Catalyst and randomness

[Kiko]

There definitely seems to be some randomness. There's no rush to "finish" or anything, as there's basically all the time you could ever want to explore all experiences you desire.

I am appreciative for all the answers in this thread, and I think your use of the word seems sums it up Blargg. As others have said, randomness and catalyst ordered from the menu for our pleasure and learning are all a kind of illusion. Everything is distortion from oneness: everything is part of the 'game' we are free to play in any way we chose.

While I know that is so, I do find it interesting to explore ideas, knowing full well that I am using the very limited abilities and perceptions of my human ego-mind. That is part of the game and part of the fun, and if we did not do it we would probably just sit in a room looking at the wall, getting up only to eat, sleep, and go to the toilet now and then. While I would not wish to belittle those who practice living in such a way, I think that it is 'not living the game' that we came here to play. But then who am I to say?

Also, I like to find a balance in seeing what others have to say on perceptions I have (eg., randomness), by which I mean, not going to the extremes of either discounting all other opinions, or falling into repetitive discussion which becomes just an exercise in self-aggrandisement for all involved. These forums are a good part of the game, so thank you all!
