We host 4 quarterly ‘Seminar and Social Events’ which are a combination of ‘Stage 1’ game players and ‘Stage 2’ players, who have ventured further along the Life’s A Game path.

We will have an introductory dance as well as a ‘sit down’ dinner, a ‘shopping experience’ alongside the networking breakfasts and seminar program.

The Personal Study books are designed to be used by both ‘working members’ and ‘adventurers’ alike, at whichever time they choose. It is not necessary to read all the personal study books before beginning the game, however, the platform books must be read in order for the nature of the game to be understood. The Platform Books for Stage 1 and 2, will not only explain the belief system behind Life’s A Game, but also present the possibility that YOU are creating your whole entire experience, here in the world. Things aren’t happening to you, you are making them happen with your beliefs, thoughts and actions. The Truth About Life and The Spiritual Path Books, will explain all of this, but not entirely. Just enough for you to understand the material and make a decision, whether at this stage or not that you are going to take the information literally or metaphysically. Either way, it works. You can be, do and have anything and everything you desire. It’s just your ‘belief’ that we will be working on, by taking you on an experiential ride through your own life, playing your life, from afar, as part of a social network and reality game.
continually keep doing the same thing. We must be open to taking new action. Taking on board new ideas. This book is the ‘platform book’ which must be read before you begin playing Life’s A Game and start reading the rest of the book series. It will make a lot more sense if you, first, understand the motives behind the game itself. It is no accident that you are reading this book, right now, at this time in your life. Treat it as a ‘guide book’ which is going to show you that life is a game, and teach you how to make your life, fantastic. Before we start, firstly we would like to say thank you for the time you’ve given to read this information that we are going to be sharing with you. We will be discussing who we are, as people, and why we are here, in the world, as well as discovering the secret to living a successful life. Life’s A Game isn’t a religion or a sect, or even a ‘movement’. It is the way to a new state of self-awareness. However, before we get into the main stream of the information behind the game, lets have a look as to why the game exists and who it’s for.

As with all games, it won’t be too easy. There has to be a level of difficulty in order for us to feel accomplished by the end of it. As we mentioned earlier, the ego is necessary for us to be able to play the game, at all. The ego is programmed to be selfish and self absorbed. It doesn’t know the truth about life. The true self does not liaise with the ego. The ego, therefore, believes it is truly alone in the world. This renders it incredibly insecure, it having inherent emotional needs. The ego will do anything to achieve these needs, even at the expense of the avatar’s health, wealth and happiness. A personification was made, for the ego, many, many years ago. The following quotation will give you a hint as to who or what this personification is…
will notice the difference. It all starts by reading this platform book. As we have just touched on, the book opens the mind to another way of perceiving life. It answers the questions as to why we are really here, how the universe works and how we can create our own lives, controlling the experiences we have. It shows that ‘spirituality’

course for the illusion to manifest it’s form so that it meets your needs, is the route YOUR universe will take. This is how we create. Just one vital and last point on creation, to make. Remember when we said that something cannot exist without it’s opposite so that we can have a comparison. Well, responsibility is required, when creating, because along with our desires, we create inadvertently, it’s opposite. When we are transcending the ego, we see this opposite for what it is and can easily coast through the difficult events, knowing that the reward will quickly follow. When our ego is in control, we shall only see the bad times, worry about them more and more, thus creating more bad times. So, if you are trying to create the million, to use our example, and you get hit with a load of bills, then now you know why. The trick is to pay them all with a big smile on your face, in full expectation of your reward which is just around the corner. Always act ‘as if’ until the ‘if’ happens. Never think that your creation is not on it’s way. It always comes as long as we don’t delay it or cancel it due to our negative emotions. Stay positive and see the bad times as the doorway to the great. The peaks always follow the valleys! So, give it a go and enjoy the process. It is a game after all!

all. Once we know why we desire something, is the intention behind the desire a positive or negative one? Is it sacrifice, or selfish? At this stage, we can already predict the experiential consequence if we decide to take the action. If we do decide to proceed, we must demonstrate that we belief, entirely, that we command the illusion and that we create everything that is in our arena. In fact, we are everything within our illusionary arena. We demonstrate this by giving away what we desire. We cannot give something away that we don’t already have, and it’s the belief that we are everything on a grander scale that delivers our desire like a parcel in the post. We know that matter is all made up of the same stuff, therefore we examine the why, again, that is behind the desire. What will this desire do for us, once we attain it? What feeling will it provide us with? Which emotional need is it meeting? Once we know the answers to these questions, we give to others the exact feelings that we are attempting to conjure up in ourselves. Knowing that ALL

