed them
as TRICKS, AS SLIGHT OF HAND, AS LIES.
They listened to HIS WORDS, but claimed they
were of no consequence, they had heard all the
WORDS BEFORE. One of the government leaders
stood before him with a sneer and asked 'WHAT IS
TRUTH?" WHO ARE YOU?" but the prophet was
silent. They spit in his face, they mocked him, they
flogged him, and then they put him to death. ALL
OF THEM TOGETHER DID IT. The creator
looked down upon the players. HE WAS WROTH
WITH GREAT ANGER, BUT CONTAINED
HIMSELF. The TIMELINE WAS NOT RUN OUT.
IT HAD ANOTHER 2000 YEARS TO GO.

The creator was astounded by the players UTTER

STUPIDITY. He could not fathom their PRIDE
AND ARROGANCE. He could not understand their
21
The Game

BLINDNESS to reality and truth. So they destroyed

their HOTLINK to HIMSELF and thus sealed their
fate for eternity. THEY WOULD SEE THE BIG
RED SIGN: “ALL 1S VANITY, YOU L0SE.” And
there was nothing he could do to stop it, nor would
he concern himself with it. He had done all that
could be done. IF ALL OF THE COMBINED
PROPHETS COULD NOT WAKE THEM TO
TRUE REALITY, they would have to suffer the
consequences. “Why do you seek after DEATH,
when I can bring you LIFE?" He asked through his
prophets. No one answered. They were too busy
playing the game. THE TIME LINE WAS
CLOSING. SOON THE ENTIRE GAME WOULD
BE OVER. THERE WERE SO FEW WINNERS.

Unknown to the players, except for a few, the

PROPHET was more than a prophet. FAR MORE.
But the intense hatred for what he had brought with
him was lost upon the majority of the players. Upon
the death of the prophet, his followers ran for cover,
to flee the wrath of the government. They hid among
the caves and in secret places.
22
The Game

But something very strange happened. There came

a cry from a few of the players that said their
PROPHET ROSE FROM THE DEAD, and
SHOWED HIMSELF OPENLY TO THEM. He
was ALIVE, and he had claimed he WAS ALIVE
FOREVER MORE. He had taught them that if they
would COME TO HIM, and SEARCH HIM OUT,
he would lead them to the truth BEHIND THE
GAME ITSELF. He would lead them to the creator
of the game, and furthermore, that HE WOULD
GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, and they would
BEAT THE CLOCK TIMING THE GAME.

Now the authorities quickly moved to suppress this

claim, and branded it a hoax, and that anyone who
believed any such thing was insane. Nevertheless,
the word spread quickly, and fires of belief began to
spread among the players. Soon the leaders of the
players began to meet to discuss how they could
stamp out this new threat to their authority. They
settled upon PERSECUTION, TORTURE, AND
DEATH. The more they killed the players that
23
The Game

believed, the more the influence of the Prophet

grew. It was like throwing gasoline on a fire. They
then decided that INFILTRATION AND
SUBVERSION OF THE WORDS OF THE
PROPHET was the answer. If they could slowly
alter the message, they could regain control. And
thus they did as was decided, and they attempted to
destroy the word, and were very successful in their
war. They did not openly oppose this prophet, they
simply SUBVERTED HIS WORDS, changed the
meanings, and lead the vast majority away from
what he had said. By this method they were able to
destroy faith in THE WORD, and thus insure that
the vast majority of players would never extricate
themselves from the game and would just play it and
die and see the big red sign.

And thus it was as the timeline began to run out that

the entire world was united against this prophet. It
soon became against the law to even mention his
name. It was made a CRIMINAL ACT to be a
FOLLOWER of this prophet, or to claim any of his
WORDS to the other players. It was considered an
24
The Game

ACT OF TERRORISM, as SEDITION AGAINST

THE STATE to claim by any method that this
PROPHET was THE HOLDER OF TRUTH, and
that HIS WORDS were LAW AND REALITY. The
governments of the players gathered together, and
the KINGS, and RULERS CONSPIRED AGAINST
THE CREATOR AND HIS ANOINTED
PROPHET, and they formed a large supranational
government to rule all the players of the game, and
then they came up with all sorts of laws to DETAIN,
IMPRISON, AND MURDER ALL THOSE WHO
MADE MENTION OF THIS PROPHET. Their
hatred for him was so intense that it defied all
reason.

Now the players of the game never wondered even

ONCE why the rulers of the game had singled out
this ONE PROPHET for attack, and why it was that
HIS WORDS SENT THEM INTO SPASMS OF
ANGER. They could mention the false prophets that
the SPIRIT OF LIE had sent into the game. No one
ever did anything when they claimed these prophets
had words of wisdom. They could speak of other
25
The Game

concepts, ideologies and such, and nothing was ever

said. They could argue over scientific data and
concepts until the Ministry of Truth declared a
concept as absolute truth, but they could not mention
this prophet without causing a firestorm of anger.
What was there about this PROPHET that caused
such a massive REACTION? It was only when
THIS ONE NAME WAS MENTIONED, and
THAT HIS WORDS SHOULD BE BELIEVED,
that INSTANT ANGER AND PERSECUTION
CAME. Why? After all the prophet had died many
years prior, and was no real threat to the leaders.
They especially hated this prophets WORD OF
PROPHECY, which identified all that was to come,
and openly showed ALL THE PLAYERS what the
leaders of the world would do, how they would do
it, and WHEN THEY WOULD DO IT. This the
CREATOR felt that the PLAYERS, ALL OF
THEM, HAD NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER.

