The Merging Game

Separation is one of the biggest and most fundamental illusions in our world. It’s one of the root causes behind suffering, violence, and rejection. The Truth is that We Are All One.

Here’s a fun game you can try out.  Try it over the next few weeks, or even months, and watch how radically your perspective of the world shifts. (Thank you to Neale Donald Walsch for providing the inspiration for this game.)

The Merging Game

Every time you see something outside yourself, don’t separate yourself from it. Merge with it. Encourage your mind to think thoughts of Oneness.

Look at that bum and say, “There I am, being homeless.”
Look at the movie star and say, “There I am, being famous.”
Look at the grass and say, “There I am, being the grass.”

Just keep seeing yourself everywhere. Just look and say, “I am that.”

Next thing you know, you’ll be walking down the street with a friend. He’ll more than likely notice the way you’re looking at things in such a deep way and ask you, “What are you thinking?”

The conversation might flow something like this:

“Well, I was thinking about how I am that.”

“You are that? What are you talking about?”

So you start pointing to things all around you and say “I am that. I am that. I am that.”

He’ll counter, “No you’re not. You’re you.”

“Not really. Not in ultimate reality. In this world of illusion, I am ‘me’ over here, but in ultimate reality, I am ‘me’ over here, and I am that.”

“huh?”

“Really. I am that… I am.”

All of the sudden, you realize you’ve merged with God himself. You’re now pointing to different things, telling people, “I am that, I am.”

Playing this game, you notice it becomes WAY easier to develop compassion and unconditional love for people.

For example, say someone in your life is arguing with you and making you angry. It becomes a battle between you and them.

Merge with them. Say to yourself, “I am Bob, offering my opinion.”

Suddenly all the anger vanishes. The battle of You vs. Them has become a discussion within Yourself.

No more duality, no more separation, no more illusion.
