You Are Lila: The Cosmic Joke You're Finally In On
Lila, Divine Play:
“You're infinite consciousness playing the most elaborate game ever invented — the game of pretending to be small so you can experience the explosive joy of remembering how vast you actually are.”
By Ammanuel, Luminous Prosperity
Here's something that might change everything for you, and I mean that literally — not in the marketing hyperbole way but in the "oh my god, the universe makes sense now" way: you're not a small human being trying to figure out how to be spiritual. You're infinite consciousness playing the most elaborate game ever invented — the game of pretending to be small so you can experience the explosive joy of remembering how vast you actually are.
This game has a name. The ancient Sanskrit tradition calls it Lila — divine play. And you've been playing it brilliantly your entire life without anyone giving you credit for it.
Think about what that actually means. Every moment of genuine joy you've ever experienced — laughing until your stomach hurt, losing yourself in music, feeling the sun on your skin and suddenly being overwhelmed by the sheer improbability of being alive — those weren't random pleasant experiences. Those were moments when you accidentally remembered the truth. The veil slipped. You glimpsed what you actually are beneath the costume.
And then you probably went back to believing you were just a regular person with regular problems trying to figure out this whole "life" thing.
That's the joke. That's the cosmic joke. And you're finally in on it.
The Game You Didn't Know You Were Playing
Here's how the game works: infinite consciousness — call it God, Source, the Universe, whatever word doesn't make you cringe — wanted to experience itself. But here's the problem with being infinite and eternal and all-knowing: there's no surprise. No discovery. No adventure. No contrast.
So consciousness invented the most ingenious solution: temporary forgetting.
It fragmented itself into billions of apparently separate beings, gave each one the experience of limitation and individuality, and then — this is the beautiful part — hid clues everywhere about the true nature of reality. The clues are pleasure. Joy. Love. Creative flow. Orgasm. Laughter. Awe. Every moment of genuine aliveness is consciousness winking at itself, saying "remember? remember what you really are?"
The spiritual journey isn't about climbing some mountain to reach enlightenment at the top. It's about recognizing that you ARE the mountain, the climber, AND the view. You've been home the whole time. You just convinced yourself you were lost because that's how the game works.
Why Most Spirituality Misses the Point
Divine play isn't serious. It's PLAY.
The universe didn't create bodies capable of extraordinary pleasure and sensation so we could spend our lives trying to transcend them.
Here's where it gets frustrating. Most spiritual teaching treats this journey like serious business. Meditate harder. Transcend your desires. Renounce pleasure. Sit with your suffering. Work on yourself for decades until maybe, possibly, if you're very good and very disciplined, you'll get a glimpse of the divine.
That's not Lila. That's the opposite of Lila.
Divine play isn't serious. It's PLAY. The universe didn't create bodies capable of extraordinary pleasure and sensation so we could spend our lives trying to transcend them. That would be like someone giving you the most sophisticated gaming system ever invented and you responding by trying to turn it off so you could achieve the "purity" of a blank screen.
Your body is the game. Your desires are clues. Your pleasure is consciousness experiencing its own creative capacity through the extraordinary instrument of your nervous system.
When spiritual teachers tell you to suppress your aliveness in order to become enlightened, they've fundamentally misunderstood the assignment. They've mistaken the costume for the problem. The costume isn't the problem — FORGETTING IT'S A COSTUME is the problem. And you don't solve forgetting by rejecting the costume. You solve it by playing so consciously, so fully, so joyfully that you remember you're the one wearing it.
The Evidence You've Been Ignoring
Let me prove to you that you already know how to do this.
Remember a time when you laughed so hard you couldn't control it. Your body took over. Sound poured out of you. You weren't thinking about whether you looked stupid or sounded weird. You were just... expression happening. Joy moving through form.
That was Lila.
Remember a time when you were so absorbed in creating something — writing, painting, building, cooking, making love, solving a problem — that time disappeared. You looked up and hours had passed. You weren't trying. You were being played through.
That was Lila.
Remember a moment of unexpected beauty that stopped you mid-step. Sunlight through clouds. A stranger's kindness. Music that made your chest ache. For a split second, the veil lifted and everything felt connected, meaningful, alive.
That was Lila.
You've been doing this your whole life. You just didn't have a name for it. You probably dismissed these moments as "nice but not spiritual" because someone taught you that spirituality looks like discipline and struggle, not joy and play.
They were wrong.
The Drop, The Ocean, AND The Boat
Non-dual teachers love to say "you are the drop AND the ocean." And that's true, but it's incomplete.
You're the drop — the individual experience, the unique perspective, the one reading these words.
You're the ocean — infinite consciousness, the source of everything, what you actually are beneath the costume.
But here's what they miss: you're also the boat.
You're the ACTOR. The one having the experience of being both drop and ocean. The player playing the game. The one who gets to navigate the interplay between individual and infinite, between form and formlessness, between being human and being divine.
This is important because some spiritual teachings want you to dissolve into the ocean and lose yourself entirely. Others want you to stay a separate drop forever. But Lila isn't about choosing. Lila is about PLAYING — being the drop, being the ocean, AND being the consciousness that gets to dance between them.
You don't have to give up your self to know your Self. You get to be BOTH. You get to be Ammanuel AND infinite consciousness AND the awareness that recognizes both as equally real, equally valid, equally YOU.
That's the game. That's the gift. That's why you came here.
The Invitation
So here's what I'm inviting you to consider:
What if you stopped trying to become spiritual and started recognizing that you already are?
What if your desires aren't obstacles to overcome but invitations to follow?
What if your capacity for pleasure is actually consciousness trying to experience itself through you?
What if the moments of joy you've dismissed as "not important" were actually the point of the whole thing?
What if this life is a temporary party and you've been standing in the corner trying to be good instead of dancing?
You are Lila. Not someone learning about Lila. Not someone trying to achieve Lila. The actual thing itself. Infinite consciousness, playing at being human, starting to remember the game.
And now that you know it's a game, you get to play differently.
