Are You Trapped In A Game You Can’t Win?

When we engage in conversations with spirits, we discover problems that last an extremely long time. I have been involved in the spiritual counseling game one way or another since 1976 and I am still discovering problems that I have never encountered before.

For example, let’s consider a “game” without agreed-upon rules. In this type of game, involving two or more players, the object of the contest is to capture a territory or a position of supremacy. This can be a form of physical occupancy or moral superiority. When there are no agreed-upon rules, any action taken to win the game can be considered “unfair” by the other side.

Wars and moral crusades are stunning examples of this kind of game for which there is little satisfaction in winning because one inevitably violates one’s own moral code when retaliating to action by the other side. Any contest of this sort which has no rules can trap the players into a never-ending effort to be “right” at any cost.

There can never be a resolution until someone accepts responsibility for ending the contest and making up for the damage they did by participating in the contest. Defending yourself against aggression is not enough. To be free and stay free, you must find a way to defuse the initial aggression without making the aggressor wrong.

The alternative is endless warfare, with both sides striving to be right and committing endless cruelties on the other side in the process. I encountered this situation just last week where two spirits had been fighting for many millions of years. Each had committed atrocities on the other innumerable times so any semblance of rightness had vanished long, long ago. Each was still convinced of the rightness of their cause and was ignoring the fact they had done despicable actions against their own moral codes in pursuit of their rightness. Their violation of their own moral codes made it impossible for them to achieve a satisfactory conclusion to their struggle until I persuaded them to look at how they had entrapped themselves and persuaded them to leave the game entirely.

Once they were able to see that they had spent millions of years tying up their attention and their life force in their struggle to be right, with no satisfaction or reward, they were open to considering putting their attention elsewhere. They had spent countless lifetimes struggling to overcome each other with nothing to show for that effort. I had finally gotten them to look at how much more of their eternity they could waste on this endless struggle and they made the rational decision to end the game.

My client realized that his original action, while well meant, had created effects that the other spirit could not experience easily, and that had started the struggle that had lasted for millions of years. I gained an understanding of conflicts that I had never expected. When you break the rules or there are no rules, you can trap yourself by your own actions. Seek to form alliances instead and enhance your survival and the survival of others. That contributes to the life force of everyone involved.
