Life Cheat Code?

[jafar]

In Video game we recognized something called 'cheat code' to quickly win the game.
If life is a 'game', then is this not a 'cheat code' to quickly win the game?
Here Ra uses Poker game as a metaphor...

50.7 Questioner: Thank you. Can you expand on the concept which is this: that it is necessary for an entity to, during incarnation in the physical, as we call it, become polarized or interact properly with other entities, and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when he is aware of what he wants to do, but why must he come into an incarnation and lose memory, conscious memory, of what he wants to do and then act in a way that he hopes to act? Could you expand on that please?

Ra: I am Ra. Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands. He then knows the game. It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk. The other hands are known. The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest.

In time/space and in the true-color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye. The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles: all these may be seen. There is no deception and no desire for deception. Thus much may be accomplished in harmony, but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction.
Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine: a lifetime. The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc. They are dealt, and re-dealt, and re-dealt continuously. You may, during this incarnation begin—and we stress begin—to know your own cards. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc. However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes.

You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love; can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.”
This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love.
This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality.

To win the game is not to pay too much attention to the results / events happening inside the game?
Or in other words to let go of everything inside the game?
But to love all players regardless of what kind of role that they're playing inside the game?

[auntiemable]

To win the game you must overlook the actions of others and show them love. As was said "to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love". Not as easy as it sounds. Can you do that with the pedophile or murderer? What if it was a member of your family that was harmed by another?

Love is like a cheat code for life, but until you bring it, I mean live it, breathe it, feel it, teach it, you can't win.

There's a quote from the ACIM that says: "God is but love; therefore, so am I." You must find it hidden within yourself. It is there no matter how you have lived this lifetime.

I'm not a fan of Religion but I like games!

These are your Densities.
Stage Psychosocial Crisis                 Basic Virtue      Age           Sins
1. Trust vs. Mistrust                         Hope             0 - 1½           Lust
2. Autonomy vs. Shame                   Will               1½ - 3           Gluttony
3. Initiative vs. Guilt                        Purpose          3 - 5             Greed
4. Industry vs. Inferiority                 Competency     5 - 12          Sloth
5. Identity vs. Role Confusion            Fidelity          12 - 18         Wrath
6. Intimacy vs. Isolation                    Love              18 - 40        Envy
7. Generativity vs. Stagnation            Care              40 - 65        Pride
8. Ego Integrity vs. Despair                Wisdom         65+            Balance/CO-Creator

Taken from https://www.simplypsychology.org/Erik-Erikson.html

These densities are EVER present. You are ALWAYS Co-Creator and trying to attain balance whether you realize it or not but when you get to the eighth stage your mind regresses and your "true" self manifests in order to TEACH you and preserve your total self.

Body. When you are young you interpret word with action. Your parents actions and words mostly, you don't think in word yet.
Mind. Later you give word meaning as you start to think and interpret everything in word and sometimes numbers (Ra hates numbers)
Spirit. This is you! Your vibration! Your animating essence. Your total self.
Conscience This is your Higher self. If you don't share what you think with others they will make up a backstory on their own. We all go back to the Conscience when we sleep.

These four things make up your body mind soul complex but the conscience is shared. Religion comes from the Conscience.

A social memory complex is a personality, Ra doesn't keep track of your personalities. Most of these famous people who you're channeling were JUST personalities.
Most people aren't in a position to make a difference in life since influence requires money but that is quickly changing these days now with the introduction of the internet. It's one thing to speak the good word and another to live it.
These statues being defaced in 2020 was because these people aren't to be looked up to but to be remembered.

So.. why are you here... why did you incarnate here... It's because the is no "better" place.
Ra said it was your choice to incarnate here and your misery is due to you not accepting the reasons for your incarnation. I always tell people you are "gifted" a child not the other way around. Life is a gift itself.
The truth is the world would be a better place if everybody learned not to judge each other.

