The game of self-discovery lila. Game Lila - my experience of using 72 51 in the game Lila analysis

In reality there is only one a game, a game in which each of us is an actor playing a role. This game - Leela, universal game of cosmic energy, divine game inherent in nature Higher Self. It is to this aspect that the entire phenomenal world—the world of names and forms—owes its existence. Leela - this is life itself, energy, manifested in myriads of thoughts, feelings and events passing before the gaze of the individual.

The essence of a player lies in his ability to accept his role and play. This entity can enter into any role, but as soon as the player enters the game, he begins to identify himself with the assumed role and forgets about his true nature. He forgets the essence of the game and now his movements are determined dice, corresponding to karma .

There are moments when the sunlight suddenly illuminates the entire picture of the waves and currents that make up the flow of the river, just as the pure light of consciousness snatches the structure of the player's life role from the darkness. At these moments, nature and the flow of life energy come to the fore and liberation occurs. The player rises above the attachment to his role and begins to see his life as part of a larger whole.

The purpose of this game is to help players break free of identifications and become “better” players. This game serves as a microcosm of another, bigger game. The contents of the seventy-two squares of the game board represent the result of hundreds and thousands of years of self-knowledge that forms the heart of Indian tradition. Moving from square to square, as his understanding of the game expands, the player becomes increasingly aware of the structure of his own existence. He sees that every condition is temporary and his attachment weakens. Full awareness of the transitory nature of any situation destroys identifications, and the player goes on a free journey, learning more and more about the miracle of Existence.

Like other games, there is a goal. Since the essence of the player is the ability to identify, his only chance to “win” is to come to an identification with his Source - Cosmic Consciousness, the essence of pure Being, beyond space and time, without boundaries, eternal and unchanging, absolute and all-encompassing, without no qualities, no form, no name. The game ends when the player becomes himself, the essence of the game. That's Lila .

The sages who discovered this game used it to understand their own condition on this moment. By watching themselves move from plane to plane, they could see which snakes were leading them to their downfall and which arrows were leading them, determined by the dice. karma, reflecting the level of evolution of players. They consciously followed the picture created by their movements around the board. As they went through the game over and over again, they carefully observed their reactions when they hit a particular field. By observing their inner space, they developed a state of non-involvement. At the same time, the structure of the game allowed them to become more and more deeply imbued with the divine principles and knowledge underlying the game. It was the study of scriptures and the study of one’s “I”, combined in one process. This is the uniqueness of Lila - games of self-discovery.

The hero of my review today is a very unusual board game called LILA. It is sometimes called a transformation game or a prediction game. If you are a little tired of the usual Activities, Monopolies and Hats, read on.

I’ll say right away: I’m not interested in esotericism and in general I’m rather a skeptic by nature (although, probably, some part of my soul believes in miracles). I just love Board games. And when friends suggested we get together and play LILA, I thought - why not?

I first decided to read the description of the game to understand what I fit into. From it I learned that LILA is an ancient Indian game that is used to predict the future and look for answers to one’s questions. The rules also stated that You will need a personal item to play, which will act as a chip. It's important that the player feels connected to the thing.

I chose my favorite earring based on the principle that I wear it almost every day, which means it definitely stores my energy. After the game, I remembered that I was wearing these earrings when I got into a serious motorcycle accident in September of this year and miraculously was almost unharmed. In general, if you believe that things have energy, then these earrings have really strong energy.

Also for the game need to formulate some question or request, to which LILA will give the answer. Why such a long preface will become clear during the review process.

So, about the game itself. There were 10 of us together + the presenter was a mutual friend of ours who had played LILA more than once and led it. He led the process.

We placed our amulets on the playing field. In order to enter the game, it was necessary for the number 6 to appear on the die. I rolled first and - lo and behold - I immediately rolled a six!

The first square you land on is called Birth. And then you follow your path playing field, where each cell has its own meaning. The task is to reach cell 68 - Cosmic Consciousness. In the process, there are cells with so-called arrows that propel you forward, and snakes that throw you back. So it's not that easy to get through.

In theory, the game should come with cards with texts - descriptions of the meaning of the cells - but the presenter did not bring them. We read their meanings from the Internet.

The descriptions are quite complex and abstract; they can be interpreted in different ways. In some ways this is reminiscent of fortune telling from books. Examples of cells: “Birth”, “Envy”, “Vanity”, “Compassion”, “Happiness”.

