Infinite Player as the One and Many

I think there is some confusion in the minds of the players.

In Infinite Play the never ending story, the characters are not "One". They are different, it is the actor, more correctly the "Being" both noun and verb behind the characters that is the same. The actors / characters all share the same global story, play ground, or set.

Some actors get really caught up in the play and become their characters thinking that this is their true self. They forget that they were pretending in make believe, and take it all seriously, which can add a certain dramatic quality to the story and perpetual conflict, villains and heroes. At it’s very basic level, being is the witness or in infinite play we might call it the audience. As we build on this basic foundation we create a production that allows the audience to not just witness but to also participate in the story. Some beings favor the audience perspective sitting at home watching the world’s story unfold on TV, happy with their story being rather mundane in the grand scheme, yet essential to it, and we find it impossible to have a comprehensive production without them. Then we have the bit parts and the leading roles which are a little more demanding, require greater risk taking, and are more strenuous in their own right, which necessitates greater rewards.

 



As for the actors we have the infinite actor and the finite actor. The infinite actor still behind all while differentiating itself slightly to allow for a diversity of various “essences of being” to bring color to the story rather than having everything black and white.

This grand production is not without depth, there are 1st and 2nd assistant directors and even the ability for participants to create and direct their own little productions. The great author being generous with the capability to create allows the participants to author their own stories which  add even more variety and flavor combining to support the great story.

The director is the all pervading intelligence and the producer is the universe with all it’s math and function that creates the set, allowing for the actors to live their stories, not to mention providing seating and accommodations for an audience for what purpose would a performer have without an audience?
