The Cosmic Game
Kabbalah is the spiritual Blueprint for Creation. That means that everything that happens, whether in the world at large or your own very personal life, comes directly from that Blueprint. So if you want to understand your life, your potential, and your world, there is no question – you must first understand what the Blueprint says about you.
We Are All Players in a Cosmic Game
There are no limits to what G-d can do. Since He is Infinite, expressing that Inifinity in an infinite way is no challenge at all. But to express that same Infinity in finite ways – in a world full of darkness, separateness, conflict and concealment – that’s a challenge; a game worth playing.
We – in our small vunerable bodies, in our temporal lifespans, bound by our limited ego-based perspective and the struggle to survive – each one of us is the finite expression of G-d. Like it or not, we are the players in the Game.
Understanding The Rules of the Game
Everybody starts the Game with a set of cards. The qualities and tendencies you’re born with, the family you’re born into, and all that happens to you as you go through life – these are the cards that are uniquely yours.
But even though we are unique, most of what we experience in life is common among us all. All human beings can reason, understand and learn. We all innately want to grow, to love, to achieve. We all sense that there is more to life than we can see, and most of us long to know what lies beyond. Most important of all, we all are gifted with the power to choose. That, more than anything else, is what makes us players in the Game.
At the same time, however, all human beings feel deeply vulnerable and basically flawed. If you thought it was just you, think again, because every one of us walks around with that deep sense of vulnerability and the nagging inner feeling that something is wrong. Although we try very hard not to show it – in fact, may even structure our lives around trying to hide it or make it go away – deep inside we all feel less than in some way.
RULE #1: Stop Taking Yourself So Personally
It’s important to realize that there’s nothing personal about any of this. That deep sense of vulnerability, the inner feeling of helplessness, smallness and shame, is all part of the Game. It’s the Human Condition, something we all share. And simply knowing that – realizing that there’s really nothing wrong with you – is fundamentally important to your sense of power and peace of mind. In addition, instead of trying so hard to fix yourself, you can spend more of your time and energy on what life is really about.
As inevitable as the Human Condition is, it’s not your permanent address. it’s only a place to start, not where you’re meant to stay. You must get more comfortable with your humanness, but not complacent. Turning our darkness into light, our walls into doorways, is why we’re all here. It’s why G-d created this world in the first place.
That means that the limitations you were born with, the ones you struggle against, are not actually in the way of your purpose. They ARE your purpose. You can begin to fulfill that purpose by coming out of hiding. Embrace your challenges, accept them, understand that they are not your flaws, but your mission, your piece of darkness to transform This is the first step on the road to true power and peace of mind, to becoming who you were truly meant to be.
Think About This
So much of our time, energy and potential is caught up in the never-ending drive to fix what’s wrong with us. Like hamsters on a spinning wheel, we keep running – after whatever we think we need in order to feel that life is okay. More youth. More beauty. More money. More success. More love. More, more, always more.
But the Blueprint tells us a different story. According to Blueprint, the very walls you keep bumping up against are the doorways to your fulfillment – and to fulfilling your mission here on earth.
It’s a big change in perspective, and one that may take some time to really sink in. But try thinking about this now, just for fun.
If you knew for certain that your flaws are an intrinsic part of your purpose, that they are what will allow you to access your true potential, power and fulfillment, what would change for you? Would you feel different? Think differently? Act different? What would change in your life?
I want to hear from you!
Much more to come as we explore the secrets of the Blueprint and winning the Cosmic Game.

I’ve just recently come through a huge trial. What you are saying is what G-d taught me. Thank you. You will get more hits on your site in the coming age.

BS’D
I like what Debra said, just to add: The Coming Age Is Here, Now. I believe we are all responding to it on some level. Granted for some that level is very deeply sub-sub-sub-level.
