Digital Heretic (The Game is Life, #2)

by Terry Schott

“Humans are strange creatures, aren’t we? We can believe the unbelievable so easily at times and doubt the truth just as readily at others.”

No matter where you stand on the long path, right now, try very hard to smile, and be glad you’re in the Game.

It’s hard to describe the flavour. It tastes faintly of crisp, fresh berries, mixed with honey and bubbly champagne. There’s also a faint hint of lemon and something else which I can’t describe, except to say it’s not really a taste but more of a sensation. The sensation is . . . exhilaration. Like standing on the front of a speeding boat, or diving off a cliff into the ocean. No words do it justice.

"The greatest secret is that we are more powerful than we think. The greatest tragedy is that we believe lies and ignore truth. The greatest hope is that we will wake up from the dream that we all share and free ourselves because the dream is a nightmare. There is a better life waiting for us all, not just outside of the Game, but here inside it as well. The dog that appears to be growling at us as we approach is actually looking behind us, doing his best to scare the attacker away. Instead of looking over our shoulders, we hush the dog and allow the danger to stalk us. There are many who say that Ignorance is bliss. I can assure you that it is not. Wake up."

The line between the dream and reality must disappear in order for one to become the other. If you tell yourself that soon you will fly, you never will, because you will never live in ‘soon’.

In order for an outcome to occur, the person must believe without any doubts that it will happen. It is always possible to ascertain this level of belief by observing how the person thinks and talks. They must be in a thankful mindset and believe that the change has already occurred. It’s that simple.”
