THE ENERGY ENHANCEMENT MASTER GAME
- A Game Worth Playing
THIS ARTICLE IS CONCERNED with games and aims
It has been stated by Thomas Szasz that what people really need and demand from
life is not wealth, comfort or esteem but games worth playing.1 He who cannot
find a game worth playing is apt to fall prey to accidie, defined by the Fathers
of the Church as one of the Deadly Sins, but now regarded as a symptom of
sickness. Accidie is a paralysis of the will, a failure of the appetite, a
condition of generalized boredom, total disenchantment—"God, oh God, how weary,
stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!" Such a
state of mind, Szasz tells us, is a prelude to what is loosely called "mental
illness," which, though Szasz defines this illness as a myth, nevertheless fills
half the beds in hospitals and makes multitudes of people a burden to themselves
and to society.
Seek, above all, for a game worth playing. Such is the advice of the oracle to
modern man. Having found the game, play it with intensity—play as if your life
and sanity depended on it. ( They do depend on it. ) Follow the example of the
French existentialists and flourish a banner bearing the word "engagement."
Though nothing means anything and all roads are marked "No EXIT," yet seem to
offer a game worth playing, then invent one.2 For it must move as if your
movements had some purpose. If life does not be clear, even to the most clouded
intelligence, that any game is better than no game.
What sort of games does life offer? We can study Stephen Potter for tips on
"gamesmanship." We can ( and should) read Eric Berne on Games People Play.3 If
we have mathematical inclinations we can look into the work of John von Neumann
or Norbert Wiener, who devoted some of their best thinking to the elaboration of
a theory of games.4
From the Hindu scriptures we can learn of the cosmic game, the alternation of
lila and nitya, the Dance of Shiva, in which primordial unity is transformed
into multiplicity through the constant interplay of the three faunas. In the
works of the mystic novelist, Hermann Hesse, we can read of the Magic Theater in
which all life games are possible or of the game of games (Glassperlenspiel) in
which all elements of human experience are brought together in a single
synthesis."
What is a game? An interaction between people involving ulterior motives? Berne
uses the word in this sense in Games People Play. But a game involves more than
this. It is essentially a trial of strength or a trial of wits played within a
matrix which is defined by rules."' Rules are essential. If the rules are not
observed, the game ceases to be a game at all. A meaningful game of chess would
be impossible if one player insisted on treating all pawns as queens.
Life games reflect real life aims. And the games men choose to play indicate not
only their type, but also their level of inner development. Following Thomas
Szasz ( more or less) we can divide life games into object games and meta-games.
Object games can be thought of as games played for the attainment of material
things, primarily money and the objects which money can buy. Meta-games are
played for intangibles such as knowledge or the "salvation of the soul." In our
culture object games predominate. In earlier cultures meta-games predominated.
To the players of meta games, object games have always seemed shallow and
futile, an attitude summarized in the Gospel saying: "What shall it profit a man
if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" To the players of object
games, meta-games seem fuzzy and ill-defined, involving nebulous concepts like
beauty, truth or salvation. The whole human population of the earth can be
divided roughly into two groups, meta-game players and object-game players, the
Prosperos and the Calibans.8 The Ascenders and the Descenders The two have never
understood one another and it is safe to predict that they never will. They are,
psychologically speaking, different species of man and their conflicts
throughout the ages have added greatly to the sum of human misery.
Life Games
ALL games have an
important and probably
decisive influence on
the destinies of the
players under ordinary
social conditions; but
some offer more
opportunities than
others for lifelong
careers and are more
likely to involve
relatively innocent
bystanders. This group
may be conveniently
called Life Games Which
we work on in Energy
Enhancement Level 3. It
includes "Addict,"
"Defaulter," "Kick Me,"
"Now I've Got You, You
Son of a Bitch," "See
What You Made Me Do" and
their principal
variants. They merge on
the one side with
marital games, and on
the other with those of
the underworld. All
these games are Implant
Blockage created
Distractions which are a
total waste of time,
only removable by Energy
Enhancement meditation
Based techniques.
Their use is promoted by Hollywood Advertising (Psychopathic Killing as an advertisement for people to join the Army) Bollywood Advertising (Dancing and sweet love to get you to enter into the Householder Game and create a massive Population so that a massive army can be generated) and childish novels as attention distracters from the Master Game.
Life games are a big subject to do with purpose, one of the energies of the Will, of the Avatar of Synthesis.
What is your purpose, your mission in this lifetime?
What is distracting you from your purpose?

The big celebration, the wedding or housewarming, takes place not when the debt is discharged, but when it is undertaken.
What is emphasized on TV, for example, is not the middle-aged man who has finally paid off his mortgage, but the young man who moves into his new home with his family, proudly waving the papers he has just signed and which will bind him for most of his productive years.
