I asked myself this today and the answer was immediately clear.
In short, yes! In fact, it does it brilliantly!
A hugely significant element of the spiritual journey can be summed up by this simple maxim...
"The ego is a wonderful servant but a terrible master"
The Game, gamifying life the way some of us are doing here, does exactly that.
We 'use' the ego to play a fun game instead of being used by it.
And couldn't it be that life is a spiritual quest? That's my perspective.
Have any others in here on a spiritual journey thought about this?
