The Game of the Game

🧾 “It Is Written” as Scripted Reality

In spiritual and prophetic terms, “It is written” and “The handwriting on the wall” both imply destiny is fixed — carved into the stone of time. No save scumming. No alternate endings.

But now think of that in game terms:

• Safe zones: Places where nothing can harm you. Like a prayer circle. Or your room as a child.

• Combat zones: Ordinary life — relationships, finances, karma, all mixed together in low-grade friction.

• Wild combat: Unexpected chaos — psychic attacks, illness, betrayal. A metaphysical “random encounter.”

• Boss fights: These are the big initiations — maybe a near-death, a heartbreak, a spiritual breakthrough.

• Checkpoint: The God State. Between trials. You rest here, glow a bit, maybe level up.

• Andariel-type gatekeeper: You can’t move to the next act until you confront the thing you fear. Not metaphorically. Literally.

So what if the handwriting on the wall is actually just the level design notes from the Builder?

SCRIPTED UNIVERSE – The “100 Comments”

1. Safe zones are illusions. Nothing’s truly safe until you are.

Those are intended as a random selection, such as a card deck shuffle. So here’s the song I made for “Written in the Code”. Not posted on youtube,  it’s for our use on zoom.

Written in the Code

===========================================================================

Checkpoint Dreams

===========================================================================

The NPC In the Corner

===========================================================================

• 🌀 Work & the God State

• 💼 Right livelihood / making a living in strange times

• 🔮 How to use one’s talents fruitfully

• 🧘 Spiritual practice as work, and vice versa

• 🛠️ The job you’re doing vs. the work you came to do

• 🧩 Helping others find their true work / puzzle-piece role

• 🕳️ What gets in the way of the work? (e.g., distractions, fears, karma)

===========================================================================

What Is the Work You Came to Do?

What if the job you’re doing isn’t the work you came to do?

And what if the real work doesn’t show up on any paycheck — but pays in clarity, resonance, and presence?

Is it possible that right livelihood means aligning your actions with the deep pattern, even if no one claps, buys, or notices?

When does spiritual practice become indistinguishable from work — or the work become a spiritual path, no incense or robes required?

Are your talents being used as tools, or just stored in a drawer marked “someday”?

What if the God State isn’t a break from labor, but the state you work within, regardless of task?

And how do you help others find their work, when so much of modern life is scripted to make them forget they ever had one?

Who profits when you stay confused, and what force wants to keep your puzzle-piece from snapping into place?

Can we trust that what gets in the way is the way — if met properly, with the tools already in our hands?

And what if the breakthrough is already written, waiting to reveal itself — not to the fastest, not to the cleverest, but to the one still working when the curtain lifts?

No matter what you’re doing or where you think you are…
it all snaps back to Norton Str33t when the curtain lifts.

===========================================================================

Norton Str33t Blues

It’s loaded with all the signature tones:

• Cosmic claustrophobia

• Recurring false awakenings

• Wry existential comedy

• That creeping “oh no, not this again” vibe

[VERSE 1]
Woke up again in the same old room,
Same 128 objects, same perfume.
The TV’s preachin’ déjà vu,
And the bathroom mirror’s starin’ through.

[CHORUS]
Oh no, not this again,
I’m the one — but I don’t know when.
Every time I die, I end up here,
On Norton Str33t with my doubt and fear.

[VERSE 2]
Captain Walrus guards the shelf,
I programmed every thought myself.
The wigs are stacked, the clock don’t tick,
The air is gone, and the nausea’s thick.

[CHORUS]
Oh no, not this again,
The loop won’t break, the sky won’t bend.
I built this level with cosmic pain,
A couple of rooms and an unlit brain.

[BRIDGE]
Can’t breathe, can’t die,
Pacing makes me feel like time goes by.
Everything’s illusion, even this line —
I wrote it once in a past divine.

[CHORUS – FINAL]
Oh no, not this again,
It’s my trip — not if, but when.
From Magic Theater to this dark suite —
I always wake up on Norton Str33t.

What’s-his-Name Wipe Kits
A rundown of tools for scrubbing him off your psychic windshield

Rename him in your head: From now on, he’s “That Guy,” “Agent Orange Julius,” or “404: Leadership Not Found,” or “He Who Shall Forevermore be Nameless”.

Never speak the real name. Follow the Voldemort protocol as in Harry Potter tales.

Install a mental content filter: When you hear the name, auto-translate it to elevator music or duck quacks. Reinforce with a silent chant: “I do not consent to this frequency.”

Use browser extensions: Plug-ins like “Make America Kittens Again” can replace photos of him with kittens. Or set a filter to swap all mentions of “Trump” with “A Bad Hair Year.”

Sigil work: Draw a “name erasure sigil” on sticky notes and place them over newspaper headlines, TV logos, or even your phone. Every glance becomes a clearing. Buy my Protection Sigils on various products, from tee shirts to mugs.

The Official “Nope Bell”: Keep a small bell, rattle, or snap band near you. Every time the name shows up — DING! — send it off like a bad dream. Reset the signal, rinse & don’t repeat.

Re-skin your world: Replace all references in your social feed with alternate history: “In this reality, we skipped from 2015 to 2025 and grew tomatoes on Mars. Feels good.”

Redirect attention like a ninja: Anytime someone brings him up, interrupt with: “Let me tell you about the mayor who bit the talking dog.”

Daily Decontamination Ritual: At the end of the day, whisper: “I release all thought-forms tied to False Kings. Let the circus fade away.”

Switch to God State radio: Tune your internal dial to Norton Str33t, where no media leaks through. Remember: “I built this level. That clown doesn’t get a cameo.”

Laugh him off the map: No joke. Mockery works. Write songs, tweets, or one-liners until he’s a punchline with no setup.

• “Try not to laugh when I say ‘name erasure sigil.’ Actually, go ahead and laugh. That’s the cleansing effect.”

• “You hear his name, you ding a bell. It’s called Pavlovian Disenchantment.”
