Does experience itself hold any value

[kanonathena]

My understanding is that creator let different parts of itself to interact with one another to explore itself on a more micro level, the purpose is to gain a more refined (dense?) understanding of itself, to know its essence.

Therefore experience is only a tool not the purpose. The value of experience is that all creator is doing is experiencing itself, no understanding can be archived without experience (I guess).

Question:

1. Does different kind of experience lead to different understanding or merely generate different ways to the same understanding?

Ra said they are worried when there is little harvest at the end of the second cycle. But Ra also acknowledged that even if earth is destroyed in unclear war, this still bring useful information back to creator.

2. Do we always have to learn something from experience, does experiencing just for the sake of experiencing without understanding is not good practice?

I take Ra's stand as to maximize opportunity for experience and to maximize understanding that can be gained from experience. Therefore indulge in experience without learning is not advisable, and the information from these experience are not really a fair trade for understanding lost.
