Greetings,

I've been thinking about what Krimel wrote here.  I like to play this 
game.  I thought this description really quite beautiful.  It can't 
be taken seriously though, it is play, it is Lila.  But this game 
also seems contrary to all the literature on the Tao, Buddhism, 
etc.  Maybe I'm missing something, but that seems silly.  How can 
anything be excluded?

Anybody have any thoughts?