seem to manifest our desires, working backwards through the equation can be invaluable, so keep it handy. If we are held back, as a consequence to our actions, then the experience wasn’t a beneficial one. Perhaps we begin to doubt whether we can indeed create our desires. Belief is vitally important. If we do not believe that we can do it, then we can’t. We will always be right. If we say we can’t then we absolutely can’t. If we say we can, then as long as there is a will, there will always be a way. Maybe if our experience wasn’t what we expected or wanted, then maybe the action we took or the vehicle we chose was the wrong one. We can take this all the way down to intention, really identifying which part of the process we may be getting wrong. So, to recap. The creation process is a lot more complicated than just simply asking ‘the universe’ to give you what you want and then waiting until it comes to you. This will never happen. The process has to be worked. There is another famous scripture that can be used here, with this in mind;
You will love the experience this small book will give you, I guarantee it. As the author, I’d like to say that before I found my truth about life, I went through many considerable hardships. When I was approaching 40, I was urged to take my experiences, pick up a pen and paper and create a way that would help all those who are ready to listen and change their lives, do so. I trained up as a trainer, teacher and coach in order to be able to show others this message. I have been blessed to be able to build a team of specialists up around me who can help with issues that affect us in most areas of our lives. This team are dedicated to helping people improve their lives and become open to a new way of being. We’ve opened an online social retreat for people to associate with each other and host training weeks as well as special social and seminar events throughout the year. My life, and myself, have completely changed. I have had to transcend a lot of negativity on my very difficult path, as I’m sure

this information, not to boast and not to attract attention, but so that you know that I’m talking from experience, and that like many of you reading this, I know and fully understand ‘pain’, but more importantly, that we can create ‘pleasure’ from it. This personal experience shows how one simple little ‘need’ of the ego can result in destruction beyond imagination. I have had extreme experience of loss, addiction and indoctrination, to mention just a few of life’s obstacles. With me, it all started because of my ego’s need for love and acceptance. I needed to belong to something greater but I was also inherently selfish. My father was a very selfish man, therefore I inherited his gene. I was already loved and very much accepted but didn’t recognise it. I was young and immature. As the saying goes; “You don’t know what you’ve lost until you lose it.” Genetically, I was high risk of addiction, again this being an

This means that people who are possessed by their possessions and only slave for materialistic things will find it difficult on the spiritual path, because they are a slave to the ego. Of course it’s OK to be as wealthy as you desire, and be spiritual at the same time, as long as we are not slaves to our ego. It just doesn’t work. Getting back to the creative process, the important thing to remember is that the desire we have comes along with an intention. This intention is for us to have an experience and there are 4 types of experience that our intentions shall bring. These are the 4 types of experience, born from intentions…

I stuck it out due to fear, as we were taught that ‘the end of the world is nigh’ and we believed it. Why wouldn’t we believe it, our parents were teaching us this stuff! I was indoctrinated from birth and this made my life experience like having a terminal disease, because my thoughts were not in agreement with what I was being taught, and any deviation from this religion would result in certain death, being killed by the god who unconditionally loved me. We were told in round-a-bout terms, ‘Do as we say, or else!’. However, I was just a child and I wanted to be like all the other kids

strong. What we sow, we most definitely reap. There is a process, however, to creation and this process must be both understood and not taken lightly. The effects of the wrong intentions, for example, can have devastating effects for the whole and ourselves. Some would argue, “Well, it was meant to be that way”, and they would be

thus, ascend. (More on this in our Stage 2 book, ‘The Spiritual

Path’). Understanding the following information, will give you all you need to begin creating, and in some circumstances, re-creating your game arena. Creating from the correct position will ensure our creations remain true and ‘actual’ because they will be fluid, in motion, growing and for the good of the whole. Remember that we are all one and that everyone shares one consciousness, even though we have our experience which has been compartmentalised. We only need to be able to move the illusion’s energy of form from one place to another. Understanding that our avatars and everything within the arena are all made up of the exact same energy, shows how we can move energy as we do this every day. When we desire ‘things’, believing that we already have them, opens a doorway to the state of ‘expectation’. We expect to see it. The question is then, where do we look? Well, what we desire is already there! We just need to look through new eyes and in the right place. Lets use the internet as an analogy of how it all works. The internet has made the world an incredibly small place, depending on how you perceive it. We can access any piece of

