Your chess metaphor is rather confusing but i like the analogy of a religious world view leaving us as unimportant chess pieces which cannot do anything but follow the masters guidelines. I do not wish to be a pawn and so if this was the case I guess I would strive to grow limbs and spontaneously acquire a gun to top myself off in order to escape the board. Unfortunately their is then the afterlife which would be harder again to escape. You see why I'm confused?
As usual I am left feeling happy and utterly relieved that there is no God in control of/ surveying my every move.
Its not the letters that matter, its the thoughts. Its not what someone says as much as what they mean. imo. And the metaphor isn't some elaborate plan i put together to have crazy meanings, it was just a thought i had that i thought was funny. but i kinda disagree. if you want to play chess and move pieces yourself, you must also accept being moved.
here's a cool quote it goes good with... maybe u have heard it already, its from zen and the art of poker by larry w phillips, good read. "An ancient said: "the mind turns in accord with all situations; this turning is truly mysterious" the master said: "Recognizing your nature in accord with the flow means that if you want, you take; and if you are slapped, just be slapped. If you follow the flow in this manner, the mind will turn in accord with all situations"
