Life - The Drama

When you walk into a theater to see a play the first thought to cross your mind is usually that the entire experience is not real. The actors have a completely separate goal, which is to conspire to make you believe the entire experience is real.

 

They want you to laugh when a humorous scene happens or cry when a character dies. They want you to believe that what you are witnessing is real and happening right in front of you.

 

Take that same concept and apply it to everyday life.

Ask yourself what divides reality from a fictional experience. Is it that the events you see outside of the theater are "real"? What makes them real? Is it that they effect you personally or could potentially effect you personally?

In Hindu mythology it is said that the world is God's theater and we are both participating as the actors and audience. In essence, there is no differentiation between God and man; and if we believe that this life is more than just an act happening each time the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west, we have missed the point entirely. I am not saying that you should think this way or make this your center of thought, but you should play with it.

 

Think about what life would be like if you knew it was a play, something that wasn't real. How would you change? How would you view death?

On the topic of death, it should be said that even the concept of dying is completely misunderstood. Death to the American public means the end of your ego and yourself, you are no more than a memory. All life leads up to is death and nothing really matters because you will one day pass away.

 

But what if that's not the case? Because after you really think about it, considering yourself more than just flesh and bone, what if life is a lesson and death is the end of that lesson, reincarnation is the beginning of the next lesson and the time in between (the astral plane) is "summer break"?

 

What if life is a lesson in the cosmic drama school?