In a infinite world there is no right or wrong.. just naughty and nice, Santa brings the MOST energy to this world. Your parents... Raphael painted a picture of his father as Jesus.
Santa gives you a stone... just like revelation... where the Law of One was channeled from.

For me, the message in 50.7 is about walking away from playing games and walking into more engaging levels of consciousness--that is, consciousness not limited to the initial three energy centers.  What's the point of balancing and opening to love?  Cheating?  I doubt it.  Divinity?  Perhaps.

My understanding on the 'cheat code' is:

To "Win" the poker game is *not* through the 'obvious' way of winning the poker game through poker rules.
Having Straight Flush, Five Of A Kind, Full House.. what have you... which is better 'hands' when compared to other players.
But 'winning' is achieved through 'the opposite'.. by 'losing' or 'going against' the poker rules.
Here's my cards, all opened on the table, the cards doesn't matter, who won or lose doesn't matter, it's all of you that matter.

It reminds me of "Letting go all of attachments"..
“The practice of Zen is forgetting the self in the act of uniting with something.”
— Koun Yamada

And why are we playing poker in the first place?

[zedro]

I believe it's about learning that you never had to compete in the game offered to you in the first place. Society as it is presented to you is a construct, just like the card game. You believed you had to participate in the way you were taught, that the game presented was of all importance, but that is a false reality, a construct to trap you into someone else's rulesets.

It's not a cheat code, it does not absolve you from action or participation in society in general, as you have work to do. Just don't get sidelined into other people's games.

[Patrick]

Yes!

Ra explicitly told us HOW to win this game. A lot of us find it difficult to truly understand what Ra means by this. But it is also said in many other ways by many sources.

Like the famous, live in the now. It is part of it.

[meadow-foreigner]

There are no shortcuts to anything really worthwhile in life, as far as I can tell. Anything that's truly worth, it takes effort (such as the sweat of one's brow) to get it.

That being said, any kind of advantage as implied by what a cheat code provides, is automatically balanced with an equivalent trade-off. It's almost like a physical, thermodynamic process, as in this balancing is in the very own game engine, so to speak.

So, TL;DR: do the work.

[Sacred Fool]

And why are we playing poker in the first place?

It's a good metaphor for consciousness which has reached the 3D level of social competition.  Moving beyond that is the path of the heart.  And I'll underscore what's been said above: for those of us who have heavily invested in personal well being at the expense of heartfelt openness, there are no clever short cuts.  Also said above: flipping the cards over and revealing self--embracing vulnerability--is a whole lot harder than it sounds.  It's about transformation of identity, but by incorporating elements of self hitherto ignored (for most of us).  Integrating an element of self which has hitherto has been worked around complicates the entire process because the entire structure must them be adjusted to accommodate the newly needed flow of energy.  Because one is basically working in the dark to do all this, there is much confusion....obviously!  ha ha

   

[sillypumpkins]

I feel as though the knowledge I've gained throughout my journey are sort of like cheat codes...... like in a really intense moment when I might "forget" that we are all One, when I come back to that knowing, everything sort of melts... so, knowledge in general to me sort of feels like a "cheat code" :p when I apply that knowledge, everything becomes easier in a way

[zedro]

To add, I think this nomenclature of "cheat codes" is as silly as the once popular use of the term "life hacks"....you are neither cheating or hacking anything, you are simply going in the correct and more efficient direction at a certain point in time in your spiritual experience. In other words, you were maybe doing it wrong before, needed to learn that, and now you are doing it right. Short cuts are only relative to assuming the long way around was initially the only viable choice, or that you somehow missed the shortcut, when really it would only reveal itself after taking the long route.

If you were a Buddhist monk perfect in love and without ego your first incarnation, you would not ascend, because you have not experienced an adequate spectrum that would satisfy spiritual learning, you simply cannot cheat yourself. So you may have to play the game in order to fully understand it's folly, or to walk the entire maze to understand the the only way out was the way you came in.

Beautifully said.

