I mean, from one perspective, I think you can look at it as setting the game aside once you realize that it's just a game. But from another perspective, I think you can look at it as realizing that the game has no outside or sidelines to it at all. Ever. ALL of it is a game.

Thoughts?
Well, I think you answered that in your same post, Joe. There are "iron chains" and "gold chains," and those are the "game."

Then there are "no chains," i.e. Samyak-karmanta:

Quote:
Thus, Samyak-karmanta (complete action) is free, spontaneous, and uncontrived action.
This is what I meant by reality being emergent. And I think Samyak-karmanta describes living emergently with the unfolding of the Universe.

No chains, no game!

Thanks for the quote!