Of the 10 people who gathered for the game, only three were able to join it (one of them was me). The rest were unable to roll a six to start the game. It’s interesting that it was the three of us who wanted to play LILA, the rest came just for the company. Accident? Don't know. According to the presenter, the mood for the game is very important. If a person is not in the mood, most likely he will not enter the game.

In the end, I reached the finish line first, literally in a few moves. The presenter was very surprised, saying that this was almost the first time he had seen this.

No, I’m not bragging, I was even a little sorry that my path turned out to be so easy and fast. I wanted to understand what my obstacles were on the way to achieving my plans in order to successfully overcome them!

Then I talked one-on-one with the presenter and asked him why my journey was so fast. His opinion was this: there are no obstacles to the fulfillment of my plans, except those that I came up with for myself. All roads are open.

Whether this is true or not, time will tell. It's only been a week since the game.

The review turned out to be abstract and slightly philosophical - but, in fact, this is exactly what the game LILA is.

• People passionate about self-knowledge and various kinds of fortune-telling.
• For lovers of leisurely games to think about.
• Well, just for those who are curious.

37. Wisdom (jnana or jnana)

Pure wisdom, free from judgment and evaluation, is the power that lifts the player to the plane of bliss, located in the eighth row beyond the chakras. A player who understands his role in the game and the nature of the actions that will allow him to fulfill this role lives in bliss. Jnana is awareness, but not final realization. Jnana is penetration into the essence, but not the essence itself.

38. Prana-loka

Prana is life force. In Sanskrit it is synonymous with life and the name of the breath of life that we receive with every breath. Prana is<дух>in the body, the connection between the soul and the physical shell. Consciousness leaves the body along with prana. With the help of pranayama, yogis raise prana along the spine and achieve various siddhis - mystical perfections.

39. Apana Loka

Apana is, in contrast to prana, the energy that goes down and is responsible for bodily secretions. This is the main force that helps cleanse the body. The mixing of prana and apana causes the awakening of kundalini - the colossal energy contained at the base of the spine. Kundalini bestows physical immortality and supernatural powers.

40. Vyana-loka

Vyana takes pranic energy from the lungs and distributes it to all systems of the body. This vital energy is responsible for the flow of blood, the secretion of glands, the downward and upward movements of the body, and the opening and closing of the eyelids. Together with prana and apana, they are responsible for the normal functioning of the body. Complete control over prana, apana and vyana allows the yogi to get rid of bodily influence and direct his energy to the higher chakras. The player's understanding of the divine presence in all creation, acquired during the journey through the fourth chakra, forces him to seek the Divine within himself, and thus his attention is drawn to the processes occurring in his body and reflecting the processes of the macrocosm. His consciousness and experience expand, blurring the line between internal and external.

41. Human plane (jana-loka)

Jana-loka (or Jnana-loka, the sphere of wisdom), the fifth plane of the fifth level, is the abode of siddhas (beings who have reached a high degree of development and have powers that enable them to perform actions<сверхъестественные>for people on the lower planes) and saints who are constantly immersed in contemplation of Lord Vishnu. The air element predominates here, and the bodies of beings on this plane are composed of pure wisdom, not subject to desire. On this plane, the player understands the true meaning of what it means to be human. Often this is achieved directly from the level of the third chakra with the arrow leading from the field of selfless service.

42. Plan of Agni (Agni-loka)

Agni or fire - fire is the source of both colors and forms that constitute the essence of the world of phenomena. Fire is a rough manifestation of energy, its conductor. A player entering this plane understands that his body is also only a means, an object of sacrifice. That is why fire is seen as a mediator between man and God. All religious rituals are performed in the presence of Agni as the eternal witness and recipient of the sacrifice. Fire is present in all creation; nothing can be hidden from it. He is a witness who excludes any deception and self-deception.

43. Birth of man (manushya-janma)

Going through the plane of Agni prepares the player for real birth. Conceived in the second chakra, nurtured and raised in the third, filled with human emotions in the fourth, the player is now ready for the resurrection of his true human essence - for a second birth. He becomes twice-born, a brahmana - a follower of the Absolute Truth, Brahman.

