The Soul Game is an interactive, virtual reality game to train heroes by developing and appealing to our emotional nature. The players in the Soul Game behave much like the avatars in very sophisticated environments such as www.secondlife.com. The value of these games has also been discovered by real-life enterprises. SAP Labs in Palo Alto for instance are currently developing 3-D virtual world simulations to train oilrig workers for evacuation procedures.

In a similar vein the Soul Game is a world simulation. The storyline or plot of the game, Goodness Triumphs Over Evil, make for an interesting and often risky adventure trip into many different scenarios until the winners are finally rewarded with all the virtues necessary for a heroine.

It is easy to see how virtues are developed by helping victims; but maintaining integrity in a confrontation with villains takes some real emotional skills.

The Soul Game is played in an environment of dualities. The Core Duality is Power and Love, and by now our heroine has indeed developed these two virtues. Keeping them while triumphing over villains who personify evil in the Soul Game can be quite a challenge.

The emotional key is in the words “triumphs over”. In one dictionary definition, triumph means to be ecstatic with joy. Passion is a great word for me, triumphing or conquering with passion.

Beware Anger

Beware of anger. Of course, like everything else, anger also is a duality; it has positive and negative aspects. Passion is the positive aspect of anger and is the emotional fuel to bring about change for the better. If there is one quality that separates our senior heroine other players in the Soul Game, it is her accountability. Long ago she left blame behind, finding blame was a trap. Finding her accountability in any situation is what frees her.

Negative anger is based on blame. Destruction with anger and hate leads to death, the greatest emotional threat hanging over the Soul Game. But our heroine has already developed the virtue of courage, which means she had to overcome her fear of death before taking on the heroine role.

But she has no intention of behaving in a reckless, out-of-control manner. Life and death are other aspects of the Soul Game’s core duality: Life belongs to Love and Death to Power.

Our senior heroine is truly excited about triumphing over villains, which means exposing their action and stopping them. She is not about to succumb to anger and hate as her emotional energy to triumph.

The villain justifies all his actions on the premise that life is unfair but our heroine will have compassion for his faulty thinking. Although compassion is a virtue there is nothing weak about it. Passion and Compassion is our senior hero’s cry.  Passion to bring about change! And compassion for the villain, who is but an intermediate player in the Soul Game and a loser.
