The only thing real then is play

Here's a name for you to list in your bibliography of play seers: Jogi Panghaal . And this excerpt from his brilliant article Body, Movement and Joy should explain why:

At one level play is used to prepare a body to learn. To make, to evolve subjects and then to have users that respond to it. The underlying truth being that the body plays to inform itself better and the context that it is born, in the context that it is to live, meaningfully.

At another level play is used to forge links with the unknown. Finding higher levels of centeredness by attempting to centre with that. It is through this play that true knowledge follows, as different from information. The underlying truth being that consciousness plays to know itself better in its own cosmic context.

All the world is a vast field where we’re all simultaneously both players and a play. A form and performers. Dancers and the dance. Artisans and an artefact. A series of interconnected fields all involved in a great spectacle of plays, which we would perhaps call Lila: the ultimate play. Attempts to comprehend all this with only a rational mind may not be enough. We’re to be playful. After all this is all like Maya, an illusion or a wash for reality. In this world of multiple realities, the only thing real then is play.