After he has paid his debts—the mortgage, the college expenses for his children and his insurance—he is regarded as a problem, a "senior citizen" for whom society must provide not only material comforts but a new "purpose."
This is the life of Nothing.
You come into this world with Nothing; make some money, pay the bills for the hospital and you leave with Nothing!!
As this is
written, a sow
bug crawls
across a desk.
If he is turned
over on his
back, one can
observe the
tremendous
struggle he goes
through to get
on his feet
again. During
this interval he
has a "purpose"
in his life.
When he succeeds, one can almost see the look of victory on his face. Off he goes, and one can imagine him telling his tale at the next meeting of sow bugs, looked up to by the younger generation as an insect who has made it.
And yet mixed with his smugness is a little disappointment. Now that he has come out on top, life seems aimless. Maybe he will return in the hope of repeating his triumph. It might be worth marking his back with ink, so as to recognize him if he risks it. A courageous animal, the sow bug. No wonder he has survived for millions of years.
This is the Existential Position of Eric Berne which is true of any game except the Master Game of Illumination.
All games are played according to rules. In man-made games such as poker the
rules are imposed by the laws of probability (odds against a straight are 254 to
1, against a flush, 508 to 1.) or they are dependent on special limitations
(pawns and other pieces in chess each having its own move). In life games, rules
are imposed by natural, economic or social conditions. The player must both
remember the aim and know the rules. Apart from this, the quality of his game
depends on his own innate characteristics.
Great chess masters are born, not made. Great football players are bound to have
certain physical characteristics. The game a man can play is determined by his
type ( of which more later). Ho who tries to play a game for which his type does
not fit him violates his Own essence with consequences that are often
disastrous.
The Satanic Games
The main types of life
games are shown in Table I.
In the movie `The Matrix,' the
Morpheus character says this: "The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is
our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen,
teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds of the people we are trying to
save. But until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them
our enemies. You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be
unplugged. And many are so...hopelessly dependent on the system that they will
fight to protect it."
Sauron - "One Bank to Rule them All"
In 1956,
J. Edgar Hoover,
the then Director of the FBI, himself a 33rd Degree Freemason and therefore no
stranger to Luciferian machinations and other deviant behaviour like dressing up
in womens clothes, somewhat paradoxically wrote: "The individual is
handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot
believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the
evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption
that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy
all that is good and decent." The Elks Magazine (August 1956)
"It is almost a joke now in the Western world, in the 20th century, to use words
like 'good and 'evil'. They have become almost old fashioned concepts, but they
are very real and genuine concepts. These are concepts from a sphere which is
higher than us. And instead of getting involved in base, petty, short-sighted
political calculations and games. We have to recognize that the concentration of
world Evil and the tremendous force of hatred is there and it's flowing from
there throughout the world. And we have to stand up against it and not hasten to
give to it, give to it, give to it, every-thing that it wants to swallow."
-- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Hog in Trough - Sauron - "One Bank to Rule them All" - is an object game pure and simple. The aim is to get one's nose in the trough as deeply as possible, guzzle as much as possible, elbow the other hogs aside as forcefully as possible. A strong Hog in Trough player has all the qualities with which communist propaganda endows the bankster crony capitalist, insatiable greed, ruthlessness, cunning, selfishness. Pure Hog in Trough is not considered entirely respectably in the contemporary U.S.A. and is generally played today with a certain moderation that would have seemed sissy to the giants of the game who savagely exploited the resources of the continent a century or so ago. Although the 4 trillions of dollars stolen out of the system by the latest 2008 housing bubble and by the yearly bubbles for 200 years - The rules of the game have become more complex and the game itself more subtle but its aim is the creation of austerity which is another name for poverty and the feudal system's return, "Aye Aye Sir" said he, tugging his forelock.
It is the promotion of Green
Eugenocide as we descend into another stone age. It is the reduction of the
flower of humanity from seven billions to one billion mind gelded people by
means of austerity, poisoning and drugging the food and water, famine, and
nuclear and biological war. See and read George Orwell's 1984 and see George
Lucas' movies THX 1138 and the Revenge of the Sith..
Cock on Dunghill
is played for fame. It is
designed primarily to inflate the false ego and to keep it inflated. Players of
Cock on Dunghill are hungry to be known and talked about. They want, in a word,
to be celebrities, whether or not they have anything worth celebrating. The game
is practically forced upon people in some professions ( actors, politicians),
who are compelled to maintain a "public image" which may have no relationship to
the thing they really are. But the real player of Cock on Dunghill, whose
happiness depends entirely on the frequency with which he (or she) sees his name
in the papers, does not much care about public images. For him any publicity is
better than no publicity. He would rather be well known as a scoundrel than not
known at all.
