LOVE, Kloudiia

I’ve just had bucketfulls of fun and laughter playing games at our very first RCIA intergroups gathering yesterday. Funny thing is this - it wasn’t my first time playing some of the games, yet I’ve come back with different absorptions and learnings about people, about life.

Latecomers weren’t spared from doing forfeit, and so six blind men were born. They were tasked to take a rope and form a triangle shape with their eyes blindfolded. Of course, planning was crucial.  A team leader was essential. What else was needed for the game to be completed? Make a guess …

Complete trust and obedience from all the team members! Isn’t it so? If one of them chose not to follow instructions or have trust in those guys shouting out the instructions, what would happen? The triangle wouldn’t be formed in such a short time, and it would inevitably raise the tension among the rest of the members as they start panicking because they couldn’t see.

Your physical eyes couldn’t see, so we replace it by using out mind’s eyes. We see a vision inside our head, and from that, we place each team member at three strategic places to form the triangle. But is it really a triangle? You wouldn’t know until you remove the blindfold, but yet you know you have got the triangle because as each of the members were moving into their respective location, the mind’s eyes would have changed the look inside our heads too, especially the leaders.

What does this tell us my friends? 

What the mind can concieve, the body can achieve. ~ LL Cool J

But, in this case, it’s not only what the mind can concieve. It needs to be more than that! It is this …

What the mind can concieve and believe, it can achieve ~ Napolean Hill

Yes, we require all to see what the mind can concieve and also to believe that we are indeed doing things right, standing in the right location and exerting the right pressure on the rope, and most importantly, to believe in our leaders, then we can achieve it, isn’t that so?

When they did that, and so it was! They got the triangle, creating lots of laughter as well.

You see what you see in the mind, and your mind tells you that what it see is the truth. It’s a subjective reality you subscribe to, and you can either choose to believe as the reality, or you can choose not to. So the question is, how useful is it to choose either one?

It depends on what the subjective reality is. If it is something empowering and postive, why not choose to believe it and act on it? By choosing otherwise, how useful is that?

More learnings from another game in Part 2 of this post. Come back tomorrow will you?
