Playing The Game of Transformation over the past few days in the beautiful Cluny space has been rather wonderful ... the Game itself, with four players and two guides, opened each of us up to rich sharing, leading to new understanding and indeed the possibilities of psychological clearing and spiritual deepening ... the four who arrived as strangers quickly became a tight group, with diverse back stories, national, cultural, racial and religious identities ... explored inside the Game and outside too ...
Since clear intentions were required from the start, a form of words arrived after some resistance to the concept of having intentions at all ... "to fully engage with other humans" seemed concise enough and referred to the path in general ... an intention specific to the Game became " to listen actively, with compassion and insight, and offer my views appropriately" ... this after cribbing from the others and it seemed right ... with angelic assistance ( Light was given during the ostensibly random process and Clarity joined her during the Game ) ...progress is made through levels of the physical, emotional, mental, Love and Unity, according to the accumulation of Form and Awareness via dice rolling, coin flipping, random picking of Insight and Setback cards, blessings, miracles and more ... all chronicled by the guides ... a task increasingly complex as miracles within miracles within synergies evolved ... and at every turn sharing of experience, some very raw .... though all that stuff stays in the group, of course! As for the intentions and angels of the others, that's for them to share here if they want...
Having set the intention of engaging fully with other humans, and mostly doing that, it is amusing to note that Daisy, the little blue Chinese car joined the fun and games and served the group willingly, with trips to the Park, the airport and even Glasgow ... and came fully into her name in relationship with the others though Dai-sy may turn out to be a more sensitive rendering what with her being Chinese ...
October arrived during the Game and a possible Walk before winter was already in the Field ... research shows a berth from Plymouth to Santander next week and a wander from Ferrol on the Ingles or another trip over the mountains from Oviedo are out there ... other humans have offers outstanding which may influence events ... indeed it has been observed that fully engaging with such entities does tend to complicate things .... there we are, the price of fellowship!
As for transformation, time will tell and each may report back ... for this player the first visit to Cluny, for Experience Week 9 years ago, turned out to be very transformational and this return, with three daily 6.30 one hour early sits in the magical Sanctuary, where so many have sat in silence over the past forty plus years, has surely been a significant step along the path ... or to expand the metaphors, a deeper exploration of previously hidden spaces ...