[Minyatur]

The only difficulty is sincerity, which is what cannot be cheated. But yeah, the winning card within the game to absolve karma and move on from a lesson is forgiveness. The game is afterall literally just realizing the Creator as the Creator, so it makes sense that to move forward within the game is tied to coming to terms with what unfolds in this realization and moving on to further realizations.

You cannot though just think of going into a state where you are all acceptant of others. Like the material says, forgiveness of another entails forgiveness of oneself and so you cannot sincerely forgive another for something you are unable to forgive yourself. So there is always a work of perceiving what is reflected of you within the mirrors that are your other-selves and internalize an acceptance of it within your own being. How you feel about others mirrors what you approve and disapprove of within yourself.

You could say it ultimately boils down to realizing the Law of One. Which means to realize that there is no imperfection, no disharmony, that everything is complete and whole and perfect. Everything in existence stems from this truth. It is also what the material says enables healing within oneself. So from that we could say that to see the opposite of this is to hold to a state of tension within yourself, a state of tension which originates from your own perception. 'All is Well' was not repeated 53 times throughout the material for no reason.

Ultimately though, I think the Creator mostly seeks novelty in how It experiences Itself. So, there is no cheating foreverness even in the realization of unity.

By "realizing," do you mean mere cognitive awareness or something more life altering than that?  Personally, I think I cottoned on to that idea when I first read the Ra Material, but it was another two decades or so before began to make significant progress in becoming aware of the mystery of the heart which, as I understand it, is the beginning of the pathway out beyond the chutes and ladders of third density, if you will.

I'm not really sure of all the facets there can be of awareness, nor how we should refer to them. Neither if awareness can truly be divided into different types or if it instead merely grows in encompassing more dimensions within itself as a more unified principle than not. If we take 1D as an example, the material says it is a semantic problem to refer to the consciousness of 1D as either a mind or body, they in turn call it mind/body to recognize that any iota of Creation contains the One Infinite Creator in full. So how should we categorize the realizations of 1D as a type of awareness? I am not quite sure.

It's a bit how that people divide the heart and mind as separate never really made sense to me. I've recently been reading about Chinese cosmology and they have the word Xin which means foremost heart, but can also be translated to mind. So Heart-mind of some sort and it represents the center of human cognition. This is more in alignment with how I've been seeing things, unifying rather than dividing. To me it implies that focusing on your heart is actually not relinquishing your mind and instead diving below the surface of your thoughts and diving into the waters of your mind, moving through the currents that move your thoughts and reaching the center of your mind. So rather than that focusing on your heart means disconnecting from your mind, it is actually a process of deepening your conscious connection with it.

"Cheat Code" is a gaming terminology referring to 'things that you can do to complete the game with least time and least effort as possible' or in other words it can also be meant as 'skip some part of the experience that the game has to offer'.

Back to using Poker metaphor, as used by Ra, every Poker player can opt to use the 'cheat code' by not focusing on the cards or even trying to win within poker game rule, instead focusing on the other players instead.

This can be easily experienced when you're play some sport or game with your own family member, you deliberately 'play to lose' in order to make your gaming / sporting partner happy or excited. Your focus is your own family member, your son/daughter/brother/sister what have you, and try to make him/her happy and excited. Your focus is not to the actual game that you're playing with him/her but his/her feelings.

You're also free to try to win the poker game using obvious / standard poker rule. Having a 'better hands' compared to other player. You will win rounds, many rounds against the other players, taste the 'sweetness' of victory over other players, but you will continuously play the game in a continuous loop, hungry for another victory, another winning.

Which is actually not the actual 'winning', you're trapped sitting inside an infinite rounds of poker game.
The 'actual' winning is actually to shift the focus to the other players, and be happy to 'lose' inside a poker game.

When you use the 'cheat code' in a poker game, you might possibly never ever once taste the experience of 'winning against another players', never taste the experience of having a 'full house' and other kind of experiences that's being offered by the poker game. But you will complete the game in short time with least effort, the actual 'winning'.

