A great analogy for the Game of Life, and the truth realisation process, can be found in the 1998 movie, ‘The Truman Show’.

It also demonstrates how a desire to uncover the truth quickly intensifies into an all consuming obsession. And finally, it shows the glorious yet bittersweet moment when everything has been released and all that remains is the truth. *** Seeing a concept visually can sometimes be more valuable than words alone. So I highly recommend finding a copy of this fantastic movie and discovering all of the parallels that it has with the truth realisation process and the Game of