And so the game was played. Some of the players

found the HOTLINK after they had searched Him
out with all of their hearts, minds and souls, and they
26
The Game

EXTRICATED THEMSELVES FROM THE

GAME FOR ALL ETERNITY. The other players,
well, all they did was PLAY THE GAME. AND
THE GAME’S NAME WAS VANITY. And so they
died and saw the BIG RED SIGN: “ALL IS
VANITY, YOU LOSE.” And not one tear was shed
by the creator. Not one.

At the end, when the CREATOR sent his prophet

back into the game to collect all those written in the
BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE and THOSE THAT
HAD COME TO HIM, there arose great FEAR
AND TERROR IN THE LAND OF THE LIE. All
of the players knew and understood for the first time
that reality and truth was stranger than anything they
had ever dreamed of. That the ANCIENT
PROPHET'S WORDS WERE ALL TRUE, and that
EVERYTHING THAT WAS OPENLY SAID
HAD COME TO PASS WITH 100% ACCURACY.
The players knew suddenly and without any
warning that realty was going to rule over them, and
that they were trapped. They were wroth with their
leaders and rulers, and those in the government that
27
The Game

had persecuted, tortured and killed all of the saints.

They grabbed as many as they could find and did
terrible things to them and then put them to death.
All government agents, who had terrorized and
persecuted the players were hunted down and
gathered together with their families and put to
death. Those that had cleansed the earth were now
going to be cleansed. Those that had tortured were
now going to be tortured. Those that had put the
Innocent in prison were now going to an eternal
prison. All those that killed, murdered, raped,
pillaged and destroyed were going to receive the
same. It never dawned upon them that
WHATSOEVER YOU DO UNTO OTHERS
SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU. That
WHATSOEVER MEASURE YOU GIVE, SHALL
BE MEASURED UNTO YOU.

And so the tears, the cries and the pain of the

PLAYERS came to A CLOSE. It was all over. All
of the philosophies, theologies, religions and
governments fell in an instant of time. All of the
lives of arrogance and pride and accomplishment
28
The Game

were brought down to naught. All of the haughtiness

of the PLAYERS was brought to dust. All of the
players were resurrected and they stood before their
creator.

The creator opened his books. It was not his will that
any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance and understand the true reality of their
position in the game. He opened the book of
remembrance and eagerly searched for each
person’s name that stood before him. Had they
sought after him? Had they spoken of him often?
Had they talked of him to their children? Had they
dropped it all to search him out? Had they been
faithful and not given up? But so few had done so.
If one’s name was not found in the book of
remembrance, they were blotted out forever in the
book of winners. He then searched the book of the
prophet, to see if they had come to him. One by one,
ever so slowly, each player stood before their
creator. Their cries of “I did not know," fell upon
deaf ears. They could have known, had they wanted
to know.
29
The Game

The creator got out the book of works. In this book

were all the deeds that the players had ever done
during the game. He went over their works, both
good and evil. He was looking for something.
Anything that would extricate them from eternal
loss and ruin. But the only work that was accepted
was the search itself that continued until the truth
was found. Anything short of the finding of the truth
would not count. After all, one could believe
anything one wanted during the game. That did not
matter. What mattered was finding the truth behind
the game. Finding the creator was what really
counted.

And so the creator searched. He found records of

great sacrifice and great love by the players. He saw
huge donations of moneys to found charities to help
the poor and cloth and feed them. He found many
wonderful things done in the name of SERVICE of
their fellow players. Huge fortunes dedicated to
knowledge and wisdom. He found all sorts of good
works, all done under the basic rules of the game.
But nothing as to THE SEARCH AND THE
30
The Game

FINDING OF THE TRUTH. One by one they were

blotted out. For the object of the game was not to
PLAY IT, but rather to SEARCH OUT THE
TRUTH BEHIND IT, AND TO MEET THE
CREATOR. Then, after you had MET THE
CREATOR, and UNDERSTOOD THE REAL
TRUTH, you could come back and warn the others,
and THEN all of your services to mankind, your
helps, your donations and time and effort would be
REWARDED BY THE CREATOR AND HIS
PROPHET. They would be rewarded because when
you UNLOCKED THE TRUTH behind the GAME,
you also discovered the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, and his
method of acquittal was simple: He imparted HIS
OWN SPIRIT into each player. Now, when they
came back into the game, they had HIS SPIRIT, and
did their good deeds in THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
And those were the only deeds that counted.

And so it was that millions of people who believed

upon the PROPHET HIMSELF were stunned to
find out that they did not really know or understand
what he wanted. They had not obeyed any of his
31
The Game

words, nor paid any attention to his WARNINGS.

Thus when they stood before him, he said to them:
“GET AWAY FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW
YOU." It was a truth, because they had never taken
the time to FIND HIM. He was well hidden, but not
far from them. He was a secret, but his secret was
open to all that would search it out.

And so THE GAME came to a close. Billions

perished because they would not take the time to
EXTRICATE THEMSELVES FROM THE
GAME. All they did was PLAY IT, and BELIEVED
THE OTHER FOOLS THAT PLAYED IT AS
WELL. And so only A FEW SURVIVED THE
GAME. And so the CREATOR CLOSED THE
GAME. He turned to the FEW FAITHFUL and they
went on to other worlds, and to other places, so great
and so mysterious and so wonderful you would not
believe it though told you. You would not believe it,
because you think this story of THE GAME is
simply a story. It isn’t.
