“Every Game has Resources – items or assets available to players that assist them in achieving their objectives. Resources can include in-game currency, tools, power-ups, or any other elements that players can use to their advantage.
“The Game of Life provides its Players with a complex network of resources, full of opportunities and challenges. First, let us look at the assets available to every Soul, regardless of its spiritual state.
“Consider a Soul at Rest in Everly. Its main asset is its direct Connection to ALL. Since every Soul is created from ALL’s Essence, each one is a unique extension of ALL.
“Each Soul has a unique Personality, which resides within the Soul, not the Garb. This can be a hard truth for Garbs to accept: the RealYou is the Self version of you, not the Garb version.
“Every Soul has full Autonomy over its fate. Each Soul has unrestricted Choice whether, when, why, and where to souljourn in TempTerra, thanks to the Free Will granted by ALL.
“Unlike Garbs, who rely on reasoning, Souls have direct access to all Truths. They possess pure Knowledge without guesswork or speculation.
“Souls can also interact across Time and Space using Spiritual Vibrational Energy. This ability is what empowers and facilitates Prayer and Meditation.
“Souls on a Behest collaborate to improve Vastitude. Protective Corps are special groups of Souls assigned to Harmonizing or Balancing tasks in TempTerra, as approved by Everly’s leadership.
“Now, let us explore the special Bonding between each Garb and its Self. ALL offers many resources for these connections.
“The main goal of these resources is to spread love, which is central to every souljourning. Among these resources, Emotions are especially valuable. They are the key link between Garb and Soul, as will be explained under Mechanics.
“While Garbs might see emotions as purely ‘human,’ they are actually a Divine Litmus Test of Spiritual Equilibrium, another concept we will cover under Mechanics.
“Garbs also gain from Spiritual Enlightenment, a constant source of Truth and Knowledge always available. Selfs, who hold this Truth and Knowledge, respond to inquiries from the Garb’s Mind. The answers are already within the Garb’s Self, aligning with the saying, “before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”
“However, Garbs often remain stubborn and selfish, and their egos will not query their Selfs for guidance. To address this, Everly has actively provided spiritual guidance over the eons, using every form of communication imaginable. Few other creatures share such rich Culture, History, Education, and Arts, especially Music.
“Everly’s interventions have necessarily become less subtle over time, culminating in the Ten Graces. As an aside, later we will examine how these precious pearls of wisdom gradually evolved into what are known as the Ten Commandments. (Hint: They were never true commandments, as ALL honors the Absolute Law of Free Choice.)
“The first five of the Ten Graces, known as the ‘Five Graces of Right Principles,’ outline how Selfs should conduct themselves in TempTerra.
“ALL has also blessed Garbs with TempTerra’s abundance, more than enough for Humanity’s sustenance. Hint: More than enough for sharing. ALL’s only request is that Humans protect and sustain Nature, so it will do the same for them, and their progeny.
“Humans have a unique ability not found in other creatures: the art of observation. They excel at Observing and Remembering, further enhanced by Race Memory, Culture, Traditions, and Heritage.
“Frosting on the cake, so to speak – ALL has gifted humans with Souls that have boundless creativity and invention. The arts and sciences showcase the limitless potential of Souls. However, none of these—Arts, Sciences, History, Education, or Reasoning—would be possible without the ability to retain and remember information.
“Let us now look at resources for Garb-to-Garb interactions. Recently, Everly introduced the Ten Graces, with the last five known as the ‘Five Graces of Right Conduct.’
“These Graces provide Garbs with clear guidance on how to interact lovingly with others. Millions of Exit Reports from Returning Selfs provide irrefutable evidence that Garbs often struggle with the idea of Spreading Love.
“And yet, the Five Graces of Right Conduct clearly outline this: Right Thought, Right Words, Right Actions, Right Character, and Right Judgment.
“Additionally, ALL has incorporated Synergy into TempTerra’s design. Synergy means the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—essentially, ‘two heads are better than one.’ It is the idea that working together Garbs can achieve more than any one of them could alone.
“Moving from individuals to groups, we next consider resources for Garb interactions within and among groups.
“The first resource is the concept of Law and Order. Whether humans would have developed this idea independently is a question for another time. However, ALL set an example for balancing chaos and order; humans need only observe Nature and its Absolute Laws.
“Immutable Order defines the outer limits of behavior, within which chaos or randomness can occur. Consider a skein of geese, seemingly coordinated in synchronized flight.
“Yet, each is independently navigating the winds (Free Will), while abiding a few hard-and-fast rules (Order). Such rules include staying close, but not too close to other birds; reacting to atmospheric conditions, and so forth.
“In human affairs, peaceful coexistence is possible if broad Rules that allow for individual choice are accepted by those individuals. Justice relies on enforcing these Rules through a Judiciary committed to Equality, Impartiality, Tolerance, and Fairness.
“Civic Responsibility complements Judicial authority, balancing Citizen Rights with a willingness to comply and compromise.
“Finally, we look at resources for Societies to manage their internal and external interactions. Governance plays a key role in regulating the behavior of the masses but also wields significant authority over individuals.
“The main purpose of SoulJourning to TempTerra is for Selfs to inspire their Garbs to spread love. This makes an individual’s right to choose their own path crucial, deserving of our protection.
“Democracy, then, is the key to balancing Mortal and Spiritual needs. It is vital for the survival and growth of Mankind, as highlighted and clarified by the Harmony Points.
“We learn that, without Democracy, Free Will is smothered, even extinguished. America stands as the first and best example of Democracy. While humans may dispute it, make no mistake about it, America has been Divinely chosen to guide Humanity. America is a spiritual entity, with a collective Soul just like a Garb has a Self.
“Ultimately, America boils down to the Will of its citizens, The People. In the end, how The People rule determines America’s fate and, in turn, the fate of Humanity as well.
