Our discussion here begins with a discussion of The Truth of who you really are. Who you really are is what I call an “Infinite Being” – a magnificent being who lives in a constant state of infinite power, wisdom, abundance, and joyfulness. Along your journey, you’ve no doubt heard something like this:
“We are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience.”
That’s true, but it’s the little-known True nature of our “physical experience” I want to chat with you about here.
Your natural state as an Infinite Being also includes having an unlimited desire to play, explore, and express yourself creatively. As a result, you decided you wanted to play a game called “The Human Game.”
We’re all here playing The Human Game!
The Human Game — What is it and why do we play it?
I define the term “game” as anything we do for entertainment, fun, challenge, and to express ourselves creatively. As such, to me, sports and traditional games like checkers, chess, bridge, and monopoly are games. But so is painting sculpting, playing a musical instrument, reading novels, watching plays, movies or TV shows, etc.
For purposes of discussion and using metaphors in this article, however, I’m going to focus 100% on sports games. All sports games have specific structures, themes, “playing fields,” and specific ways of winning.

Like baseball games have 9 innings, golf matches have 18+ holes, soccer games have two halves, and tennis matches have multiple sets, The Human Game was designed to have two phases. I call them “Phase 1” and “Phase 2” to keep things simple
The Goal of the Human Game
The theme of baseball is to score more runs than the other team. For golf, it’s to get the ball into the cup with the fewest number of strokes. For soccer it’s to score more goals than your opponent. The theme of The Human Game is to fully explore the experience of limitation and restriction – to explore what happens when you limit your natural state of infinite power, wisdom, abundance, joy, and ability to express yourself creatively.
Phase 1 Of the Human Game
To take that concept deeper, since your natural state is one of infinite power, wisdom, abundance, and joy, in Phase 1 of The Human Game, the goal is to convince yourself you’re the opposite of that – that you’re not powerful; you’re at the mercy of forces beyond your control; you’re living in a dangerous world; you’re not very “smart” (and/or there’s so much you don’t know and must learn); you’re not very abundant as it relates to money and stuff (or your abundance is unstable and can come, go, shrink, grow, etc.); and you’re unhappy or experiencing “negative” emotions most of the time.
As a result, The Human Game is jam packed with all sorts of limiting and restrictive ideas and experiences. Concepts like death, poverty, loss, fear, pain, shame, struggle, and sorrow were all created exclusively for The Human Game experience.
The Playing Field For The Human Game
Soccer is played on a field, basketball on a court, baseball on a diamond, golf on a course. The playing field for The Human Game is what we call “3 Dimensional Reality” or “The Physical Universe,” which has visible and invisible components.
The playing field isn’t “real.” It doesn’t Truly have any power over us. It’s a cleverly crafted illusion that we create and convince ourselves is real and has power over us in Phase 1 — as the quantum physicists and mystics have told us.
Once you’re born, the process of forgetting The Truth (about who you really are and what your natural state is), limiting and restricting yourself, and convincing yourself the illusory playing field is real kicks into high gear. In the popular psychology, success and self-help literature, this process is often called programming or conditioning, but it goes much deeper than is generally discussed.
How To Play In Phase 1 Of The Human Game
Therefore, to play in Phase 1 of The Human Game, we must:
- Create the illusory playing field (3 Dimensional Reality), convince ourselves it’s real and has tremendous power over us
- Convince ourselves we’re the opposite of who we really are as we play The Human Game on the field
- Play with and explore limitations and restrictions in a myriad of ways as we play on the field
Living In Phase 1
That was a tremendous achievement – and it’s at the core of what makes The Human Game so much fun and challenging for us as Infinite Beings (even though you and I might disagree about it being “fun” at times from our limited and distorted perspectives). To do it, we used every resource at our disposal – personal experiences, what we see happening to other people, what others say to us, what we say to ourselves, the media, song lyrics, movies and TV shows, books, etc.
As we play in Phase 1, because the name of the game is limitation and restriction, there are so many things we want to change, fix and improve about our lives. We’re encouraged to try all kinds of strategies, techniques, and tools to do it. But we never fully succeed – or the experience of “success” doesn’t last. The reason that happens is because remaining limited, restricted, and convinced the illusion is real is the desired outcome in Phase 1. By design, it doesn’t change and we don’t get to “have it all” until we enter Phase 2 and expand to a certain point. More about that in a minute.
The Self-Created Cloud Of Illusion
Let me share a metaphor with you to hammer this critical and little-known Truth home. Compare the Infinite Being that you really are to the sun. When you think of the sun, you think of tremendous power, energy, light and heat, right? So it’s a good fit for your natural state.
Now, imagine that in Phase 1, you create a very solid, dense, layer of cloud cover that blocks your access to the sun of who you really are. Metaphorically then, on the other side of the cloud cover, as we play in Phase 1 on the illusory playing field called 3 Dimensional Reality, we’re playing in a dark, cold, black and white world – compared to the brightness, warmth, and “color” of our natural state as Infinite Beings.
As long as the cloud cover is in place and access is blocked to your natural state, you may be able change some of the details of what you experience on a daily basis – as it relates to income, net worth, business, career, relationships, health and wellness, etc. (you may not) – but even if you do, you’ll still remain limited, restricted, convinced the illusion is real and you’re the opposite of who you really are within it. Why? Because that’s the whole point, the goal, the “job” of the cloud cover in Phase 1!
This is why none of the self-help, personal growth, or success techniques work consistently or reliably. They’re not meant to in Phase 1!
Achieving True And Lasting Transformation
You must knock out the cloud over if you want to experience what I call “True And Lasting Transformation.” You can’t just have an intellectual understanding of who you are, what your natural state really is, and what’s really going on, you must actually knock out the cloud over.
Most of us spend our lives struggling in Phase 1 (to one degree or another, in one or more areas of our lives), trying to change, fix and improve our circumstances, failing to do it fully, having no idea there’s a Phase 2 of The Human Game, or how to begin playing it. That was my story until 5+ years ago.
Entering Into Phase 2 Of The Human Game
In Phase 2 of The Human Game, the whole game reverses itself. Where Phase 1 was all about limitation, restriction, illusions appearing real, creating and locking the cloud cover into place, Phase 2 is all about expansion, knocking out the cloud cover, and re-experiencing The Truth of who you really are.
Phase 2 has two segments to it. In the first segment, you continue playing The Human Game, but you take an extraordinary journey that enables you to drill holes through the cloud cover, knock out bigger and bigger chunks of it, and expand back into more and more of a direct and consistent experience of who you really are — with full access to your infinite power, wisdom, abundance, joy, and ability to express yourself creatively in a myriad of ways.
Playing The Game With No Limits
In the second segment of Phase 2, you continue playing The Human Game, you don’t become “enlightened” and leave, but you begin playing for the sheer pleasure of playing — with no limits or restrictions at all, except those you choose to experience to create games that are fun for you to play.
Moving through the first segment of Phase 2 into the second segment of Phase 2 is how you Truly “win” The Human Game! True Success is not about being “successful” as it relates to money, business, career, relationships, health and wellness, sex, being happy, being of service to others, etc. – it’s about expanding back into a direct experience of who you really are, and being able to play The Human Game for the sheer pleasure of playing – with no “outside” limits or restrictions.
Opening The Gateway To Phase 2
Through a remarkable journey that began for me when I was 12 (I’m 52 at the time of this writing), I discovered how to open a gateway into Phase 2. I developed a set of tools you can use to drill tunnels through the cloud cover, poke holes through it, ultimately knock out huge chunks, and expand as you play the Phase 2 game. I also created a series of maps and guidance systems that support you as you drill and expand. I’ll share more about my discoveries with you in the free gifts described below.
I’m sure this all sounds very exciting to you, but it may also seem impossible, impractical, pie in the sky, or something reserved for a special few. I assure you it’s possible, it’s practical, and it’s do-able — for you!
To me, the Phase 2 game is the best game in town, and an extraordinary experience that’s beyond words. My first priority and primary focus in life is playing The Phase 2 game myself. My second priority and point of focus is supporting others who wish to do the same. I invite you to join me, and thousands of others worldwide, who are now playing the Phase 2 Game.
As I mentioned in the video above, the words above barely scratch the surface of what I have to share about Phase 1, Phase 2, and winning The Human Game. To allow you to go deeper, I’ve got two free gifts for you. One is a 90 minute audio recording taken from a live event I did, and the other is a 35 page E-book.

