If I've taken anything away from reading Alan Watts' Out Of Your Mind, it's that you should play the game for the sake of playing. Not to get to the end, or finish, or get to the destination, but for the experience, the journey.

One of if not the most challenging games is teaching someone about spiritually is that they don't need to be taught. To do this a guru might give an impossible question or task and they will pursue them with angst until they realize for themselves that by trying to do these things just to make yourself better so you can "win" the game of life is the answer as to why you have a problem. There is no winning or losing, there just is what there is and there is no reason to try or not try. You can follow a religion or not, practice certain beliefs or not, you can be left or right, but don't worry yourself with being the most serious about it. You only need to be sincere in what you do, but a lot of stress and problems are simply from taking everything so seriously all the time.