I know, I grew up playing the NES, and still know the Contra code lol.

My point is, and it's a semantic one, that to play the game is to understand the game, to understand the hardships, the unfairness, the struggle, and gain that experience. And thru that experience you learn what is actually important, which is you don't need to play that particular game anymore. There is no shortcut, no easy mode, it is the experience you sought after. You will dwell inside the game as long as you need to, and put it down when you are ready.
We all have different games, or constructs, that we get trapped into, and we only evolve out of them when we are ready, when you finally understand why it is not necessary. That isn't a cheat code, because cheating is not allowed in 3d (LoC), you set your own evolutionary goals. If that involves easy mode, then fine, but others may have a higher demand on their spiritual development and get caught in deeper wells.

People who drink too much or smoke usually know it's bad and need to change, they have the knowledge but are missing something that will catalyze the change. Simply knowing that it's bad for them, and they just need to quit, isn't enough, they continue until what needs to be addressed is resolved, the root emotional cause, otherwise a new habit may form to compensate, and you may not even realize the significance of it because it seems unrelated. The point here is, you don't even know what the game is, you don't actually understand what game it is you need to quit yet...you haven't identified it because you haven't even perceived it yet. There is no cheat code for a game you don't even realize you are playing.

Anyways like I said, it's just semantics, to me using the word "cheating" is a misnomer, you simply cannot bypass and make anything easier, it is what it's supposed to be. Like Ra (annoyingly) says, there are no mistakes. No energy is wasted, it's what it needed to be. What we are talking about here sounds more like a characterisation of hindsight, 'if only I had done that instead', or 'coulda shoulda woulda' syndrome. It always looks different in hindsight, when you retrace your steps backwards, it's why people fall for the fallacy of determinism, because the mind/body/spirit dynamic is more easily erased from that historical record, and everything seems more obvious. But if you went back in time and took a shortcut, you would alter your future self, and be less experienced for it, even if it just was more time in limbo. You cannot estimate what effect it will have, even if it just seems like it was 'a waste of time'.

[jafar]

I know, I grew up playing the NES, and still know the Contra code lol.

Good ol' time isn't it?
Recalling the time of playing Pong with my little brother.
Letting him to win the game just in order to make him happy.

The 'game' is not to win in Pong against my little brother (or somebody else)
The 'game' is actually to love and make connection with my little brother through Pong.

That isn't a cheat code, because cheating is not allowed in 3d (LoC), you set your own evolutionary goals. If that involves easy mode, then fine, but others may have a higher demand on their spiritual development and get caught in deeper wells.

Well then let's renamed it to 'shortcut'.
Some (if not most) people think this 'game' is about 'winning' over others, gaining or collecting something more compared to others, conquering others, gain control over others, fighting for something, do something to please some god and received 72 virgins. Which is fine, as it seems to be the 'rule' of the game, and 'gaining' those things will bring it's own unique experiences.
Yet apparently that it's not the goal to complete the game...

I still believe that some people *do* manage to find/realize and take the 'shortcut' and complete the game quicker compared to others. Those people might 'missed' some of the experience that this 'game' has to offer, such as but not limited to; owning 10 sport cars, topping the Forbes 100, real estate mogul, dictator, president (albeit only 1 term.. ehmm), famous bikini babe, playboy model, singer, actresses, powerful alien trying to conquer planet earth, torturer, murderer, war monger, conqueror, energy suckers and quadrillions of other experiences that this game has to offer. They just want complete the game as soonest as possible and not too interested in all of those experiences.

And Mr Ra here just gave a hint on what the shortcut of this game actually is.
You might skip some experience if you take it, but you will complete the game sooner... no right or wrong here, it's merely a choice.
Having said that, my kudos to the 'game developer', the varieties of this 'open world role playing game' is just amazing.
I might not like it too much but I do give it a 5 star ratings.

