Hand-I coordination

There is the one that thinks, and the one that observes those thoughts.


I am an avid gamer. I consider it a hobby. I've gotten a message from the whole thing. In my conversations with people who have tried video games and did not like them, I got the sense that some people got confused trying to figure out the buttons. Others got caught up with what's on the screen. It takes a coordination of the hand and the eye to be successful. In this way, the games mirror life more than just their screen adaptations. I would say that your body, brain included, is what's on the screen(the hand). The part of you that actually witnesses everything going down is you sitting there with the controller in your hand(the eye, or "I"). If you were to think of yourself as merely the person on the screen, then judgement would be impaired by fear because you would not realize the totality of things. If you look down at the buttons and can't seem to look up at the screen to figure out what's happening, the game will be over soon. Jesus called this "eye" that I speak of "the Father". The person with the controller in his/her hand is capable of way more than the character on the screen. The parallels are endless.

There is the character on the screen, and the one that controls the
character.
