The Master Game

By Robert S. de Ropp [1913-1987]
English biochemist

Seek above all, for a game worth playing. Such is advice of the Oracle to modern man. Having found the game play it with intensity - play as if your life and sanity depend on it. [They do depend on it.]

Follow the example of French existentialists and flourish a banner bearing the word ‘engagement’. Though nothing means anything, and all roads are marked ‘NO EXIT’, move as if your movements have a purpose. If life does not seem to offer a game worth playing then invent one. For it must be clear, even to the most clouded intelligence, that any game is better than no game.

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 human, hypnotized by the glitter of its own gadgets, and little contact with its inner world, concerns itself with outer, not inner space. But the Master Game is played entirely in the inner world, a vast and complex territory about which humans know very little.

The aim of the Master Game is true awakening, full development of powers latent in humans. The game can be played only by humans whose observations of themselves and others have led them to a certain conclusion, namely that the human ordinary state of consciousness or so-called waking state, is not the highest level of consciousness to which humans are 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’.

Once a person has reached this conclusion, they are no longer able to sleep comfortably. A new appetite develops within the hunger for real awakening, for full consciousness. They realize what they see, hear, and know is only a tiny fraction of what they could see, hear and know. They live in the poorest, shabbiest of the rooms in their inner dwelling, when they could enter other rooms, beautiful and filled with treasures, the windows of which look out on eternity and infinity.

The solitary player lives today in a culture that is more or less totally opposed to the aims humans set for themselves, does not recognize 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 they live, and must strive with forces which tend to bring their game to a halt before it has even started. Only by finding a teacher and becoming part of the group of pupils that teacher has collected about them, can the player find encouragement and support. Otherwise humans simply forget their aim, or wander off down some road and lose themselves.

Here, it is sufficient to say that the Master Game can NEVER be made easy to play. It demands all that a human has; all their feelings, all their thoughts, their entire resources, physical and spiritual. If humans try to play the Master Game in a half-hearted way, or try to get results by unlawful means, they run the risk of destroying their own potential. For this reason, it is better not to embark on the game at all, than to play it half-heartedly. https://selfdefinition.org/psychology/Robert-S-De-Ropp-The-Master-Game.pdf