[Renmik]

I've always associated "cheat codes" with stealing the joy of the journey. One would not have looked as hard as they would have for a certain something or other that they needed to get to the end of the game. I've enjoyed my journey through this game, albeit in hindsight it is much clearer as to the purpose of any one instance in my life experience. They have all meant something, a lesson to learn, a trial to pass. Life experience share incoming... A number of years ago I became estranged from my 2 youngest children. Catalyst indeed!! I'll try to make this short, but there is no short way of telling it. I was married to their mother for 17 years, I thought we'd never ever part, and I told everyone so. We became "religious" together, at first I was the one who wanted to make it to church every Sunday, she wouldn't. Then she wanted too and I didn't. Dragging the kids along with us or course. I worked 60-80 hours a week for 10 plus years to support our family and maintain support obligations for my 2 oldest children.This created a distance as one could imagine.
I felt selfish because I spent so much energy in this endeavor of work to support it all. I felt entitled to be happy with whatever choice I made. Nothing major, never cheated or anything of that sort. I just worked and slept and worked and slept. Took time out for the kids, but I wasn't "there" the majority of the time for those 10 plus years. We'd take weekends at my mom's, my ex would stay home alone. She home schooled L&E, so I wanted her to get some time alone. She was with them 24/7, I wasn't. It was my time with them, we enjoyed it a lot. Especially the drives! About 10 years ago, I had a serious detachment. I wanted a divorce and she did too, until it came time for me to actually leave the house. Then she said she didn't want me to leave, well...I'm a Leo. When my mind is made up, it's made up. Never looked back. Hindsight is 20/20, and I lost that piece to rationally think because I was blinded by my "right" to be happy. 10 months after our split, and 4 months after the divorce I moved 1,200 miles away, with little notice to the kids. They were 14 and 13. That didn't go over well at all, they wrote me letters saying how terrible I was for doing that and why. I continually defended myself for my choice, defensive in short. That led to 8 years of silence from them. Those were the darkest 8 years of my life, sleepless nights and sleep walking through years of days. I kept up the charade of defensiveness for a long time, then something changed. I started looking inwards, very intensely. Who was I? What was I? How did I get here? Why am I going through this? David Wilcock was my introducer to The Law of One by way of ancient aliens of course. I started reading The Syncronicity Key which led me to The Ascension Mysteries, then The Sourcefield investigations. Then The Law of One. I had to do some very intense introspection, forgive myself and admit what it was I did. Acted selfishly with no regard for what my actions would do to my 2 youngest children, who were by now/then, adults. This forgiving process and admitting to myself that they had every right to feel the way they did and I would have felt the same way. I had deep remorse, but had accepted my fate of never talking to them again. This was very hard to realize, harder to accept as reality. But I did, and I was comforted by that. The remorse will never go away, it will always be there as a reminder to choices. Other changes came in the weeks to follow. I worked a summer at a local botanical garden, and fell in love with gardening and knew at once I had missed my calling. I loved the plants, the smell of the flowers, the smell of the dirt. That was a magical summer in my life, I was 49. On my 50th birthday, I was working in my section of the garden, acres big gardens. So I was by myself in my area, surrounded by what I fell in love with that summer. I was in my Toro garden vehicle, coming back from lunch just getting to my section and my phone goes off. Unknown number the message read "Happy Birthday Dad". I started crying and literally thought someone was totally messing with me. I didn't believe it was my youngest daughter. I asked her questions only she would know the answer to. She answered correctly. I was absolutely floored. The rest of the day was a blur. We decided to talk that night. My 50th birthday present was a text from my youngest daughter after 8 very long years. The other gift was a video chat that night from her, which the first 10 minutes was spent crying. This came a maximum of 2 months after I had accepted my reality and what I had done and had forgiven myself for. Accepted my fate so to speak. We've once again become close and my youngest son was not far behind his sister. We've seen each other about every 6 months and chat regularly. My son just stayed with my current wife and I for a year and a half. Full circle. "All it took" was going within myself, dissecting and realizing my lesson, and what choice I was going to make about it.
" Cheat Codes"?
No, I'm afraid there are no cheat codes for life. It takes intensive work, accepting self, accepting other as self and loving each self for who they are. What a ride it's been!! I wouldn't trade it for anything because it is the sum of who I currently am, and continue to evolve into as I go deeper. What an experience we are enjoying!!
Life is about choices, and "A" choice. Guidance is available to whomever really wants it.
Ask for that, not cheat codes.
That's my "2 cents" to the collective. If it helps just one person out of a tight spot it will have been a small amount of time to spend writing this, well worth it. Life is an experience to share with whomever it may help. Love and light to whomever made it this far! It'll be great to know each other on an even deeper level as all this unfolds. I figured I'd get an early start!!

