A Lesson from the Spirit

I found myself in a school gym, peeking out from behind a partition. Players sit on the benches, and someone is shooting a ball into the basket.

"The games are engaging."
"What is this game?"
"This is life. Life itself is a game in which everyone is involved. Knowing that only this game exists, you do not think that it might not be."
You sit on the bench and watch a player shoot balls and wait for your chance to appear. You bide your time. It's captivating. And it doesn't matter where the player who threw the ball will go afterward; what matters is that you want to be in his place. You make many comparisons. You try on the behavior model imposed by the material world. You try it on and try to fit that code, adjust yourself and align with the overall system.
"But what should one do? What is right in this case?"
"The right thing is to stand up and leave."
To rise from the bench of substitutes and walk out of the hall.
"And what about those who have lost interest in life? They don't have that excitement, yet they don't follow a spiritual path either?"

I am shown a person standing in that hall in a corner, simply standing in the corner.

"Spirit, what does this mean?"
"He turns away from the world, but he still doesn't understand that there is not only this corner, not only this hall; the world is much larger."
"How can one see the way out of this hall?"
"The way out will manifest itself on its own, in an absolutely natural way, if a person resolves to see it."
Many say they want to find a way out of a situation and cannot find it.
"What does that mean?"
"It means the person has butted up against this corner; he is in the game and at the same time outside it. He is neither on the bench nor among the active players; he abstracts himself from the process. But if he turns to his Spirit with a request to show him the way out, that door will reveal itself."
The exit from the matrix-like system of reality.
