Cosmologia Ludica (trans. Play Cosmology), is a whimsical philosophical investigation and prayerbook to “divine play” – defined as joyful listening and responding to the unknown without craving or aversion. When we are able to distance ourselves from the egoic rush felt in most popular games and sports, then, divine play finds us, in the soft shaking of leaves on branches, in the emotions felt in our bodies as we pass through our busy days, in the beautiful conversations that ensue with others, in the vibrant dance of music, in the shared resonance of our moving bodies as we tumble against each other. What kind of listening and responding to the unknown will bring you to your deepest and highest joy? What divine game will you play? This is one of the essential questions of life. The God of Play is asking it of you.https://www.blurb.com/b/11140542-cosmologia-ludica

Episode 23: Infinite and Finite Games, An Exegesis
James Carse wrote a definitive book on play called, “Finite and Infinite Games.” The book explains how life is composed of two differ- ent kinds of games – finite and infinite. The basic difference between the two is that finite games are played to win, and infinite games are played merely to continue the process of play. Carse’s book provides a brilliant expansion upon these definitions, showing how these two kinds of games unfold into all sectors of life and culture. Infinite games bears striking similarities to divine play. What follows is a lengthy exegesis on one key passage of Carse’s text, bringing these similarities into focus, and revising the passage itself by following Carse’s logic to its more playful extremes.
