Re: Causal reality
My answer to Rareheart's question was this:
"Now to answer your question the very fact that you have set it within a game
where there are winners and loosers would tend to make me think that they
would kill you for being an everlasting winner .
But would you bring your same power to the people of some dry land and
summon rain to fall there so that they could then be fed they will praise you
as a god for your deeds."
And beyond this this quote comes to mind:
This is how you should contemplate. The world is an idea in the mind to which the word world has been attached. Beyond this idea is the mystery of beingness. But it's not possible to free people from their attachment to the idea--to that which blinds them to the reality--without appropriate methods. So you should tread the path of perfect giving, of patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom. Yet while following these activities, you should remain aware that the world is illusory. It is for the sake of those who do not know that you engage in dynamic and vigorous work and also in meditation and one-pointed attention. Understanding that without wisdom you can do nothing for others, you remain in the perfection of wisdom, which is the awareness that what you are doing is both essential and illusory.
-Prajnaparamita
Whatever path you choose make it a learning process and keep enough detachment and wisdom so as to make you sure that the ego's complexities do'nt override you .
