Meaning of the cell
This world is the land of karma.
The game is contained in the very nature of consciousness.
In the beginning there was no game, but consciousness, in accordance with its nature, could not remain motionless, without play.
And so...
"Let there be light!"
Let there be play!
And the Absolute turned from One into many.
By entering the game, the player repeats the original process of creation, when the Absolute awoke from inactivity and began the cosmic game in which each of us is a microcosm.
Having decided to play, the player must submit to the rules of the game (Dharma) and to the lot of karma.
One symbolizes an independent personality, an independent decision, an independent life, and the search for something new, extraordinary, and original.
