The Game I Play

Before we talk about the game I play, here is my definition for the word illusion,
and I giggle, because there is little wonder why I couldn’t see illusions’
purposes for longer than I want to admit. Here’s why.
Illusions are ideas, in either spoken or written forms, that can generate activities
and behaviors out of fear. It appears illusions pertain to our pocketbooks,
and, in today’s expanding corporate management of affairs, ideas of one’s
personal pocketbook prompted my generous attention. Illusions can be regenerated
and recycled to manipulate outcomes by those in traditional masculinized positions.
You name most any topic, and, with next to no stretch of the imagination, I
believe you would probably discover things in our lives have been initiated
and accomplished with manipulation—by stealthy delusion. At first, that
could be a fretful assessment; it was for me.
Okay, here’s the game. It isn’t the sort scored with hash marks,
but the kind requiring one question that leads to the next with no predictable
rhyme nor reason, and certainly no absolute answers—just noticing an intelligent,
inquiring process occurring through one’s intuitive senses.
Here are some examples.
- Are we humans eminently adequate for the job of intuiting business’
myriad falsehoods and cover ups?
- Are Earthlings educating ourselves about unethical financial arrangements
around our planet?
- What are other great theaters for staging long held illusions?
- Do humans see how well we collectively continue to play significant roles
in theaters of illusion?
Right now, at this very moment, I am touched to the core with remembrances
of people who likely knew, better than me, the nature of forgiveness in business.
Perhaps, those sensitive to the abuse in business had already experienced discomfort
from manifestations of preposterous illusions, generated out of masculine energy.
I am humbled by the game I play. I am moved by those of wisdom who forgave
offenses of unsuspecting employees and associates, for whatever reason, and
for any unpleasant result.
Our constant curiosity
is key
to watching what’s being created.
