You can’t win a chess match without losing pieces

Syria had been on the board for a long time surrounded by hostile pieces. As the chess match progressed, it was only a matter of time that this piece would be captured. It is like a sudden death that everyone knew was coming, yet somehow unexpected. Very sad for loved ones, but life just goes on without Syria.

Everything comes to an end, that’s how life is. Those huge forest fires in Australia that put an end to millions of trees and animals living there are cleaning up the Earth so that life will continue in a new way. In the Universe whole galaxies explode daily with all the life in them and the world goes on turning. How relative is everything we humans on Earth are frenetically concerned with and thinking in terms of winning or losing.

The point is that we attach too much importance to the outcome of the chess match and ignore the beauty of the game. That someone cheats should even be irrelevant, because then you are still engaged in trying to win. Of course that chess match must be played, but that is not what evolution is about at all. It doesn’t matter at all to Earth who wins if we don’t rise above the game of chess.

If we remain absorbed in the chess match, we become unaware of what our world is really about. If we are sad at a captured piece or cheer at the capture of a piece, we are literally giving away energy to the battle. Humanity has been doing this for so long and when do we finally break that cycle. It takes a beginning of enough people consciously stepping out of the struggle. Even if that struggle continues and even if pieces are being smashed.

I am not advocating doing nothing, because even if you don’t want a struggle the struggle is being forced upon us. But there are plenty of people not directly involved and they can indeed move humanity in the right direction with their intention. However then we have to stop consuming the propaganda. Stop hating and also stop cheering. Life asks us to become conscious, which is evolution.

It is taking responsibility for your own energy. Being responsible for your own intention and actions, evaluating and adjusting them. Do you feed the struggle or do you spend your energy on awareness and love. I know this sounds very strange to people. How can you give love when this misery is taking place. If humanity understood this, we would be so much further along in the evolution of our species. It is also difficult to explain, because its basis lies in feeling.

How many dictators and saints have already passed on Earth and apparently we haven’t progressed very much. People think that if someone else is put in charge, things will always be better from now on. Religious people have thought for thousands of years that their God will save the world. We swallow all kinds of pills instead of taking care of our health ourselves. We have to do it ourselves. Take responsibility ourselves. And then the most important thing: “In the energy”. That energy is love. Even if the world around us is in misery. I really have no idea if humanity will ever be able to do this.

A few million people on Earth are literally fighting each other right now. That means that a few billion people on Earth can become aware of what life is really about. It’s actually so simple, but it’s not happening. That’s why this is a spiritual war that transcends the chess match. And by the way, at all levels people are engaged in struggle. That’s how our energy stays low. Those who skillfully use this divide and conquer principle personally benefit from their actions.

Religion plays a big role in all this. Actually, it involves all kinds of religion, because equally we know a climate religion and even a science religion. People unconsciously run after all kinds of stories that only provide divide and conquer without awareness and love. Only when you are willing to break down your whole belief system and descend into the depths of your soul can you truly become conscious and be love. There is no pill for that. Even that red pill from The Matrix will take you to the battle if you are not careful.

Detach yourself from the battle and feel what and who you really are. Use your energy for your own awareness rather than for the outside world. Three hundred million conscious souls are enough to bring about a tipping point in our evolution. It is about time it happens. But whether the time is right for it now I don’t know. I hope so, but just have to witness it. That too should not be a struggle. Life, like chess, is an incredibly beautiful spectacle. A lion eating a deer. A supernova. The death of a loved one. And life goes on. So extraordinary.
