EDITORIAL NOTE
PROGNOSIS
Look upon our world for a moment as though it were a single level in a multidimentional chess game. Intriguing, challenging and complicated.
Created by an omnipresent infinity: the Supreme Energy Source. Played by all.
Purpose of the game: to collect energy—like captured chess pieces—all along the way in order to advance into higher energy regions. Higher levels in the game. Closer to the Supreme Energy Source. Closer to the understanding of all.
On this plane, consider the lifeform of man as the supreme energy collector. Throughout your term as player at your present level, you collect energy by experiencing all which is part of your life.
Understanding, initiating, judging the level you presently identify, you collect energy as you value all which comprises your life experiences. Ideally, you become more powerful as you move across the board.
So this makes you a chess piece as well as a chess player. A piece for the higher planes of players; a player for the lesser energy values on this plane and beyond.
As complicated as many things seem to be or become in our life, try to keep this image of a living, changing, growing multidimensional, multilevel chess game in mind. Whether it is just at the level you play, or beyond as you examine the ultimate strategy.
We are learning more and more about ourselves with each passing moment. And we shall continue to do so individually and collectively as long as we avoid blocking our minds. Closing things out. Misjudging, worshiping or simply accepting limited values as the highest level of play. Electing to remain a pawn captured and taken off the board with the same old game plan over and over again.
The key to mobility within the game exists in some form at all levels. Like DNA. An equipoise of positive and negative values.
We need to come to peace within ourselves, understand the intricacies which make up our being ... identify this common "DNA" value and use it to go for the win. And beyond.
Enjoy,
Casey Lee Klinger