44. Ignorance (avidya)

Vidya means<знание, ведение>, a is a negation prefix. Lack of knowledge is ignorance. Knowledge is the player's understanding of his role in the game, wherever he is at the moment. A player who finds himself in the field of ignorance forgets about the illusory nature of existence and becomes attached to certain emotional states or sensory perceptions. The energy of a player bitten by the snake of ignorance drops to the level of the first chakra and the plane of sensuality. Loss of understanding of the nature of maya (illusion) leads to clouding of his intellect and leads to identification with certain states.

45. Right knowledge (suvidya)

If jnana is the realization of truth,<правильное знание>includes awareness and behavior (practice). This combination lifts the player to the eighth plane, to the field of cosmic good. And now only one step separates him from his goal. He realizes himself as a macrocosm in a microcosm, an ocean contained in a drop. Correct knowledge adds a new dimension to jnana, the awareness of the unity of past, present and future. The field of correct knowledge completes the passage of the fifth chakra, the fifth row of the game. At this stage, the player reaches full awareness of his unity with the cosmos, he connects with ultimate reality and ascends to the plane of Rudra (Shiva), the plane of cosmic good.

46 Discrimination (Viveka)

Discernment is the ability to listen to your inner voice that tells you what is true and what is not. Viveca could not appear in the game earlier. The player can only get here by going through the correct knowledge field (45). If the player hits the arrow of correct knowledge, he immediately ascends to the plane of cosmic good. Otherwise, he has to resort to the power of discrimination to determine further move games. The ability to discriminate raises one to the plane of happiness. At the level of the sixth chakra, a person overcomes the influence of gross matter and becomes able to see the past, present and future in any direction - his third eye opens. But the subtle influence of maya remains. The inner voice or the voice of the Lord in the heart serves as a reliable guide.

47.Plan of neutrality (sarasvati)

In the sixth chakra, the negative and positive influence of chakras and energies gradually disappears and only neutral remains. The plane of Saraswati is the realm of the goddess of the same name. Here the player is surrounded by pure music and lives in a state of vidya, knowledge. Saraswati, the deity of learning and beauty, gives him the opportunity to achieve balance and be beyond the influence of the energy fields of existence. Now he can simply watch the game progress.

48. Solar plane (yamuna)

In the sixth chakra, the player establishes a balance between the masculine, solar principle and the feminine, lunar principle. This harmonious fusion of elements creates<я>an observer who is neither male nor female, but a harmonious combination of both. Below the sixth chakra, the solar and lunar energies are intertwined with each other, but here they merge and become one. This sense of a single whole characterizes the plane of asceticism. On the solar plane, awareness of solar energy comes, but this energy does not affect the observer standing in the Yamuna River and feeling the hot solar energy of creation and destruction, life and death passing through him. Yamuna - sister of the God of Death Yama

49. Lunar plan (ganga)

A player who finds himself on this plane finds himself at the source of attractive and enveloping female magnetic energy or psychic energy, which balances the solar energy of creativity.

50. Plan of asceticism (tapa-loka)

Just as in the fifth chakra knowledge was of primary importance to the player, here, on the plane of asceticism, all the player’s aspirations are aimed at performing the hard work of repentance and asceticism. The word tapas means<подвижничество>, <умерщвление плоти>, <горение>. This is the practice of self-denial meditation. Tapa-loka is inhabited by great yogis and ascetics who have gone down the path from which there is no return, immersed in deep asceticism, the goal of which is to move up to the next level, satya-loka. The player can enter tapa loka directly through the practice of sudharma (the plane of religiosity) in the fourth chakra, or gradually by moving through the fifth chakra, developing consciousness and mastering the lunar and solar energy system.

51. Earth (prithivi)

The earth symbolizes the great mother principle. This is the stage on which consciousness plays its eternal game known as Leela. Here the player understands that the earth is not just soil, but Mother Earth. The player discovers new patterns and harmonies, new ways of playing, previously hidden from him in the fog created by involvement in the lower chakras. Despite the fact that her children cut her body and burn her soul, the Earth gives them diamonds, gold, platinum. She selflessly follows the law of Dharma and does not discriminate between high and low. That is why the earth's field is located in the sixth chakra. We see her body, the physical plane of the first chakra. What we cannot see is her spirit, her understanding, her generosity and kindness, her greatness. This is the understanding that comes to the player when he reaches the sixth chakra. If the player fails to achieve Cosmic Consciousness, he will have to return again to Mother Earth and from here again start towards the highest goal.

