What I'm saying is that what is written and believed by PEOPLE has been and will continue to be frequently wrong when viewed from a different and more meaningful vantage point - that which is achieved upon "enlightenment", "nirvana",

Up to here, we agree, except instead of using the word "frequently" I would use the word "always", for the reason that egoic perception is fundamentally illlusory.

or simply when the "game over" occurs.

If "game over" means death:

since the overwhelming majority of "persons" are recycled (without the benefit of memory of the preceding lives, although some persons do have such memories)game-over does not really mean game OVER!

And since almost NOBODY exits at death into "enlightenment" because of their lack of preparation and capability to sustain that
(which requires the most intense discipline yet freedom of attention and energy. Both!)

the actual opportunity of "enlightenment" is primarily while embodied!

Namaste!
