What we see as “life and death”
are just shadows
of our deeper eternal dimensions.
It doesn’t make sense.
And it makes “perfect” sense.
Either way, we’re only
seeing an infinitesimal fraction
of our infinite potential.
Ask deeply. The soul knows.
The self knows, too,
but has chosen to forget.
This is just a shadow game.
You can take life seriously,
if you want to.
You can say it’s ridiculous, too.
You can fill it with conflicts,
paradoxes and profundities.
You can struggle to make it through.
You can dance on the head of a pin.
You can find all the answers within.
You can trust in your laws insane.
Cuz it’s all just a shadow game.
You’re not this body.
You’re not this self.
You’re not that coffee maker on the shelf.
You’re not this life and death
love and pain.
Cuz it’s all just a shadow game.
Yes, it’s all just a shadow game.

Shadow Game: Dancing in the Illusions of Existence
In the enigmatic dance of existence, where shadows and light intertwine, we find ourselves pondering the nature of life and death. What we perceive as the dichotomy of existence is but a mere reflection, a shadow, of our deeper eternal dimensions.
It is both perplexing and strangely profound. We navigate through this reality, experiencing only a fraction of our infinite potential. The soul knows, for it holds the wisdom of our true essence. Yet, the self has chosen to forget, concealing the profound truths beneath layers of illusion.
This grand stage we call life is akin to a shadow game. We have the freedom to approach it with seriousness or absurdity, to weave conflicts and paradoxes, or to delve into the depths of profound contemplation. We can struggle to make sense of it all or dance with joy upon the head of a pin. We can seek answers within ourselves, trusting in the intricate laws of this seemingly insane world.
But remember, dear seeker, you are not confined to this body, this self, or even the mundane objects that surround you. You are not defined by the cycles of life and death, the ebb and flow of love and pain. It’s all part of the grand illusion, the shadow game of existence.
Embrace the knowing that lies beyond the shadows. Dive deep into the well of your soul’s wisdom, for there lies the recognition of your true nature. Allow yourself to transcend the limitations of this fleeting reality and awaken to the eternal essence that flows through you.
In the midst of the shadow game, remember that you are the player and the observer, the creator and the created. Embrace the dance of existence with curiosity, wonder, and a lightness of being.
For in the end, it’s all just a shadow game—a magnificent play of illusions where the depths of your infinite potential await your discovery.