52. Plan of violence (himsa loka)

A player who has reached the sixth chakra realizes the unity of all things. Human bodies serve only as transitory forms. The true essence of all players exists beyond the realm of name and form. The player knows that death is just a change in life's scenario. There is a danger here that the player will resort to violence, knowing full well that his actions ultimately do not cause any real harm to other players. But he has not yet completely freed himself from karma, and violating the laws of dharma will entail a fall to the fourth level - to Purgatory.

53. Plane of liquids (jala-loka)

Water is cold by nature; it absorbs heat, bringing coolness. The heat of the asceticism of the sixth chakra, asceticism, makes the player cruel. He needs to pass through the clear waters of the liquid plane in order to extinguish the burning energy of violence and turn it into the even warmth of spiritual love.

54. Plane of spiritual devotion (bhakti-loka)

Bhakti, or spiritual devotion, is based on the statement:<Любовь есть Бог, а Бог есть любовь>. A bhakta devotee loves his Deity. The deity is the beloved, and the devotee is the lover. Bhakti is a direct method, it is the shortest path to the Divine. All yoga and all knowledge, jnana, rest on the cornerstone of true faith, true devotion and love, true bhakti. There is nothing higher than love, and bhakti is the religion of love. Jnana makes the player a sage while bhakti transforms him into a divine child in the lap of his Mother under the benevolent protection of the Father. The sage has to go long haul to meet the Lord. Bhakta is always surrounded by his Divinity, present in its myriad forms and names in every particle of life experience.

55. Selfishness (ahamkara)

Ahamkara is the feeling of separateness of one's existence. When a player's entire attention is directed exclusively to satisfying his desires, even spiritual ones, he becomes selfish. Satisfaction of spiritual and material desires pushes into the background love, humility, sincerity, consideration for others and all other dharmic qualities. Focusing on oneself is contrary to the spiritual path - the path from oneself to the Divine. As soon as obstacles to the satisfaction of desires arise, such a player falls into the old trap of anger and sinks to the first level.

56. Plane of primordial vibrations (Omkara)

Om is the one sound present everywhere in the Universe, manifested and unmanifested. It is the most subtle form in which energy exists. Omkara is the plane of vibrations that produces this cosmic sound that is in harmony with all other vibrations. The player who gets here realizes that Om is a vibration that fills all elements of existence.

57. Plane of gases (vayu-loka)

Vayu-loka (literally<план воздуха>) is located in the region of satya-loka, the plane of reality, in the seventh row of the playing board. This vayu is not the wind or air that is on the physical or earthly plane. This is the essence of the physical element air. Vayu-loka is a plane where the player becomes a flow of energy, along with which the entire atmosphere moves, overcoming the force of gravity. Enlightened souls with light bodies live here, who have not yet reached satya-loka - the plane of reality. In the sixth chakra we meet the plane of liquids, but liquid still has a form. Gas does not have any specific shape. A liquid has weight, a gas does not. The player is no longer burdened by anything; he has acquired true freedom of action. He becomes a being that is not subject to gravity and has no form.

58. Plane of Radiance (Teja Loka)

Teja is the light that was created in the beginning. The world that we perceive in the waking state is a world of appearances and forms, a phenomenal world subsisting in the light (teja) from which it materializes. This world is similar to the world of our dreams, but is not it. This state is completely<сделано>from the light and in it dwell the truly enlightened.

59 Plane of reality (satya-loka)

Satya Loka is the last plane of the seven main lokas located in the spinal column of the playing board. Here the player reaches the world of Shabda-Brahman and is on the verge of liberation from the cycle of rebirth. He reached the highest plane, beyond which lies Vaikuntha, the seat of Cosmic Consciousness. On this plane the player is established in Reality. Here the player reaches his highest chakra and becomes a reality, a realized being. He is in a blissful state of samadhi, like a drop in the ocean. But even here the player has not yet achieved liberation. Here, on the seventh level of the game, there are three snakes. The first is selfishness. The second is negative intelligence. The third is tamas. Upon reaching the plane of reality, the player has escaped one of these snakes, but two await him ahead, challenging his quest for liberation.

60. Positive intelligence (subuddhi)

Subuddhi is the correct understanding that comes only with the attainment of the plane of reality. After the player has achieved satya-loka, his consciousness becomes perfect and free from duality and he perceives the Divine in all forms and phenomena of this world. Such consciousness is subuddhi.

