Rev. Pat Brideaux shares a perspective on life as a game, the game of Hide and Seek. Taking from Robert Scheinfeld's book Busting Loose from the Money Game, she describes how we seek things that seem hidden; in our infinite state, we "hid" certain aspects of ourselves, and now we spend our lives searching for them. The joy is in the searching and the finding. We are not searching in vain---whatever we are looking for is there, simply hiding.
The book Manifesting Change by Mike Dooley reminds us that our feelings are our guidance system. Feeling bad does not mean anything has gone wrong---it means that our guidance system is working, telling us to make a U-turn, to find a better path.
