Dismember that you are the Divine One playing a game and suddenly you’re “just” this human.
The Game of Divinity and Humanity
We dive into the profound notion that our existence is a cosmic game, where we are both the Divine One and mere humans. This game, a playful yet profound enactment of our divinity and humanity, leads us to question the essence of our true self.
The Divine Play
At the core of our existence lies the understanding that we are the Divine One, partaking in a grand cosmic game. In this state, we transcend the ordinary, embracing our true nature as boundless, stateless consciousness. This perspective aligns with our nexistentialist belief that existence is an end in itself, a pure form of being without the need for external justification.
The Illusion of Humanity
The moment we ‘dismember’ or forget our divine play, we find ourselves confined to the identity of ‘just’ a human. This sudden shift is not just a change in perspective but a transformative experience that narrows our infinite existence into the finite boundaries of human experience. Here, the infinite cosmos contracts into the limitations of time, space, and individuality.
The Contrast of Existence
This shift from the divine to the human illustrates the contrast inherent in our existence. As the Divine One, we embody the infinite, the eternal, and the boundless. As humans, we navigate the tangible, the temporal, and the confined. Yet, both these aspects are integral to our overall experience in the cosmic play.
The Purpose of Forgetting
The act of ‘forgetting’ our divinity serves a purpose in our cosmic journey. It allows us to fully immerse in the human experience, to explore the dimensions of form, structure, and limitation. In doing so, we encounter a range of experiences, emotions, and lessons that enrich our understanding of existence.
Reclaiming Our Divinity
Eventually, we come full circle, reclaiming our understanding of ourselves as the Divine One. This realization is not just a return to our starting point but an evolution, as we bring back the insights and experiences gained from our human journey. This cycle of remembering and forgetting, of being the Divine One and ‘just’ a human, is the essence of our cosmic play.
Summary
We contemplate the notion that our existence is a game played by the Divine One, where forgetting this leads to the experience of being ‘just’ human. This shift highlights the contrast between our infinite divine nature and our finite human existence. The purpose of this ‘forgetting’ is to deeply engage in the human experience, gaining insights and lessons. Ultimately, we come full circle, reclaiming our divinity enriched by our human journey, embodying the essence of our cosmic play.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
A Free-Verse Poem: The Game of Divinity
In the cosmic game, we soar and dive,
Both the ocean and a single drop in life’s archive.
Forgetting we are Divine, we become human, so alive,
In this play, both boundaries and infinity thrive.
We wear masks of flesh, stars in our eyes,
Dancing in the human guise,
Yet, within us, the infinite lies,
A truth grand, beyond the skies.
In forgetting, we explore, we strive,
In each moment, intensely alive,
Then, remembering, we again arrive,
As the Divine, forever to survive.
In this game, we are both lost and found,
In the dance of the Divine, profoundly profound.
We are the players, the game, the sound,
In this cosmic play, our spirits unbound.
We invite thoughts on this intriguing dance between divinity and humanity.
