Have you ever played monopoly?

Hello amazing ones,

I trust you are all well. I’m wondering if you have ever desired silence?  To be in quiet all day, no phone, no TV, no social media, no music, just pure silence? I have been dreaming about silence for some time now, and at first I thought this means I have to find a place in the mountains (quietly dreaming of Big Bear & smiling) but then I remembered I’m in Mexico and maybe being alone in some corner of a mountain might not be the best place to find peace; so I did the next best thing. I told my friends I’m going to have my phone off and computer off, and that was that.

My dogs and I spend a couple of days in silence, and it was heavenly. Clarity replaced all the noise of social media, it was so much easier to be one with my breath, I didn’t have to wait for my daily meditation to accomplish this. The phone was off and I didn’t have to check messages every hour. Mentally I was and am so relaxed, I didn’t hear about all the bad things happening around the world all day long. I did realize that it’s best for me to do this more often. So, I highly recommend it. A friend of mine does it once a week until noon time, she spends the morning by herself and writes in her journal and takes a mental break from the world outside. Find what works for you, maybe an evening or two during the week.

A few days later as I sat quietly watching my dogs, spirit reminded me of a revelation which I had at the end of a pilgrimage to Egypt. At that time I shared it with my spiritual teacher who lead the group there, and her response was “you get it Arsi”; and we both laughed out loud. As I did the other day, when spirit reminded me that all of this is an illusion. We all agreed to play a certain role here, whatever your life is right now is what you agreed to. I laughed at the role I have agreed to play, I mean real belly laughs.

You know those guys who sit in their high class country club with leather seats and smoke cigars and drink fine whiskey and think they own the world, the financial system, all humans within it, they are a big fat joke. They have no power, it’s an illusion. When they leave earth, let’s say if earth is earth they will realize the life they lived was a false one. The only thing we can take back with us from this illusion is our heart and our consciousness. That’s it. All this power, ego, money, nothing else is real, it’s all a monopoly game. What do you do when the game is over, you put the pieces away in the box and walk away. You walk away with your heart and your consciousness.

What do you do the next time you play monopoly, you pick a different icon to represent you, and you play it differently and maybe this time around you get to be the one with lots of land and hotels. I sure hope everyone reading this knows how to play monopoly. haha.

In conclusion, if you are not happy with the icon you have now, pick a new one and start playing. Just say I’m done with this one old character, the one who is always sad, or alone, or feels unworthy of love, or poor or XYZ, just leave that one behind and pick a new character to be. Remembering you get to take your heart and your consciousness with you.

Let me put it differently, what if we are in simulation and you have a certain program you are running but you see one that is better, then upload the new program. Maybe you love the icon you have, just a couple of things you would like to improve wonderful upload that program.

How? You might ask. How do I upload a new program.

Good question, some answers were given above, and more will be given next week. Have an awesome day

Many blessings, Arsi