Politicians cultivate an image
until it invariably is destroyed by the Truth - that these politicians are
Tonyclones (Tony Bliar) who are atavisticly connected to the
elite Ritual Sexual Pervert or
Bwankster Hog in the Trough
and
Moloch
philosophies (Satanic inspired Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll) who sell
themselves like whores to the highest corporate bidder - the definition of
fascism, or both.
The Moloch Game
is the deadliest of all games, played for "glory" or for "victory," by various
grades of professional mankillers (trained to regard such killing as creditable
provided those they kill favor a different religion or political system and can
thus be collectively referred to as "the enemy." "They were all bad" - Big
Fascist Arnie from the Movie, "True Lies".
For thousands of years, since before the slave and banker founded Babylonian
Empire and all the empires since; Roman, Venetian, Brutish, these people are created for a purpose and that purpose is the creation of
poverty, low intellect - dumming down, in order to kill off the intellectual
elite every few years - they have culled, and controlled humanity for thousands of years.
At the head of human societal elites for thousands of years is family controlled by a guy like Sauron - from the Lord of the Rings - see the extended edition of the movie - buy the book, who must dum down humanity every 50 years so that he can remain in power. The Satanic Moloch Game, the Hog in the Trough Bankster game, the sexual Pervert Game and the Politician Cock on the Dunghill were created by him for just this purpose.
The Moloch Game is a purely satanic psychopathic NON-human game. Other mammals, though they fight with members of their own species, observe a certain decent moderation and rarely fight to the death. But the mind controlled players of the Moloch Game have no moderation. Lured on by some false glittering dream of glory or power, they kill with boundless enthusiasm, destroying whole cities, devastating entire countries.
The game is played so passionately and with such abandon that nothing, neither pity, decency, sympathy or even common sense, is allowed to interfere with the destructive orgy so they will kill one hundred innocents to take out one enemy. As the devotees of the Satanic God Moloch sacrificed their children to the idol, so the players of the Moloch Game sacrifice the lives of thousands of young males in the name of some glittering abstraction ( formerly "glory," now more generally "defence") or a silly phrase couched in a dead language: "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." - It is good and beautiful to die for ones country.
And as the young men went over the top to be killed in millions by the machine guns of the other side, on both sides. The Eugenocide Generals of both sides coldly sent more to the slaughter - because, "Humanity is a disease" and must be culled.
"An investment in Blood" - from, "The Devils Advocate" movie with Keanu Reeves
and Al Pacino.
Some of the war poets (World War I vintage) had bitter things to say about this
phrase:
"If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."
(Wilfred Owen, Poems [New York: The Viking Press, 1931].)
But so great is the power wielded by the players of this game, exerted through
various forms of coercion and blackmail, that the thousands of young men
involved make little protest. They "go to their graves like beds," not daring to
expose the emptiness of the glittering words on which the Moloch Game is based.
These four games, Sexual Pervert including ritual pedophiles, buggers and sexual
addicts, Hog in Trough, Cock on Dunghill and the Moloch Game, are all
more or less pathological activities. As with General Crassus in Spartacus and
in Venice, the cream of Empire are all Buggers, it is their defining
characteristic. The players who "win" win nothing that
they can truly call their own. "Hog in Trough" Bankster may emerge twice as rich as
Croesus only to find himself embittered, empty and unhappy, at a loss to know
what to do with the wealth he has amassed. The only winner is Sauron and his
Family.
"Cock on Dunghill"
may make himself so famous
that everyone knows his name only to realize that this fame of his is a mere
shadow and a source of inconvenience. Hitler, Stalin and Mao became notorious by
killing 200 million people in the 20th century.
Players of the Moloch
Game may wade in blood
up to the ears only to find that the victory or glory for which they sacrificed
a million lives are empty words, like richly bedizened whores who lure men to
their destruction. There is a psychopathic satanic criminal element in all these games because, in
every instance, they do harm both to the player and to the society of which he
forms a part. So warped, however, are the standards by which men measure
criminality that players of these games are more apt to be regarded as "pillars
of society" than dangerous lunatics who should be exiled to remote islands where
they can do no harm to themselves or Others.
Between the higher and the lower games is the neutral game, the Householder
Game, the aim of which is simply to raise a family and provide it with the
necessities of life. One cannot call it either a meta-game or an object game. It
is the basic biological game on which the continuation of the human race
depends. It is also possible to find, in every human society, a certain number
of nonplayers, people who, due to some constitutional defect, are unable to find
any game worth playing, who are, as a result, chronic outsiders, who feel
alienated from society and generally become mentally deranged, tend to become
antisocial and criminal
The High Games
The Meta-Games are rarely played in their pure form but are perverted in order
to maintain the dumming down process. Money and wealth depend upon human invention to
maintain the increase in human population, interaction, culture, genius and joy
in life. Without this genius, humanity is set in the pattern of poverty seen on
this planet for the last 100,000 years.
