GOD AND THE GAMER

Research published today reveals that players of the online game Foldit were able to accomplish in a few weeks what had stumped scientists for years; the findings have the potential to lead to significant developments in designing drugs to fight AIDS.

The Cabala teaches, Revealed light requires a structured attenuation; since the first revelation of Creation is the beginning of logic, called Chochma/Power of What – the power to question. We expect nature to be logical, but from where does the structure arise?

Beyond revelation is Will, the hidden intention of the the Creator in making creation. The scientists take apart the components of nature in search of a clue that would allow them access to change the configuration; the gamer needs to understand the pattern to win.

Winning is the ultimate stimulation for both God and the gamer; For God, winner is being acknowledged by the human being who possesses free will but is stuck in nature – the ultimate game. For the gamer, winning is about being victorious over structure and confine.

Forever, man has been trying to outsmart nature – turning lead into gold, defying gravity or using medicine to cheat death. The scientist sees the substance while the gamer sees in the structure, the game that God is playing with creation to be known.
