THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 11 Conclusion:
"Today you will study different cultures and get a strong feeling of where you would be most comfortable in your new life game. More imprtantly, where you will get the strengths and experiences you need, to meet the goals you have set in your game.
"Then you will go to the sample room where every color and hue of skin, hair, and eye color are displayed.
"You choose a hue and shade by standing in front of a mirror and seeing what you look like in various combinations. There will be knobs to turn to adjust shades for each color of skin, hair, and eyes. You turn the knobs until you are happy wth your choices.
"At the end of choosing your color palette, you are reminded that all of these colors are merely cosmetic differences and in no way affect your personal spiritual being. However, your choice of cosmetics, will have a strong bearing on the challenges you will face in your life game.
"Please relax and clear your mind. Know that you will instinctively understand the ramifications of your color choices, as they apply to your new game. You also will feel again the experiences you have had before in other life games, and these might tend to influence what you choose today. Try to put such considerations out of your mind, and rely on your inner knowledge of what you are planning for this game, to guide your choices.
"Thank you for listening so closely, it is our hope that you will have some vestiges of memory left in your mind and heart of this program's message, as you go out into your new world."
The lights came up, and Glenna and I sat in our seats for a while to think about what we had just seen. When most of the people had filed out of the theatre, we got up, and Glenna led me through a door into the Cultural Room for the Planet Earth. There were booths set up to represent each culture on Earth; there were hundres of them, and I wondered how I would ever find myself in just one of the cultures.
Each booth had samples of the food the culture enjoyed, and so the whole room was filled with wonderful aromas. We walked down many aisles sampling the foods and observing many of the cultures that were to be found on Earth. Then Glenna reminded me that I had already made many choices when I went to the Genealogical building, and that those choices would have an effect on which cultures I could choose between in this part of my preparations.
I knew that I would be German Jewish, English, Scotch, and Irish, so we went to the various booths to sample their foods and be instructed in their cultures. By far, my greatest emotion went to the German Jewish culture. Then I had strong Scotch feelings, followed by Irish and English. I guess I will be an anomoly, because I choose to accept all four cultures to be a part of me.
Once I had made that decision, Glenna led me into the Samples Room. There must have been a thousand mirrors in the room, but Glenna led me to the left side of the room where there was a lovely rosewood mirror. On the right side of the mirror, in the rosewood, were three knobs. Underneath one was a brass sign that said "skin." Under the other two were brass signs that said, "eyes" and "hair."
This looked like a lot of fun. I knew the range of colors that I could choose between for the various cultures I had chosen. In two of the categories, eyes and hair, I had a lot of choice.
I thought about my game plan, and remembered that I must get adopted for my plan to work. Glenna told me that there was a lot of prejudice about who was "adoptable" and who was less likely to be chosen. My heart grew very heavy when I thought about the plight of those left up to the state to raise. It was so unfair, but Glenna said that, as hard as it was to imagine, some people actually chose to be orphaned-much as I had-and then remain an orphan. I thought that those folks must be so strong to choose such a thing; stronger than I was, that's for sure.
So I asked Glenna, what cultures and colors were the most adoptable. Glenna said that the most "adoptable" in the country I had chosen to be born into, was white Anglo-Saxon. Well, that was certainly limiting; I have to imagine that adoption rolls must be very long.
"Another thing that I must tell you is that Ralph and Lucile are Protestant Christians and would not consider a Jewish child."
"So I really don't have total choice in the cosmetics that I choose today?"
"Not if you want to play the life game you are choosing."
So I began turning the knob for skn color from darker to lighter, until I came to a light cream color; actually kind of pale looking, but it did seem to fit the style I had chosen. I had kind of liked a darker tan color, but that didn't seem to be in the game plan for me.
Next, I turned the hair-color knob and found that only blonde seemed to match my skin color. I chose a certain golden-light reddish hue, that some people would call a "dirty-dishwater" blonde.
Then I turned the eye color knob and was astounded by the range of colors and hues found in eye colors. I finally decided on cerulean blue so that I could be the perfect blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby that so many prospective parents were looking for. The funny and odd thing was that I looked very little like the coloring of Ralph and Lucile. I looked more like Ralph with his red-brown hair, freckles, and blue eyes, than I looked like Lucile, who had an olive complexion and black hair. She also did have blue eyes; very pretty blue eyes.
Well, there I was, all made up, but looking very little like my first choice of culture; which was Jewish. how would I ever be able to explore my Jewish heritage? Well, if it is so important to me, I am sure that I will find a way to experience it; I would find a way.
Glenna said we were finished in the House of Cosmetics, and would soon move on to the House of Goals and Challenges, which was indeed challenging; but very interesting.
"Ann," said Glenna, "we will first spend some time on a long walk around the island. You have seen a great deal of it but on a very personal basis. Now we will walk and enjoy the view, and then we will have some dinner before we go to the next house."
"Thanks Glenna. You know, the House of Cosmetics really made me see that the more choices I make, the more consequences follow them; indeed, I am restricted as to some of the other choices I can make, as I prepare for my life game. I am glad I have had many past lives to experience different colors and cultures. I can re-experience then in my memories."
And with that, we began our walk.
Tomorrow we begin to build our Game Board for our new life game...