The Art Game
is directed toward the expression of an inner awareness defined as beauty as in
Raphael, Leonardo, Beethoven. The
awareness is purely energetic intensity. One mans beauty be another man's horror
if he cannot handle the psychic charge.
The
beautiful of one age can seem ugly to another. But bad players of the art game
have no inner awareness all. They are technically proficient and imitate those
who have awareness, conforming to the fashion whatever that fashion may he. The
whole Art Game, as played today, is heavily tainted with commercialism, the
greed of the collector pervades it like a bad smell
It is further complicated by the tendency to show off that afflicts all
contemporary artists, whether they be painters, sculptors, writers or composers.
As all traditional concepts of the beautiful have been abandoned, anything goes,
just so long, as it is new and startling. This makes it almost impossible to
tell whether a work of art corresponds to some inner awareness of the artist or
merely shows that he was trying to be clever 11
The Science Game
is also rarely played in its pure form as Universities have also been
infiltrated by Sauron - "One Bank to Rule them All". Much of it now is mere jugglery, a tiresome
ringing of changes on a few basic
themes by investigators who are little more than technicians with higher
degrees.
History. We remember the times of Plato, Socrates, Nicolas of Cusa, Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare, Schiller, Goethe, Liebniz, Reiman, Tesla, Einstein.
Science Drivers. We remember going to the moon with Jack Kennedy and this science driver created computers and the internet - every cent invested in the project returned 10 and made us all richer. Barkies destruction of NASA means we may never reach the Stars!! But we can start it again!!
Food. Even dummed down we have projects to make the desert bloom, for example the Tennessee Valley Authority created by FDR (Roosevelt) and the North American Water Authority (NAWAPA) by Jack Kennedy which was PURPOSEFULLY stopped after his assassination. The Three Gorges Dam in China will make the Gobi Desert Bloom. The use of the Libyan Aquifer by Gaddafi to irrigate the Sahara desert and turn it into the bread basket of Africa. These projects are gifts which will keep on giving trillions of dollars in food every year and make possible for humanity to, "Be fruitful and Multiply" - Bible - only science can enable this. We have many more projects on the drawing Board for all the world.
Power. Only 4th Generation Nuclear Power and later Fusion Power and then matter-antimatter reactions can create sufficient cheap power to save humanity from Eugenocide.
Economics.
GOYA - SATURN EATING HIS SONS LIKE COUNT UGOLINO IN DANTES INFERNO - MONETARISM!!
Monetarism was created by Sauron and used by The Babylonian Empire. All empires under the aegis of Sauron - Babylonian, Roman, Venetian, British - have used Monetarism and all have failed because its true purpose is the vampirism created by poverty - mythical Saturn eating his sons. It has recently been publicised again by Chicago Gangboy Milton Friedman the advisor of Bloody Pinochet. Monetarism is deliberate Eugenocide.
Any competent economist aught to be able to understand that The credit system of Hamilton - after all it was recently used by FDR and his, "new deal" with tremendous success - showed how any economy can grow at 10% per year per year and make everyone rich. One element of the credit system is the separation of Banks and speculation codified in the Glass-Steagal law and recently updated in the Financial Transaction Tax which at one percent will bring in sufficient investment to finish NAWAPA, create hundreds of 4th Generation nuclear 500MW power plants, upgrade the motorways, build thousands of miles of high speed trains, create 4 million high paying scientific jobs for 100 years in each continent so that the educational investment is not wasted and we have 100% employment and everyone is happy and fulfilled. The credit system says destroy the FEDs - all private central banks - and the sovereign governments create trillions of dollars of money used for investment in infrastructure.
George Orwell reflected: "From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery, and therefore to a great extent for human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations But it was also clear that an all-around increase in wealth threatened the destruction... of a hierarchical society. In a world in which everyone worked short hours, had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motorcar or even an air-plane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. If it once became general, wealth would confer no distinction. Such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away.
In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance... Austerity is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another... The social atmosphere is that of a besieged city, where the possession of a lump of horseflesh makes the difference between wealth and poverty. "
As George Orwell concluded in
1984: "War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere,
or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used
to make the masses too comfortable..."
The Science Game
has become so complex, so vast
and so expensive that more or less routine enterprises are given preference.
