Yes, I get about the same sense as this Slim, sometimes it is strong and sometimes I’m ignoring it and playing games opposed it, or those games are playing me for a spell, but I agree its more or less as you state, a 100% inside job either way it is played: to resolution and simplicity or to un-resolution and complexity of various degrees.
So we know this and still tend towards not knowing it, which is of course the basis of all the games : ) I suppose the question is, what we really want to know, is whether its possible to play these games and enjoy them and begin to release the detriment inherent in the process of experimenting with games play, knowing that always in games is the danger of causing the detriment again, because that is where it originates from in the first place, detriment is error in games. This is the great shock and fear of game playing being: will I get lost yet again in my own dream of myself and loose myself? Probably yes, but ultimately no, I know its not possible to be endlessly lost yet I can make a good go at it seeming to be. Realising this resolves the inverse compulsions of wanting to end games and dreams and so on, which is as much a reaction as the original compulsion to play, bouncing back and forth between those is quite a game in itself! So I suspect it is possible to play without detriment, ultimately, if we can give up addiction to certain games, but we also may not get there in this go, and then we might, as when else? And of course who else? Staring at eternity and knowing you’re the one and you’re doing it to yourself, from all angles and perspectives, and that even a dumbass human ape mind is no hiding place or excuse at all, nor to blame for anything, that is quite something to explore, TROM helps encourage such exploration.