61. Negative intelligence (durbuddhi)

If the player does not follow the laws of Dharma, doubting the cosmic nature of existence and the divine presence in his every experience, he is bitten by the snake of negative intelligence, throwing him down to the plane of insignificance. He has not learned to accept everything the world offers him, to take advantage of all opportunities for development and to see the hand of God in everything. Now he has to go through all the planes of vibration related to the second chakra, unless the arrows of compassion and charity help. If he does not resort to these arrows, he will have to atone for his negativity (box 21 - atonement) and find the Dharma again or take an entirely new course of action.

62 Happiness (sukha)

Happiness, or sukha, comes to the player when his consciousness tells him that he is very close to the goal, giving him confidence that he is approaching liberation. The feelings he experiences are indescribable, they cannot be described in words. He feels the happiness the river feels when it connects with the ocean after a journey of a thousand miles. This is the feeling of merging with your source. If, while in such a happy state, the player does not neglect his karma, does not become lazy and passive, he has a real chance of achieving Cosmic Consciousness during this life. But if he is so overwhelmed by the experience of happiness that he forgets to act, feeling that his mission is near the end, the snake of tamas, lurking next to him, is ready to swallow him, returning his energy to the level of the first chakra.

In Sanskrit the word tamas means<тьма>. Tamas is the snake of darkness, the longest snake in the game, which mercilessly drags the player into an illusion from the radiance of the plane of reality. In the seventh chakra, tamas is ignorance that arises from attachment to sense perception. This ignorance comes after the player realizes the state of happiness and thinks that this is the end of the need to fulfill karma. But here the player cannot stop all activity yet. He forgot that until he achieves liberation, the game is not over. Inaction is an attempt to escape the law of karma. Tamas is an attribute of tamoguna, its manifestation in the microcosm. When the same power is discussed as an attribute of prakriti in the eighth row of the game, it is called tamoguna.

64. Phenomenal plane (prakriti-loka)

Manifested prakriti is the material world, consisting of the elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether (akasha), as well as mind (manas), intellect (buddhi) and ego (ahamkara). These are the eight gross manifestations of prakriti. Divine prakriti is Maya-Shakti, the illusory energy of God, the shadow of God.

65. Plan of internal space (Uranta-loka)

Having left behind the seventh row and realizing the existence of prakriti, the player begins to penetrate into the source of all phenomena of the phenomenal world - the great consciousness. The player merges with him, and at that moment all duality disappears. The player gets a pure experience of the vast dimensions, the infinite space that lies within him<Я>.

66. Plane of Bliss (ananda-loka)

Consciousness is described as truth, being and bliss - Satchidananda. Ananda is the highest truth, the essence of existence. In the process of creation<Я>gradually becomes covered with five shells. Of these, the first and most subtle is anandamaya kosha - the body of pure being, pure experience of consciousness. This is the body of bliss, in the center of which resides the Cosmic Consciousness. During the period corresponding to creation, it acts as an individual consciousness.

67. Plan of cosmic benefit (Rudra-loka)

Rudra is one of the names of Shiva. The entire creation goes through three phases. Manifestation is accompanied by the maintenance of the emerging form and inevitably ends in decay or destruction. These three processes - creation, maintenance (preservation) and destruction are carried out by the three forces of the Almighty, who was not created by anyone, but who creates everything. From his will the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva) were born. These three forces are interdependent and interconnected. Creation occurs according to the will of the Lord, and by His will what is created is preserved and ultimately destroyed. Without the destruction of false self-identification - the concept of a separate reality, the individual ego - true union (yoga) is impossible. Thus, Shiva, destroying the false ego, connects individual consciousness with its cosmic source. Rudra-loka is one of the three central squares of the highest row of the playing board, where the divine forces responsible for the entire creation are located, with which everyone seeking liberation strives to unite. The quest for correct knowledge leads the player to the abode of Shiva. Here he comes to the realization of the cosmic good, the essence of which is truth, and the form is beauty.

