At every stage of life, we find ourselves asking profound questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is this world I live in? The answers to these questions reveal that we are not just physical beings, personalities, or a collection of habits and beliefs. We are souls, here to gain experience.
This experience can be broadly classified into four categories:
The pursuit of paradise – the search for happiness, harmony, and inner peace.
The desire to leave a mark on the world – striving for significance, self-realization, and acknowledgment of our worth.
The need for connection with others – seeking love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging.
The drive to structure the world and create – the ability to bring new things into existence, to organize chaos, and to express ourselves uniquely.
The world and the people around us serve as the stage, the backdrop for our experiences. We do not attract them; we choose them. This choice happens on various levels:
On the conscious level, we make deliberate decisions, saying “yes” to some things and “no” to others.
On the subconscious level, our choices are shaped by automated programs and patterns accumulated over time.
On the unconscious level, we are guided by archetypal strategies – ancient patterns deeply ingrained in our nature.
From the External to the Internal
At certain points in life, external factors—events, people, and challenges—stimulate us, helping us learn and grow. But there comes a moment when we must stop relying on these external triggers and start living from within. After all, everything around us is merely a backdrop. The essence lies within us.
This transition requires honesty: Who am I? Who do I need at this stage? What circumstances should I place myself in? Once we answer these questions, we can begin to shape our reality from within, no longer adjusting to the expectations or opinions of others. We become the masters of our own game.
The Goal as a Tool, Not a Burden
Each goal is a tool for gaining experience. If we lack the energy to achieve a goal, the issue lies in our unconscious. If we lack ideas or solutions, the challenge is in our subconscious. Goals don’t depend on circumstances—they require strategies and ways of thinking, which we develop throughout our lives.
We are not here to serve our goals. We manage ourselves. If we notice that we are serving something or someone else, it’s a signal. We must identify where our energy has gone and reclaim it. Maturity means taking control of our lives. The one in charge is the soul, not the mind.
The Game of Life
Life is a game, and with each level, it must become more challenging to remain engaging. Similarly, our experiences grow in complexity, allowing us to learn, evolve, and find fulfillment on our path.
Our mission is to embrace this experience with joy, to move forward boldly, and to create our reality. This is the magic of life—to see ourselves as its architects, masters, and creators.
