That's a good question to ponder over. If you were creating experience in your mind wouldn't you create something better than the long work day, the bizarre governmental systems, high gas prices, illnesses and disease? Hermes taught that all is mind and many others have expounded on that idea but if we're really creating the world through our mind, why are we complaining about so much of it? If we are that creative, why not creative self filling cupboards so we no longer need to grocery shop, self filling gas tanks or flying abilities that require nothing more than thought, to operate them, peace and harmony among the nations and every individual?

I hate to say the answer is Yes and No, but it is.
On the yes side, all our actions, creations, inventions, even hang-ups were present in our minds before they were manifested in slaps and kisses, children and stories, ratchets and gee-gaws, and visions of paranoia and victory.
On the no side are two factors. First, the mind doesn't see it as a game. So the mind, which is working 24 hours a day, even in our sleep, is constantly creating paths which we choose to take or not take. Second, I do believe that the things I see, as I look about this room, were visualized by other minds, not mine, and one of those minds is the God Mind that puts into form all the clay I might choose to buy at the local department store. There is an intelligence beyond mine because, even though I may think I am pretty hot stuff, there's a lot of stuff out there that is so hot that I can't even touch it with protective gloves.

No the world is not a mind game. Mind is the reason why person suffers in this world. If brain (intellegence) has a control over mind the this life will seems easier.See an anlogy.
Compare this living body with a horse-cart. Senses are like horses, if uncontrolled, can take u in the direction anywhere they like. Mind is like the rope used to control the horse, which should b ultimately in control of the driver(intellegence). The cart is compared to this body and the passenger is the soul which will be happy if all these components of this journey (life) will work in co ordination.

The world is not a game--it's real, how we choose to experience it is purely self created in our minds. Think about the decisions you make everyday, like getting pissed cuz someone cuts you off in your car...you chose to be pissed rather than choosing to blow it off and just wave and keep your good mood intact...every thing that happens to you is filtered by you and a reaction is chosen. Next time choose a different response and you'll have a different experience...so yeah it's a mind game and you can either win or lose in every moment that comes your way...like right now, choose to enjoy yourself...all day...even when things get hairy...choose to find the humor in it all...choose to be kinder...choose to be gracious, generous, witty, accomodating, agreeable etc...and you'll start really digging your life!