68. Cosmic Consciousness (Vaikuntha Loka)

Rising above all lokas, beyond all limits, is Vaikuntha - the loka of Cosmic Consciousness, the life force (prana) of all manifested reality. This loka also consists of an element called mahat, which serves as the source of all other elements. Before the game begins, the participant accepts the importance and meaning of this plane of Existence, which will always be his goal. Vaikuntha is the abode of Vishnu, the place that every follower of Hinduism hopes to reach after ending existence in his present form. Here is the Cosmic Consciousness, since Vishnu, being the Truth, is the patron and protector of consciousness in its ascent. Points falling on dice karma correspond to the player’s vibration level. The die determines both the player’s position on the field and the path traveled and the path ahead. The player can follow the discipline of Ashtanga Yoga, the Eightfold Path, gradually progressing level by level. Or, following the Dharma, become a bhakta - a spiritual devotee. All paths lead to one goal. Whatever the path of the player among all the countless possibilities, he has now reached the abode of Vishnu. Vishnu, who serves as the essence of creation, Truth. It is located directly above the plane of reality, since Truth is the highest reality. The game stops. What happens now is up to the player. Nature space game simple - it is the discovery of new combinations. With what new karmas, with what companions will the player be able to re-enter the game, striving again to find a state that will be his true refuge? He can continue this game of hide and seek with himself or remain outside the game forever. Or he may return back to Earth to help other seekers achieve their goal.

69. Plane of the Absolute (Brahma-loka)

On one side of Vaikuntha-loka is Rudra, and on the other is Brahma. Together they form the triad of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in the center of the top row of the playing board. Those who are strengthened in the truth dwell here without fear of a subsequent return to fulfilling karmic roles. Practitioners of mercy also come here; they stay in the abode of Brahma without fear. Brahma is the creator of the material world, the active principle of noumenon, the force that transforms consciousness into countless forms and reflections. His abode is Brahma-loka. The player who reaches this place merges with this absolute force, this subtle principle. Even though Brahma Loka is located near the plane of Cosmic Consciousness, Brahma cannot give the player liberation. The game must go on. Brahma determines the form of the game, but there is something more than form. Only Truth, realized on the path of spiritual devotion or through gradual movement along the ladder of yoga to the Supreme Good (Shiva) can grant final liberation.

70. Sattvaguna

Sattva itself is the guna of virtue, conducive to the fulfillment of Dharma. Sattvaguna is synonymous with such concepts as light, essence, true nature and higher levels vibrations. The calm, equanimous state of meditation leading to samadhi is realized when sattva predominates. But the three gunas in the world of karma always exist together and sattva sooner or later turns out to be mixed with rajas (passion) or tamas (ignorance). Impure sattva is always subject to the influence of karma. Pure sattva is not different from Cosmic Consciousness, the Supreme Truth. Sat means<истина>.

71. Rajoguna

Rajoguna is activity in consciousness, or active consciousness. A player who has reached the eighth row, but has failed in his attempt to realize Cosmic Consciousness, is carried forward by the forces of karma and activity. This activity is the cause of all suffering, it presupposes the presence of a doer who inevitably falls victim to his ambitions and expectations of fruits from activity. Any obstacle on the way to the desired goal gives rise to pain and suffering.

72. Tamoguna

Tamoguna hides the truth so that the rope appears to be a snake, and the snake appears to be a rope. Darkness is the main characteristic of tamoguna, and its nature is passivity. A player who enters here immediately leaves the cosmic force level and returns to earth to find a new path to ascension. What happens next depends only on the player and the One Who is the Truth.

There are different ways to listen to yourself, to understand yourself better, and the esoteric game Lila, the game of self-knowledge, is one of these ways.

There are such uncertain states in life when you are lost, doubtful, and cannot decide in which direction to move next or whether you are doing something right. Continue or stop. Maintain confidence in yourself in what you have, or because doubts arise because your goals are not entirely correct and you need to change or adjust them.

Get support

At such moments, you want to get outside support. In my youth, I looked at the ceiling or wallpaper with a pattern and counted the figures - loves, doesn’t love, it won’t work out, it won’t come true. But over time, the understanding came that there are more serious ways to not only assess your prospects, but also determine your condition, on which, in fact, these prospects entirely depend, and change it in the way you need. And now I have created my own, which also perfectly serve this purpose, but first there was the game Lila. I have been using it for almost 20 years, and at different times in my life it has helped me make decisions and find the answers I need.

This is the description of the game in the manual that came with it. And now I will share my own experience of using the game Lila.

Game Leela - a brief description of the rules

When starting to work with it, as in all similar practices, it is important to make a request. It is useless and pointless to start the game without knowing what answers you want to get, although if already during the game you realized that you asked the question incorrectly, you can change it.

