Origins of the Universe

this story was gifted to me in 1986 by a 16 year old angel... and re-told to me, 23 years later, verbatim, by a beautiful yoga teacher with the voice of the goddess:

There is an old story from India about the God, Brahma. In the beginning, he was all alone. Nothing existed but Brahma, and he was completely bored. He decided to play a game... but there was no one to play with. So he created a beautiful goddess, Maya, just for the purpose of having fun. Once Maya existed and Brahma told her the purpose of her existence, she said:

"Okay, let's play the most wonderful game."

"Wonderful! What is it?" responded Brahma.

Maya replied "First, you have to promise to do exactly what I tell you to do."

Brahma agreed, and following Maya's instructions, he created the sun and the stars, the moon and the planets. Then he created life on earth, the animals, the oceans, the atmosphere, everything.

Maya said:

"How beautiful is this world of illusion you have created. Now I want you to create a kind of animal that is so intelligent and aware that it can appreciate your creation." 

So Brahma created Humans, and after he finished their creation, he told Maya:

"I have done as you asked. Now, when will the game start?"

"We will start right now," she replied.

Maya then took Brahma and proceeded to cut him up into thousands of teeny, tiny pieces. She then took little pieces of Brahma and placed one into each and every Human. Once that was done, she announced:

"Now the game begins! I am soon going to make you forget what you are. To win the game, your goal is to try and find yourself!"

Maya then created the Dream, and still, even today, Brahma is trying to remember who he is. Brahma is there inside you, and Maya is stopping you from remembering who you are.

When you awake from the Dream, you become Brahma again, and reclaim your divinity. Then if Brahma inside you says, "Okay, I am awake; what about the rest of me?" you know the trick of Maya, and you can share the truth with others who are going to wake up too. Two people who are sober in the party can have more fun. Three people who are sober is even better. Begin with you. Then others will start to change, until the whole dream, the whole party is sober... and awake... and real... and Free.... and all, all at once, remembering who you are. For you are Gods, each and every one of you, here on Playground Earth.

Live it.
