i'm imagining that my life has been lived countless times by other souls precisely the way it's happening, every thought & every action & everything, as if my life is just some sort of roller coaster ride that i didn't design
if this is the case, i can be praised for nothing & i can be blamed for nothing. responsibility goes out the window. i could simply be yet another observer & not the doer...if this is even what u were getting at, it makes a lot of sense to me. thanks for sharing
I think a good metaphor for how I used that train of thought would be a single player computer game. There is a possibility that a multitude of players would play the game exactly as you played it from beginning to end but there would also be a multitude of players exploring totally different playing styles. Would that really make your individual experience of choice and consequence less valid?
the idea does not do much more than add as an addition to our arsenal of metaphors used to cope and process this mysterious unknown situation.
Still, I found playing around with the idea oddly grounding and calming in to the present moment.
The graphics are pretty neat too =)