[andrii]

While I certainly agree that the "purpose" is to forgive and love all, this in itself is a very difficult proposition for most humans I have encountered.

There are "cheat codes" to make it easier however, though they come with their own drawbacks. For example I pursued the path of remembering my past lives and now have access to around 170million years if counting from the beginning of my third-density existence, though have downloaded only a small fraction thereof. However my various "crimes"/"travesties" against creation were so great that everyone on Earth is small fry to forgive and love, and thus it is very easy. My biggest hurdle was coming to terms with myself, and after that it's been pretty much smooth sailing.

The drawback being, that as Ra says "This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality."
But yeah considering I've passed this grade so many times before meh, as long as my mission is advanced I don't mind taking it easy, even if it ends up taking longer overall.

I'm thinking that's a good practical example on why forgiving oneself is so important, which was expressed to me as an important path into dissolving karma.

[sillypumpkins]

the way i look at it is, how can I expect to be of any service to anyone (in the way that i would maybe, perhaps, "like") if I haven't forgiven myself, or just in general, taken care of myself.

so, I agree with you zedro. it feels like a very important thing, to forgive oneself.

funnily enough, ive found that in some ways it can become harder to forgive others if i haven't forgiven myself. so it feels foundational in that way.

[zedro]

I think that's partially the mirroring effect in action, we tend to hate things about others which we hate about ourselves. Although this is more applicable for personal/personnality matters unlike external ones (like societal/criminal transgressions, etc)...perhaps orange vs yellow ray (I hate making these generalizations as I'm just spit balling here )

[Minyatur]

funnily enough, ive found that in some ways it can become harder to forgive others if i haven't forgiven myself. so it feels foundational in that way.

The material seems to say it is actually impossible, although I think we could tend to believe we did while at some level within ourselves we did not.

18.12 Questioner: You stated yesterday that forgiveness is the eradicator of karma. I am assuming that balanced forgiveness for the full eradication of karma would require forgiveness not only of other-selves but forgiveness of self. Am I correct?

Ra: I am Ra. You are correct. We will briefly expand upon this understanding in order to clarify.

Forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self. An understanding of this insists upon full forgiveness upon the conscious level of self and other-self, for they are one. A full forgiveness is thus impossible without the inclusion of self.

No, I'm afraid there are no cheat codes for life. It takes intensive work, accepting self, accepting other as self and loving each self for who they are. What a ride it's been!! I wouldn't trade it for anything because it is the sum of who I currently am, and continue to evolve into as I go deeper. What an experience we are enjoying!!
Life is about choices, and "A" choice. Guidance is available to whomever really wants it.
Ask for that, not cheat codes.
That's my "2 cents" to the collective. If it helps just one person out of a tight spot it will have been a small amount of time to spend writing this, well worth it. Life is an experience to share with whomever it may help. Love and light to whomever made it this far! It'll be great to know each other on an even deeper level as all this unfolds. I figured I'd get an early start!!

Thank you Renmik, for sharing. Just so beautiful, even as harrowing as it must have been.

Have you ever felt that perhaps your first wife, and children, and you decided to participate in this experience ?

How really it is wonderful in the end, thank you..

And welcome to this site, with us all too
