     This is an amazing idea!!

     Obviously in the next years we will have all the theosophical
     literature on CD-ROM, but a GAME on Theosophy would be such an
     innovation unthinkable to theosophists at large.

     I belive a good path to achieve a reasonable theosophy game would
     be the ADVENTURE format.

     The "goal" could be such as "NIRVANA", "SUPREME UNION", etc.

     The screenplay could show, at the beginning, a simple mortal
     fighting for survival.  Each part of the game will show a period
     of the evolution of a man towards illumination, passing trough its
     strange moments and transformations.  A frame to be adopted could
     be the scheme of the CWL's MASTERS AND THE PATH (yes, I like CWL!).

     At the end of each stage the ADVENTURE (as one incarnation) it
     could show the progress of that soul in the improvement of its
     causal aura, and here can be used all the powerful capacity of
     image storage and computer graphics.  The music would be very
     important too, and a good suggestion will be the NEW AGE style.

     The history may go through the many different possibilities we have
     in our lifes towards that spiritual or secular life, the balance
     between the physical and spiritual conditions.  Another choice
     will be a kind of SPIRITUAL SIMCITY, with all the management of
     the construction and union of personality, soul and spirit.


> I'd love to hear your thoughts out there...

     Go ahead with your idea, Chris.  You have my humble support,
     and I am open to share other probable concepts for spiritual
     software.