This is a really great story and a great opportunity and I would like to give my contribution to FinerMinds community. For those who are separated from the Journey To The Infinite by 5 hundred miles: Don’t worry. There is always the Pathway to Happiness. Only you need to do is to search.
I am still searching. I can’t help it. I am driven. This has helped I am a little closer to an answer.
Fascinating. Feels right somehow, too. I’m very glad I’ve begun drilling holes and allowing more and more joy and light into various aspects of my life … and that this will continue to expand.
I am thankful for teachers such as Robert Scheinfeld who package this timeless wisdom in ever new and helpful ways, and express it in their wonderful spirit.
Thank you for sharing, Robert!
Blessings

Great metaphors here — much for my unconscious mind to ponder and integrate. Thanks!
I was really disappointed to find out that this was just a “free” access to advertising and that to understand how to end the human game I had to pay 500$. It’s not like Finer Minds to deceive people and I hope you won’t start doing it from now on. i’ve just lost almost an hour of my day.
best regards

The problem and the solution are on the same page.
Patricia, have you seen the comment on 1st comment place?
If people are genuine in making a difference to other peoples lives why is there a cost $ to it. It’s incongruent to me.
I started playing this presentation and after 5 slides it has hanged out.

It would be better if we can download »gifts<>recalcitrant«
Since I allways like to learn more, I would like to be able to see and read it all offline, at my own pace and in time that suits me.….
So please, make it all downloadable!
Regards from Zagreb, the Capitol of Croatia, Europe!
Great stuff! Thanks Ana for always helping others!
Please correct the typo in the second paragraph of the Editor’s Note — Robert has became a multimillionaire, plunged $153,000 in debt, -
Thank you.
How absolutely fabulous! And such wonderful metaphors for playing the game of life. Very well done indeed!
fantastic,i feel thrilled to go through.thank you so much
Gavan– true but not everyone has 500 dollars
Thank you is because I can tell now I’m on the borderline between first and second phase and perhaps this is the stage in which is most difficult.Want to tell everyone that this is my truth … achieved with much suffering and will, I would be very nice if I could see one day man wrote those words
I read Robert’s book, Busting Loose from the Money Game, a couple of months ago and it has the process of how to get to phase two in it. It is an amazing book and has changed my life. Weird phase two experiences have already happened to me that my expanded self is using to show me that this really is an illusion. I recommend that everyone read the book! I look for all of Robert’s writings and videos online and am extremely impressed with his uncanny ability to explain and simplify seemingly complex things. To anyone who thinks money is an issue, that is just your phase 1 experience talking, and money is only a show of gratitude or appreciation. Would you not thank someone for a gift? See you in Phase 2– Tiffany
i have read so many books, and im very hungry for knowledge
this human game is the closest ever, that i can think done something to me
thank u my friend
