James Findlay  “ Who would ever believe that play would sneak up on us and bite us on our tails.  Who would ever believe that play is the essence of all things regarding thought, reason and knowledge.  Who would ever believe that all philosophies exploring the worlds of truth, the mind and the Soul, are forms of play.  who would ever believe that the very things we are striving to reach and achieve,  we already have within us, and are using this to strive, reach and achieve.” 