solutions, even seeing opportunity in them. We start to feel more secure about ourselves. We begin liking ourselves and develop a feeling of worthiness. We will start showing our perceived enemies, love and understanding. We will even try and help these people who haven’t begun transcending the ego, as yet. Safety becomes the feeling of our environment. Loneliness becomes a thing of the past, as we attract people and situations to us which will help us get to where we desire to be. We start trusting others because we understand the bigger picture and that whatever happens, was meant to otherwise it wouldn’t have. That said, once we become aware of our creative powers, we won’t allow the illusion to dictate it’s form to us as we command it and not the other way around. Struggling will transmute into allowing. Other aspects of the whole will feel like the closest of family and we begin seeing the comedy in life. We start recognising beauty within everyone and everything. Aggression will melt away, as will jealousy and envy. Instead of ‘mine’, it becomes ‘ours’. We stop telling white lies and the need to lie at all will dissipate because we begin to understand that we are only lying to ourselves. Deceit becomes unthinkable even for the manipulators who were once led by their ego, but have gone through so much that they ‘saw the light’ and began to transcend. We act from the level of love, knowing what true love is. We stop complaining and getting upset at circumstances. We take charge of our game and, yes, we become a success. When we recognise the above, in ourselves, this is when we can start creating, as our intentions will be right and our belief will be
Would you like to hear some great news? Life, here on Earth, is an illusion! Life is a game and the majority of us, alive today, don’t know this let alone know what the ‘rules’ are. We are not ‘brought up’ with this enlightenment, but maybe, we should be. Life’s A Game has a unique approach to living a successful life and I would like to just, very briefly, give you an outline as to the concept behind it and even though you may not understand this concept immediately, all will be explained as you take the time to read on. The concept of the game, is that we are born as an ‘avatar’, (our physical body), directed by our minds, which has two masters. One is the ‘ego’, which we will discuss in detail later, and the other is our true selves. Our game ‘arena’ is our lives in the illusionary ‘outer’ world. We have a mission or ‘purpose’ which has been set by our true selves, in order for us to experientially grow, however, the ‘catch’ is that when we are born we completely forget what that ‘purpose’ is and even that our true selves exist, being controlled by our ego and it’s several ‘needs’. It is our job to transcend the ego, remembering who we truly are and thus fulfilling our purpose. This can be seen as both daunting and incredibly exciting, as the adventure of life unfolds. Just to make matters harder, the way we grow is through ‘painful experiences’, which fortunately is always rewarded with pleasurable ones. Even though the illusion is constantly in the present, everything has a beginning and an end. This is unique to the physical universe only. Once we begin to transcend the ego, we discover that we create the illusionary ‘outer’
world and can thus begin to enjoy playing the game, experiencing

what we desire. This is our reward and we choose what that reward or rewards are. By reading this book and playing the game, you are about to begin this enlightening journey and manifest your deepest desires, wake up from the illusion and remember your true self. You will shed what doesn’t matter and what is limiting you, nurturing what does matter and realising you have no limits.
When do we know we are ready to be a success? Are there any signs? What is your idea of success? Do you believe it’s within your capabilities? When we are born, when our avatar turns up, we all have a whole life ahead of us and we coast through learning life lessons and slowly will be directed to what our purpose is. It is so much easier, to become a success, when we are working hand in

In other words, you cannot keep the ego happy, slaving for it and for your true self at the same time. One must be transcended and let go, as they are both opposite ends of the experiential spectrum. The ego is extremely limiting, while your true self is absolutely limitless! However, we are brought up with an approach which suggests that people do things to us and events happen to us. We are taught that others will take from us, so we have to defend ourselves from the other people that we see around us. We are completely trained to be led by the ego, feeling insecure, insignificant and very separate from each other. This is completely wrong, however our parents, and ourselves, didn’t get a ‘how to’ manual when their, or indeed our, kids were born. As a society, we tend to go along with what we are told to do.

If you make the true decision to become abundant, then it is your time to be abundant. We are going to discuss the actual secrets behind creating abundance. When we begin transcending the ego, it has symptoms! Negative thoughts become positive ones. The mind becomes clearer and calmer. Thinking simplifies, having a starting points, destinations and solutions to perceived problems. Panic ceases to exist. Doubt gives way to certainty. We will no longer experience guilt, shame or regret.

It doesn’t take long, when you are playing a computer game, to get into the midst of the action and we forget that we are playing the game and we imagine it’s real. It’s the same here. The illusionary outer takes over. We are programmed to forget in order for the ego to do it’s thing. What do we do? How can we remember why we are here?