Anything truly original tends to be excluded by that formidable array of
committees that stands between the scientist and the money he needs for
research. He must either tailor his research plans to fit the preconceived ideas
of the committee or find himself without funds. Moreover, in the Science Game as
in the Art Game there is much insincerity and a frenzied quest for status that
sparks endless puerile arguments over priority of publication. The game is
played not so much for knowledge as to bolster the scientist's ego.
To the Art Game and the
Science Game we must add the Religion Game,
a meta-game played for an aim loosely defined as the attainment of salvation.
The Religion Game, as played in the past, had a fairly well-defined set of
rules. It was essentially a game played by paid priests of one sort or another
for their personal benefit. To compel their fellowmen to play the game, the
priests invented various gods, with whom they alone could communicate, whose
wrath they alone could assuage, whose cooperation they alone could enlist. He
who wanted help from the gods or who wished to avert their wrath had to pay the
priests to obtain his ends. The game was further enlivened, and the hold of the
priests on the minds of their victims further strengthened, by the invention of
two after-death states, a blissful heaven and a terrible hell. To stay out of
the hell and get into the heaven, the player of the Religion Game had to pay the
priests, or his relatives had to pay them after his death. This "pay the priest"
aspect of the Religion Game has caused several cynics to define it as the
world's oldest confidence trick designed to enable certain unscrupulous
individuals to make a profit out of the credulity and suggestibility of their
fellow men by interceding on their behalf with some nebulous god or ensuring
their entry into an equally nebulous heaven. It was this aspect of the Religion
Game that caused Sigmund Freud to exclaim, more in sorrow than anger: "The
whole thing is so patently infantile, so incongruous with reality, that for one
whose attitude to humanity is friendly it is painful to think that the great majority
of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life." 12
A hideous aspect of the Religion Game resulted from the insistence by certain
priests that their brand of god was the only god, that their form of the game
was the only permissible form. So eager were these priests to keep the game
entirely in their own hands that they did not hesitate to persecute, torture or
kill any who happened to wish to play the game by other rules.
This practice was started by the Jews, whose enthusiasm for their one and only
and very jealous father-god justified those slaughterings the accounts of which
constitute so much of the bulk of the Old Testament. As well has how to create
a satanic altar of sacrifice, how big, where to put the holes for the blood to run out
of.
The Policy of the "Long War" is that of economic destruction to keep humanity at
the level of the beast. In Current lexicon, "To bomb them back into the Stone
Age" in order to maintain the control of humanity exerted for thousands of
years. "It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail" - Gengis Khan,
who was paid in Machiavelian manner by the Catholic Popes to attack Islam from
behind. The wars of Napolean and the First and Second World wars to destroy the
economic capacity of Europe. Also Iraq, Iran, Afganistan. The practice was
eagerly adopted by the elite of the so-called Christians, who, not satisfied
with slaughtering Moslems and Jews, turned like rabid dogs on one another in a
series of ghastly religious wars, Protestant versus Catholic. The Moslems, who
borrowed the rules of their Religion Game from Jews and Christians alike, did
not fail to copy the bad habits of both. Believers were exhorted in the Koran to
wage war on the infidel, the slaughter of unbelievers being defined as one sure
way of gaining entry into the Moslem heaven ( a much lusher paradise than the
rather insipid affair offered by their priests to conforming Christians).
It would simplify our account of the games if we could offer the above
description of the Religion Game without further comment. Unfortunately, this is
impossible. Simply to define the Religion Game as the world's oldest con game is
as "patently infantile" ( to borrow Freud's words) as it is to take seriously
the anthropomorphic father-god floating in his bed sheet somewhere in the
stratosphere surrounded by cherubs and seraphs and other improbable species of
celestial fauna (the "gaseous vertebrate" so derided by Ernst Haeckel).
For it must be obvious to any fair-minded observer that there is another element
in the Religion Game besides that of playing on the credulity of believers and
selling them entry permits into a phoney heaven. All the great religions offer
examples of saints and mystics who obviously did not play the game for material
gain, whose indifference to personal comfort, to wealth and to fame was so
complete as to arouse our wonder and admiration. It is equally obvious from the
writings and sayings of these mystics that they were not so naive as to take
seriously either the gaseous vertebrate or heaven with its golden harps or hell
with its ovens. Obviously they played the game by entirely different rules and
for entirely different aims from those of the priestly con men, who sold trips
to heaven for hard cash and insisted on payment in advance (no refund if not
fully satisfied, either).