The game Leela can be played alone. As a figure for yourself, which you will move around the board, you need to take some personal item that you constantly use. It so happened that I use chapstick for this - a really personal, necessary thing that is always with me, and the shape is convenient to use in the game.

To start the game, you need to roll a six. The game may not start - if a “six” does not appear 15 times, then you cannot play. The game cannot be played more than once a day. The game can be completed only by reaching the “Cosmic Consciousness” square - until this happens, you need to continue playing, even if you are already tired and want to quit everything.

If you follow all the rules, the game gives you a lot in terms of awareness of your state, thoughts, and mood. Only at first glance it may seem that the rules in it are too strict and unnecessary, but in reality all existing frameworks encourage you to find in yourself the very thing that makes you walk in circles without achieving the desired result, and to understand what you need do to change it.

This is not just a game

In general, the game is truly mystical, and everything in it, as in life, is no coincidence. As you pass it, you end up on the same squares over and over again (each of them is given detailed description in leadership and each corresponds to a certain state of spiritual development with its own capabilities and limitations), you rise along the same arrows, descend along the same snakes, attract failure when there are doubts about success, and very quickly achieve the final goal when the state your light, balanced, when you know what, how and why, when you are ready to trust life and yourself and believe that everything will work out as it should.

I have had happy states when I completed the game in a few moves. And it happened the other way around, I went round after round, round after round, and could not reach the end point. And it was always connected with my inner state.

But the game not only diagnoses this condition - if it does not meet the set goals, you must change it already during the game in order to finish it. And so you play, throw the dice, walk along the board and listen to yourself - what is the reason? Not enough energy? Or, on the contrary, too much self-confidence? Or is the goal not the same? Or is the mood not the same? Should you be lighter, relax, or, conversely, make more efforts, be more persistent? Or maybe fears are getting in the way? Or is there not enough love and acceptance?

This is always surprising and incredible, but when you find the right state, apply it to yourself, firstly, you immediately realize that yes, this is it, and secondly, you immediately finish the game.

Game Leela - a game of self-discovery

One thing I want to say is that Lil’s game is definitely not entertainment, not some kind of solitaire. When taking it on, you need to be prepared to do some work on yourself. And this is understandable - after all, no one can tell us what to do, and in order to decide, sometimes we have to search and invent something, and in any case we have to make some efforts. We shouldn’t expect that someone from above will tell us everything about us now – this, of course, won’t happen.

But on the other hand, Lil's game brings considerable satisfaction and again helps you get to the bottom of your problem and understand what will help solve it. And this is what makes her extraordinarily good.

You never get tired of watching this magic happen before your eyes. Just like you can pull out the same thing several times

The Leela game, which dates back more than two thousand years, has remained a “secret knowledge” for many centuries, protected and carefully passed down from generation to generation in India in Brahmin families. Now we have the opportunity to touch the sacrament, which until recently was available only to a narrow circle of initiates...

LILA translated from Sanskrit means “game of life”...

We come into this Life, are born, explore ourselves, set goals, get results... And what we expect, what we want to achieve, does not always happen, and it happens that we end up not at all where we want to be... Sometimes we have to put in a lot efforts to get what we want, and in this process we suddenly realize that this is not what we wanted at all...

How to understand, realize what we really need, what our Soul has planned for us, and what is this short and joyful path to realizing our plans?... What mistakes do we step on with amazing regularity, what habits and beliefs of ours force us to change direction and again be disappointed in the chosen one... How to understand how true our desires are, what we really want and what can help us get from point A to point B in the shortest way?...

So, let’s formulate an intention and begin to learn the Path to achieving it. The game consists of eight levels - planes of existence; there are 72 cells on the playing field, each of which contains important information. You roll the dice and begin your movement. During the game, your symbol will move around the game board, where arrows and snakes connect cells of different levels. Arrows will take you to the upper levels, and snakes will return you to the beginning, to the very bottom. Each move is a small discovery and awareness: how I go towards my goal, what hinders me and what helps me, what habitual stereotypes, patterns of thinking and behavior lead me to the result or take me away from it, where and what I stumble on, what I get hung up on and what’s holding me back... Or maybe it’s time to try to change the intention itself, expand your boundaries and see other possibilities?..

Remember that you are the Creator, and everything that happens to you is your Creation!.. So let's create consciously, recognizing our mistakes, fears and limitations, accepting what is happening with humor... And thank ourselves for all the experiences gained through life path, understanding that gratitude to yourself is an important component of Success!
