is a generally negative view towards deterministic models of spacetime, and the reason is the illusion of free choice.

In fact, what you do depends on what you know. Even when you "throw caution to the wind" and make a big decision on a hunch, the human brain runs two processes, the conscious and the unconscious.

^{The Wishgranter from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl}

These are like applications and services in a computer operating system. If you know how to trigger their programs, you can enable notifications that guide you to opportunity.

We build computer systems to augment our minds. But our brains are excellent computers also.

It is just that the consciousness process is quite narrow. You don't have to think about most of the physical movements you make once you acquire them.

But once, you did.

Now, they are processed by the subconscious.

The Power of Game Theory

Game theory is central to cryptography, military theory, politics and business.

When you approach life as something like one of those games where there is quests, actions and items involved in finding the access to the next level, leveling up, you learn also there is another thing games have: Designers, and they add hints sometimes, but you have to know how to invoke them.

Whether you call it God, the Subconscious Mind, or whatever, there is a vast computer system between your ears that senses all kinds of signals and attempts to find the structure, in causal, geometric and network maps, that can find data even the most incredible supercomputer system could observe with massive amounts of inputs measuring the world cannot, and probably never will.

My analogy of God as a game designer is intended to evoke the understanding that games are interesting, even addictive.

The game world has strict rules, but it only sucks when you don't know them.

Knowledge is Power

So finding knowledge is the root and prerequisite. Knowledge gives "freedom" which is another way of saying, enabling you to make better results from the same ingredients.

Over time, knowledge accretes and sometimes it can be lost but once found, it can be found easier next time because though the evidence just isn't as obvious, the evidence of the previous knowledge is there to be found.

Knowledge comes from asking questions, and questions come from knowledge. Speaking the questions out loud is how you open the terminal to the services running in the background. Later they will return with data usually in the form of noticing something you may have before missed otherwise, had you not put the request into the Subconscious.

God as Game Designer makes happiness and joy possible within the structure, which you find by adapting to it.

It shows the importance of knowledge and the faith in the principle that all the pieces needed to level up are there, if you ask to find them, you will sooner or later notice things that open doors. Hints, even, sometimes.

Sometimes a seeming doom that evaporates suddenly, like a warning, you make a decision and results are overwhelming, and the odds were way against you by most metrics.

The true meaning of Faith

Faith means holding always the assumption that all you will face has a purpose and produces good if you can see it.

Recognising the "big picture" holistic subconscious mind's function as a kind of servant or connection to the underlying code, you can faster find the way to open the door to something.

You would not see this if you didn't remember that it is a game. You wouldn't want to play a game that is regressive, you want to expand, and so if it is a game, then it must be a good one, or you wouldn't be playing.