THE MASTER GAME
What game did these mystics play? Within the matrix imposed by their religion,
these players were attempting the most difficult game of all, the Master Game,
the aim of which is the attainment of full consciousness or real awakening. It
was natural for these players to play their game within a religious matrix. The
basic idea underlying all the great religions is that man is asleep, that he
lives amid dreams and delusions, that he cuts himself off from the universal
consciousness (the only meaningful definition of God) to crawl into the narrow
shell of a personal ego. To emerge from this narrow shell, to regain union with
the universal consciousness, to pass from the darkness of the ego-centered
illusion into the light of the non-ego, this was the real aim of the Religion
Game as defined by the great teachers, Jesus, Gautama, Krishna, Mahavira, Lao-tze
and the Platonic Socrates.
Among the Moslems this teaching was promulgated by the Sufis, who praised in
their poems the delights of reunion with the Friend. To all these players, it
was obvious that the Religion Game as played by the paid priests, with its
shabby confidence tricks, promises, threats, persecutions and killings, was
merely a hideous travesty of the real game, a terrible confirmation of the truth
of the statement: "This people praise me with their lips but their hearts are
far from me. . . They have eyes but see not, ears and hear not, neither do they
understand."
So little did they understand that, at least within the matrix of the
"Christian" religion, it actually became physically dangerous during several
centuries to try to play the Master Game at all. Serious players found
themselves accused of heresy, imprisoned by the Inquisitors, tortured, burned
alive. It became impossible to play the game openly. To survive at all, one had
to adopt a disguise, pretend that one's real interest was alchemy or magic, both
of which were permitted by the priests, who did not understand the real
significance of either.
Alchemy was particularly safe as its stated aim, the transmutation of base
metals into gold, posed no challenge whatever to the authority of the priests.
Therefore it was behind the mask of alchemy that many players of the Master Game
concealed their real aims, formulating the rules of the game in an elaborate
secret code in which the transmutations of substances within the body were
expressed in terms of mercury, sulfur, salt and other ele¬ments. There were, of
course, numerous alchemists who took the whole science at its face value, who
believed that the Great Work referred to the production of metallic gold, who
impoverished and frequently poisoned themselves in the quest for the great
secret, and incidentally laid the foundations of modern chemistry. But for the
serious alchemist the transmutation involved the formation of the pure spiritual
golden aura - Aurum Non Vulgi - Not Fool's Gold, or the genesis of the
homunculus, both of which symbolized the creation of fully conscious, cosmically
oriented man out of the ego-centered puppet that goes by the name of man but is
really only a pathetic caricature of what man could be. So well did the
alchemists conceal their secrets that it took all the intuitive genius of Carl
Gustav Jung (perhaps the leading authority on the subject) a large part of his
life to unravel this mystery.13
"The Name of the Rose" movie and book by Umberto Eco posits monks who play to another set of rules. Don Juan tells Carlos Castaneda that his forebears of his line of sorcerors lived as sextons and priests. "The Valkirie" with Tom Cruise shows how organisations are perverted, this time for a good purpose. The satanic elite play similar games in All political, banking, and religious organisations - even organisations previously inhabited by Masters, as infil-traitors seeking to gain postions of power, thus to subvert the institution and pervert its books for the future.
Thus Master Gamers must find a
genuine Master.
Today no danger is involved in playing or attempting to play the Master Game.
The tyranny of the priests has more or less ended. The Religion Game, though
often as much of a con game as ever, is played without threats of torture and
death. A good deal of the old venom has gone out of the game; in fact, it is
even possible for priests who wear round their necks the label "Catholic" to be
moderately polite to those who wear the once hated label "Protestant." So the
game is now played with a certain amount of restraint not because men have
become more tolerant, but because the whole issue of heaven versus hell,
salvation versus damnation, is no longer taken very seriously. Even the
theologians admit that the old father-god ( Haeckel's "gaseous vertebrate") is
dead as far as anyone above the Jehovah's Witness level is concerned. The fight
today is between rival political systems rather than rival theologies.
But although it is safe to play the Master Game, this has not served to make it
popular. It still remains the most demanding and difficult of games and, in our
society, there are few who play.
Contemporary man, hypnotized by the glitter of his own gadgets, has little
contact with his inner world, concerns himself with outer, not inner space. But
the Master Game is played entirely in the inner world, a vast and complex
territory about which men know very little. The aim of the game is true
awakening, full development of the powers latent in man.
The game can be played only by people whose observations of themselves and
others have led them to a certain conclusion, namely, that man's ordinary state
of consciousness, his so-called waking state, is not the highest level of
consciousness of which he is capable. In fact, this state is so far from real
awakening that it could appropriately be called a form of somnambulism, a
condition of "waking sleep." 14
Once a person has reached this conclusion, he is no longer able to sleep
comfortably. A new appetite develops within him, the hunger for real awakening,
for full consciousness. He realizes that he sees, hears, knows only a tiny
fraction of what he could see, hear and know, that he lives in the poorest,
shabbiest of the rooms in his inner dwelling, but that he could enter other
rooms, beautiful and filled with treasures, the windows of which look out on
eternity and infinity. In these rooms he would transcend his petty personal self
and undergo spiritual rebirth, "the rising from the tomb" which is the theme of
so many myths and the basis of all the mystery religions, including
Christianity.