Some will say that the reason for life is to serve God or a god, some say the Devil, some say money and they would all be right because it is their game and not ours. The truth about life is that it is our own truth. The whole system wouldn’t work if the ego didn’t initially take over. In the illusion, we constantly battle to remember our purpose, feeling as if there is something we have to do. We try everything we can, making the mistake of looking externally to other people, to clubs and cliques, to saviours, to gurus, to religions and so on. We
These following rules of the game, when stuck to, will allow us to enjoy an amazing experience within the game. You will achieve everything you desire and more. The tools are designed to help you progress but the rules are here to teach you ‘the way’. The rules will read as if spiritual in nature and that is because they are. You will find as you progress through the game that everything that is, is spiritual in nature and there’s no getting away from it. You will experience the unexplainable. These rules are absolute no matter which religion you follow or whether you are metaphysical or an atheist. Enjoy the following observations and incorporate them into your life. When you truly operate from these game rules, you will remember that no one can harm you and you cannot harm anyone. Fear will cease to exist and you can step back and watch yourself be, do and have anything you wish for. Along your adventure, all this will all of a sudden click into place and then it will all seem so obvious to you as you remember this information as if you’ve always known it.

We get ‘won over’ by those that wish to convert us to reading their ‘map’ to their ‘truth about life’, and this will serve to teach us lessons in life and if we end up having this experience, it is because it is meant to be at that time, otherwise we wouldn’t be experiencing it. However, it isn’t our own truth. It is a vehicle used to achieve a need. Discovering the need enables us to become transparent to ourselves and allow us to find alternative vehicles or even work past the need to have

-Winston Churchill
The ultimate aim of the game, the key to a successful life, is to develop as individuals to such an extent that we leave egotistical ‘things’ behind and become one with our true selves which is everyone and all that is. However, the physical world is here to be enjoyed, when we reach this level of awareness so it’s perfectly fine to dip our toes in the river of forgetfulness once again, and enjoy playing. A huge part of our persona is love, joy, sharing and laughter. Getting too serious can hinder our progress. At this point, we need to shake the ‘etch-a-sketch’ and start afresh, playing the game by the rules you are about to learn and by utilising the tools which we are making available to you. Once we have visualised how we would like to be, as the avatar, we must find out exactly where we actually are, right now. Who are we at this point of our life? When this has been done, we discover where we are going, working out where we desire our destination to be in all the 12 areas we work on, and then ‘spiritually’ in Stage 2. Once we have our starting point and the finishing flag, we work out exactly how we are going to get there and this is ‘the game’. We could, of course, just continue to go with the flow as if cruising along a river, oblivious to our decision making and consequences,

pleasure into some peoples lives, but they can also cause a lot of pain. It is the pursuit of possessions that can have a negative effect on our avatar and temporarily stop us from transcending the ego. If we get ourselves into a situation where all we are doing is working to pay off the loans we took out to buy ‘treasures’, then we aren’t living the life we intended. It is a lesson, however, one that we must work through and past. Remember, that the avatar can feel very comfortable, when rich, and this can cause us to be sucked into the illusion because the ego will pop up demanding things, and this is OK! There are no wrong turns, and being wealthy is incredibly exciting which does bring it’s own joyful experiences as well as painful ones. That’s the game. However, always remember that the ‘things’ you possess are also an illusion, and the only person who cares about you possessing them, is you. There is a reason for ‘things’. The ego will
Before we get into the ‘science’ behind how we create our desires, and you are going to learn this before you start playing the game, we would like to just emphasise what the game is and how it works. We have to use a metaphor to explain it because the reality is that the secrets of the universe would, and do, fill volumes upon volumes and would be extremely difficult for us to understand, as our avatar. This book is a short cut to understanding these complexities, like a light switch turning on the light, remember? We may not know how electricity works, but we know that if we flick that switch, we can see. This book and the game, has the same effect. Play the game and the light comes on. This topic will be discussed in more depth at our seminar. First of all, forget time as we think we know it. Time doesn’t exist the way we were taught.

Career and/or Business
-Albert Einstein
Whether you want to get a promotion at work, get more enthused about your existing business, make more money, start working for yourself or even begin working for and alongside us, at the game, it’s all to do with your mindset. You have to know what it is you want. What is the outcome you desire? Creating a business or a better lifestyle opens all sorts of opportunities within the illusion. You will meet people you would never have met before. Doorways open to wonderful learning and growth opportunities. If your business is contributory in some way, to the whole, imagine the
If you’re playing a racing game and you take the corner too fast, you WILL crash! If you take it the same way again and again, you will crash every time. The corner will not change to make it easier for you to take. YOU must do the changing. We must all alter the way we take the corner so we can stick to the road and see what’s next, just around the corner. It is the same for everyone, without exception.

In Stage 2 of Life’s A Game, we tackle the area of Spirituality. However, in Stage 1, we prepare for this by working on the above areas first. When we begin playing, you already have an idea of who you desired to be. Going one step further, using the Journal, you would establish your starting point, or exactly where you actually are. Also, we would work out where we desire to be eventually. The game uses ‘self-measurement tools’, ‘directional
