"Everything"
"Everything."
How to describe it?
Created by animator David O'Reilly.
Appears like a video game.
Is not a video game as there are no goals.
Is an interactive experience.
Is about...well, everything.
A "player" (to use the term loosely) can explore the universe from the point of view of any living creature or non-living object.
Ambient soundtrack can include audio of lectures by the great philosopher and writer Alan Watts.
Listen to him speak beautifully about "The Game" (of The Universe, not this video game, although it is a perfect explanation of the game as well) while watching a sample of what "Everything" can look like.
"What are you afraid of losing when you die? Yes, everything that you have acquired as an individual and stored in your brain is dissolved and distributed. But at the same time it is equally obvious that when you die, there won’t be following the moment of death everlasting nothingness. So you can become aware of this tremendous interconnectedness of everything. Just as fronts go with backs and tops with bottoms, insides with outsides, solids with spaces, so everything that there is goes together. It makes no difference whether it lasts a long time or whether it lasts a short time. A galaxy goes together with all the universe just as much as a mosquito."

The Present Moment
“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.”

The Flow
“Be yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search or struggle. Just Be.”
--Thich Nhat Hanh
“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.”
--Ray Bradbury
“No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.”
--Alan Watts

...because in the end, it's all the same thing...
“Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”
--Alan Watts
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.”
--Alexandre Dumas, from THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
“The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive.”
--Carlos Castaneda