He who arrives at this conclusion is ready to play the Master Game. But though
he may be ready, he does not necessarily know how to play. He cannot draw upon
instinctive knowledge, for nature has not endowed men with such instincts. She
provides for man's development up to the age of puberty, she endows him with the
instinct to propagate his kind, but after this she leaves him to his own
devices. Far from helping man to develop further into the harmonious and
enlightened being he might become, the blind force of evolution has actually put
obstacles in his way.15
One who would play the Master Game is therefore compelled to seek a teacher, a
skilled player who knows the rules. But where will he find such a teacher? A
materialistic, spiritually impoverished culture can offer no instructions to the
aspirant. The huge, highly specialized training centers that call themselves
universities are obviously lacking in universality. They do not put the emphasis
on expansion of consciousness first and acquisition of specialized knowledge
second. They educate only a small part of man's totality. They cram the
intellectual brain with facts, pay some lip service to the education of the
physical body by encouraging idiotic competitive sports. But true education, in
the sense of expansion of consciousness and the harmonious development of man's
latent powers, they do not offer.
Here it is sufficient to say that the Master Game can never be made easy to
play. It demands all that a man has, all his feelings, all his thoughts, his
entire resources, physical and spiritual. If he tries to play it in a
halfhearted way or tries to get results by unlawful means, he runs the risk of
destroying his own potential. For this reason it is better not to embark on the
game at all than to play it halfheartedly.
Energy Enhancement
The present site offers a synthesis of many methods derived from different
sources, all of which are designed to help the practitioner to emerge from the
darkness of waking sleep into the light of full consciousness. Purely for
convenience, these methods are referred to collectively as Energy Enhancement,
Enhancement because they bring about a higher synthesis, a new level of order
within the psyche. Energy Enhancement is based on the idea that man can create
by his own efforts a new being within himself ( the second birth). As a result,
he can enjoy certain experiences, exercise certain powers, attain certain
insights that are quite inconceivable to man in his once-born state.
Energy Enhancement involves the highest form of creativity of which man is
capable, the creation of a truly inner-directed being out of a helpless
other-directed slave. This creative work involves every aspect of man's
behavior, the instinctive, motor, emotional and intellectual. It involves an
understanding of the chemistry of the body and of the mind. It involves a study
of type and all that pertains to type, the strengths and weaknesses that type
imposes.
It involves a study of creative activity, arts, crafts, techniques of various
kinds and of the effects these activities produce on levels of consciousness. It
involves a study of events on the large scale and on the small, an awareness of
the processes taking place in human and nonhuman communities that affect the
individual adversely or otherwise. For man cannot be studied apart from his
environment and he who would know himself must also know the world in which he
lives.
The theory of Energy Enhancement can be studied in books." The practice is a
different matter. For this a teacher is necessary. One who tries to practice the
method without a teacher almost inevitably encounters certain difficulties which
he cannot surmount. The illusion-creating mechanism in man's psyche does not
cease to operate merely because a man decides to practice Creative Psychology.
In fact, in such a one, it may operate all the more actively. So he may enjoy
all sorts of pseudo-experiences, the result not of an expansion of consciousness
but of the workings of his own imagination. A teacher can help him to sort out
the true from the false, can warn him about the traps that lie in his path.
Furthermore, the solitary practitioner of Energy Enhancement lives today in a
culture that is more or less totally opposed to the aims he has set himself,
that does not recognize the existence of the Master Game, and regards players of
this game as queer or slightly mad.
The player thus confronts great opposition from the culture in which he lives and must strive with forces which tend to bring his game to a halt before it has even started. Only by finding a teacher and becoming part of the group of pupils that that teacher has collected about him can the player find encouragement and support. Otherwise he simply forgets his aim, or wanders off down some side road and loses himself. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find such teachers and such groups.
They do not advertise, they operate under disguises. Moreover, there exists an abundance of frauds and fools who pass themselves off as teachers without having any right to do so. So the would-be player of the Master Game encounters at the outset one of the most difficult tests in his career. He must find a teacher who is neither a fool nor a fraud and convince that teacher that he, the would-be pupil, is worth teaching. His future development depends largely on the skill with which he performs this task. 20
FROM DON MINIHANES COURSE REPORT - LAST WEEK OF ENERGY ENHANCEMENT REIKI MASTERY OPTION
"I am now in the last week of the course and I feel like a totally different person. I have regained myself and have been given from nothing having no psychic vision at all at the start of the energy enhancement course, a clarity of psychic vision that is breathtaking."
