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 538 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 582 Views

Bwah ha ha! Dirty minds think alike! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 08/02/2011 03:41:30 PM 479 Views
That actually seems cosmically plausible - but I really hope this is not the case RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 03:27:29 PM 1175 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 1052 Views
This. There's a reason one of his archetypes is the Fisher King. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 07:00:05 PM 543 Views
The issue is that the Fisher King story is about the Land, not the People RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 08:02:24 PM 960 Views
A good example Kieran - 08/02/2011 08:27:44 PM 990 Views
None of this is contradicted by what I have posited entyti - 08/02/2011 09:16:48 PM 897 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 1039 Views
Yes, those are the rules in chess... entyti - 10/02/2011 05:34:25 AM 955 Views
The Fisher King is not a messianic myth. Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 10:07:44 PM 1019 Views
Fisher King title and legends are connected to the Messianic mythos RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 09:47:14 PM 1210 Views
The disciples, not Jesus, were the "fishers of men." EDITED. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 10:08:24 PM 869 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 866 Views

I'm exhausted, so I may be misremembering. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 09:27:18 AM 983 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 931 Views
What depresses me... entyti - 09/02/2011 11:23:13 PM 859 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 982 Views
I didn't mean to hijack it - other replies did RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/02/2011 02:51:35 PM 940 Views
It is of little consequence entyti - 10/02/2011 05:36:40 PM 906 Views
Relax homeboy. It was a joke. *NM* Velveti - 10/02/2011 02:07:55 AM 513 Views
