I disagree; though. On a macro scale, it could simply be the case that certain people will always act in certain ways, so its' not a question of their lack of freedom, but the fact that they are pre-destined to make certain decisions. In that interpretation, it could actually be said that the Pattern is made up of all the variations that mortal people would choose, with the parallel universes farther away from the main choices and outcomes being less real.

Yeah, that seems logical, funny to see rand bite himself in the ass :p *NM* Kieran - 08/02/2011 06:31:44 AM 447 Views
I want to reply and say that's not exactly how I picture it, but I don't want to be dirty. *NM* Deadsy - 08/02/2011 06:50:17 AM 496 Views
there once was a man from nantucket? *NM* nigelgoboom - 08/02/2011 07:18:47 AM 415 Views
Bwah ha ha! Dirty minds think alike! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 08/02/2011 03:41:30 PM 399 Views
That actually seems cosmically plausible - but I really hope this is not the case RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 03:27:29 PM 961 Views
But that has always been the case. I am astounded that it isn't recognized more often... Shannow - 08/02/2011 03:58:24 PM 841 Views
This. There's a reason one of his archetypes is the Fisher King. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 07:00:05 PM 456 Views
The issue is that the Fisher King story is about the Land, not the People RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 08:02:24 PM 767 Views
A good example Kieran - 08/02/2011 08:27:44 PM 794 Views
None of this is contradicted by what I have posited entyti - 08/02/2011 09:16:48 PM 714 Views
But the chess analogy is what I'm seeing - the Dragon is necessary in degree not in total. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 02:42:15 PM 824 Views
Yes, those are the rules in chess... entyti - 10/02/2011 05:34:25 AM 732 Views
The Fisher King is not a messianic myth. Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 10:07:44 PM 835 Views
Fisher King title and legends are connected to the Messianic mythos RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 09:47:14 PM 984 Views
The disciples, not Jesus, were the "fishers of men." EDITED. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 10:08:24 PM 677 Views
Yeah, you're right about the fish - I was reaching (and typed too fast to think) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/02/2011 05:30:29 PM 630 Views

I'm exhausted, so I may be misremembering. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 09:27:18 AM 771 Views
That was Tam. Gher - 09/02/2011 05:09:45 PM 814 Views

Seems to me that you're confused. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 08:27:06 PM 622 Views

The amount of elitism on this board would be depressing if it weren't so damned funny. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 09:18:13 PM 709 Views
What depresses me... entyti - 09/02/2011 11:23:13 PM 664 Views
I, personally, like it. It makes sense for the Dragon to be an incarnation of the Serpent. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 11:39:28 PM 765 Views
I didn't mean to hijack it - other replies did RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/02/2011 02:51:35 PM 730 Views
It is of little consequence entyti - 10/02/2011 05:36:40 PM 706 Views
Relax homeboy. It was a joke. *NM* Velveti - 10/02/2011 02:07:55 AM 429 Views