"As we practiced on each other we came very quickly to realise this. I could literally feel the energy moving inside each chakra as the other person worked within me from several meters away and when I worked on the other person I could see me projecting energy to them and could see where the blockages were within their chakras.
I could force the energy from my centres into their centres and clean their centre bringing the energy full circle back to me. You could tell the state of their chakras by the amount of energy returning to your own centre and this was achieved by mind power only.
Before I came here Satchi said he would teach me to do it in this way and I was sceptical about this claim. I could never envision me having psychic vision, but I have now, I can now do astonishingly powerful Reiki sessions on people without going any where near them and distance healing over any distance is a piece of cake, incredible stuff."
"I am totally de-stressed and have expanded in every way. I feel stronger and fitter and much more mentally agile than I have ever felt in my life. The fog and confusion of life has gone and I feel that I have just received the inside information on everything.
I am ready for anything and am wide awake. I am full of the most incredible energy imaginable and have Energy Enhancement Reiki that is so powerful it staggers me. I know a thing or two about Reiki and had a very strong Reiki connection before I got here, now I have a connection that is beyond description and I have yet to undergo the second initiation this week and then the masters. I have opted to take this as an extra and for anyone who is interested, I believe this is beyond anything you will ever experienced anywhere."
I am now equipped with life tools and healing tools that one only dreams of and there is nothing out there in the world that will ever faze me again. I am absolutely delighted that I decided to come here, because this experience has changed me, for the good of me and for all those that I will touch when I leave here. I am so excited and can’t wait to start exploring my new found talents"

THOMAS BLAIRS REPORT JULY 9TH 2010
I have been to see Satchi & Devi almost once a year since 2005, and I have to say, that I have never been let down. Every time they greet me at the airport I am received in an atmosphere of great warmth, positivity and generosity, into which I soon relax and know that it’s safe to be me with all my “luggage”. In June 2010 I recently went on a 6 week course they were holding in India.
In the weeks I spent with them it was clear that the blockages I was removing with their help, were increasing the amount of energy flowing through me during meditation. I have never been one to naturally take to meditating, but with these new experiences of Samadhi (sam – with, adhi – light), it was certainly making it possible for me to sit for much longer periods.
I must concede, that on more than one occasion I started to object and complain about what we were doing, and the methods employed to transmute the blockages in my being. Satchi & Devi would patiently wait for me to see that the person complaining was not the real me, it was not the soul infused personality that I really am, but rather the voice of the blockages that did not want to go. There are different types of blockages, and of course, the easy ones are the first to go, but I was now experiencing some really tough ones. They can certainly be very cunning these blockages, and its thanks to the experience and energy of Satchi & Devi that I was able to continue on my way to overcome some really strong blockages.
My experiences of Samadhi: The first time I experienced anything other than a calm mind in meditation was actually the very first course I attended with Satchi & Devi in Spain. The experience of energy surging through my body was first felt in my 1st and 2nd chakras. It was like having champagne bubbling away in my lower abdomen. Before I talk about my experience here in India, I think it would be useful to describe briefly and partly a technique used to commence the flow of energy and so the entry into Samadhi. It’s to do with using the mind to visualise chakras above the head and below the base chakra to infinity. For me, the concept of infinity and trying to imagine this distance above my head, kind of triggered a bypass switch in my mind, and all of a sudden my mind was quite literally replaced by a surge of electricity and light – Samadhi.
"If the Map is Correct, Experiences Follow" - Satchidanand
This time here in India I was experiencing different levels of Samadhi. During meditation I notice the attainment of a constant flow of energy through my being which gets more and more intense, and rises further and further up my body, the higher I go up the chakras above my head to an inconceivably bright and intense sun. Quite often my breathing slows or even stops a while at the head of an in-breath as my head feels infused with light. My body feels like it is being purified, and in fact it is, as light is being shone through me. I always finish the meditation feeling more positive about my life and the world around me and a feeling that really everything is ok.
Over and above this, I receive what I would describe as bolts of light lasting between 2-5 seconds.
During these brief moments, I am no longer a body with senses or even a sense of weighing or being anything, and am unable to think.
"In the Buddhafield we find we can Move On More Quickly!" - Satchidanand
It’s my experience that the body is like a resistor in an electronic circuit. The more blockages we have, the greater the resistance to the light. By removing a significant number of blockages, I have reduced the resistance of my gross and subtle body, and am now able to sit in Samadhi with ease. And of course, the more light I can sit in, the more blockages I can remove - now that’s what I call spiritual progress!
