What if we're just playing a cosmic game of hide-and-seek w/ the Divine---the Light?
What if we said, "Hey! it's just too easy to bask here in the free gift of Everything. Let us earn it! Let's play a game!" And before you could say "big bang" off we went....the Light hiding while we counted to 10. ;>
That kind of puts an entirely different spin on things, doesn't it? :)
