When you were a child, you played childish games.  That is what children do.  Once you grow up and realize you are a grown-up, you leave your childish games behind.  The spiritual path is similar:  When you are asleep and do not realize you are the expression of the Source, you suffer and act only as the ego wills.  Once you awaken and realize that the very Power of Love is you, far too often you continue approaching life from the old way of thinking.  How long will you play ego’s games before you step into your full Power and assume the mantle of Spirit?
