What is the soul and how may I approach it?

[Sacred Fool]

I think to see one's experience as a game, a fleeting moment of investment within one's actual existence, definitely can be a good direction in wanting to approach one's soul. To seek the immersed and focused player that lies behind the mind-body interface that is of this illusion.

I agree with this entirely.  So, why did I say it's not a game?  Well, in some sense I believe that as well.  That is, I believe it is not a trivial pursuit, if you will, and I know from experience that one can go off the rails into very dangerous territory trying to hack the software.  Ergo, I have a bias towards caution--not inaction--but deliberate caution.  All that said, it's none of my business what you guys do and I'm probably overreacting, to be honest.

But......there's just one more thing.  If you'll indulge me here and allow me to lump us three together as overachievers in this "pursuit," I would suggest that there can be a little something which can stick in our blind spot in this regard, something that may prevent us from seeing the kangaroo in the tree because we've become somewhat skilled at mapping the subtle trees.  I'm referring to the role of love as the substance of transcendence.

You may consider it like a game, my friends. You may consider this a game. Find the hidden picture. You will remember this game. There is a picture of a tree and hidden in the branches of the tree there is a picture of a kangaroo. So it is with your life, my friends. Hidden in every picture is a picture of love. Love distorted, love undistorted. Love strained by your own misunderstandings, but nevertheless, my friends, that thing which we call love creates the changes and incarnates all that there is.
