For those who have not yet heard of this famous query; "Does God Play Dice?", it was coined by Albert Einstein during his studies in theoretical physics. A poignant and potent query, to be sure, it has burned through the minds of philosophers and religionists ever since. Being without definate answer to the satisfaction of the main collective consciousness of today, it remains a personal evaluation and determination on the larger human scale of intellect. But there are those of us who have come to their difinitive conclusions via cosmic consciousness and flash insights. The soul has no clear rules nor boundaries, so going beyond the "norm" of a collective is no more a risk than changing your diet to vegetarianism for the observable and verifiable benefits it brings to your state of health, regardless of the dismay in a company of meat eaters. Having said that, my personal take on this famous query is "Yes, God Plays Dice."
Einstein had good reason for asking this question. To be front and honest about it, it seems to me that God not only takes gambles but makes mistakes as well. In fact, you might even say that things can get out of control now and then for God due to his gambling habit. If you like, you can go to the Rethink section of my webzine and get an idea of what questions physicists are currently addressing on the BigThink page to more adequetly reference the stark nature of reality in their particular sciences before you continue to read this article, to rather "set the mood" for this reflection'. Further it will help to note that the so called "separation of religion and science" is completely thrown out here for the plain idiocracy of any such possible notion. One can not separate their religion from anything, nor can one separate their science from anything, both are inherant of each other per "their" own existence and can not be torn apart.
The problem here has always been the thwarted definition of "religion" to begin with. The word "religion" comes from the word "religio" which means "conscientiousness". The word "conscientiousness" means "painstakingly done with care according to conscience". The word "conscience" comes from "Old French", from latin "conscientia" and further comes from the word "conscious" and was combined by the words "knowledge and consciousness", from conscīre, " to know". So there is the origins of the word "religion".
So how the word "religion" came to later mean in a general and common sense "a belief in, a worship of, or an obedience to
a supernatural power or powers considered to be divine or to have control of human destiny" is a bit of a warping of the original concept. This is as it is commonly described today while all along truly meaning merely someones' opinion and reaction to those opinions with a need to gather support and congregation from others about "knowledge and consciousness". Here this job of convincing others comes into play as "religious" duty. Remember the original meaning of the word "religion" is "conscientiousness". A "religion" then, is a personal and often private take on reality and knowledge and is a magistrate for personal inner navigation of existence, shared or unshared. "Religion" as the original "conscience" of "conscientiousness" or driver of such is individually known and felt, not collectively like clones of the same soul. Understand that no one has ever agreed that "reality" is exactly the same for everyone and "conscience" is obviously not the same expeiriential inner guide for all that people want to believe that it is on a group level. It simply isn't. It never has been and THIS is evident.
Belief in an all perfect higher entity that orchestrates perfect reality in a valued human consciousness of ever changing rules is ludicris when you take a brief look around the world. Perhaps accepting the antecdotal rule that humans can not know the mind of God is the safer suffice after all and will do more to halt these incredulous thwartings and postulations of God by the minds of disfunctional and hysterical humans. So, there is the offense. I said it. The nonqualitative reactions to this statement only support the claim that "religion" is a thwarted concept in today's world, knowing what we now know. The man has grown and no longer fits the clothes of his ignorant youth. Throw them out and dress properly. Be angry if you must, but DO wear clothes that fit. Please.

Once the splintered pieces of the inherant whole are reassembled it will become obvious, by observation and experimentation, that God not only plays dice, but has liberal dice to begin with and plays within a set of his own rules called "chance within limits". These "limits" are up for a certain specualtion at the moment for they may not be limits set BY God, but by limits set ON God. The "limits" themselves, however are observable and testable. If you are properly dressed, we may attend God in his game and gather insight into the truer nature of reality that challenges the rules of your own gameplay of existence in this world as well. What becomes the focus of fascination about this God of physics, of religion and science, of humans and nature is that there may not be only one God, but rather one set of limits in the God games. One has to stretch the mind to a larger coherency of reality before one can justify the limits of God and the limits on God with any credibility. This is the first requirement for peace of conscience at all. After reading all or any of this, I offer solace as an invitiation to reread this line anytime and everytime you are disturbed deeply by this "religion of science", "God is as accountable in my conscience, as I am". . . . Because, this is where it is all going, anyway.
I tell you, from my experiencs, from my research, from my spiritual allottment, from my highest insight, from my deepest intuition, from my "conscience" and even from my constultations with the teachings of the highest masters of greatest renown on the nature of reality, that I know that God plays dice and that humanity was a throw of that dice. I may not know in detail everything that surrounds that "knowing" but I DO know that I have found more and more scientific support of this early premise coming to the forefront of this worldly reality all the time and in faster and greater amounts.
So, in this "religion of science" there is still great room for everyones "opinions" and relative "conscience" and experiences. Paradoxically, the answer could be "yes and no". One could easily claim that God does not play dice, because he is limited by rules of engagement and therefore is held to hard and fast rules that guarentee a destiny boundary and controlled outcomes. One could just as easily claim that God does play dice and has taken chances and thrown guesses and even made seeming errors and goofs within a protective seal, a "bubble", exempt and not subjected to the usual hard fast rules. The "free space" or "bubble" ensures a relatively safe "chance" playing board for him to experiment and play upon without disrupting the rest of his creations or the creations of others in the larger Cosmos. Yes, a "controlled" experiment as it is termed in the sciences. It is used all the time to control rules of the experiements performed in science and even becomes evident as "common" in particle physics. Particle physics displays a number of controlled experiments where chance and gambling take place regularly. Particle behavior runs on probabilities and potentialities "chances" within limit controls. THAT is the true nature of reality. "Chances".

So, where does this leave us? Well, that's a whole other story that has just as much chance and limits as everything we have discussed in this article, and is not mine to tell. Remember, "God is as accountable in my conscience as I am" and in that I am not off the hook either and have taken my chances and have my limits and have made my errors and have wrestled with my probabilities and potentialities of such an incarnation or an existence on this planet on my own level as well!
I am NOT one of those who believe they are here in this world, as god awful as it is, without my consent or against my will. I am one of those who knows that I chose to be here, I chose. God may be responsible for the creation of these rickit embodiments, these babbling brains, the consciousness constructs of current reality that we are all limited to, the evolutionary grids, the animals and what have you. He may well also be responsible for the autrocities and gore, the inconsistency and purely "bad design" of much of this physical world here by his own choices and errors, if that is what they are, but he is not responsible for me. I am. But again, that's another story. The question here was this, "Does God play dice?" I stated that he does and that particle physics and progressing scientific knowledge as well as "conscience" supports this answer when you delve deep enough into it to get difinitive answers. That's the key.

And if you do not see this world and all the people in it, all of them, the controllers and the beggars and the gifted and the unfortunate as a "game" albiet a pitiful one, then look again. Look hard and long in higher panoramic vision and tell me what you see. Take your time. Be objective. This God creation game is more than likely much bigger than this little planet and it's inhabitants. Humanity and planet Earth has every fabric construct of some sort of multidimensional cosmic gameboard as we understand games to be. Personally, I believe that it also illustrates that things have gone quite badly in God's "Earth" game. All of this investigation is time consuming and overwhelming with detailed trivia and is only important if you want difinitive answers, real answers. For ages on, it has been said that life is a dream, an awake dream. I add further that it strongly resembles a game, a "dangerous" game and the game is on, fast and furious and has been for a very long time. The players are nearly evident, the reasons are supposed, but the gameboard is surely apparent to open eyes.
It is a very messed up world for any gentle soul and is truly no "Eden" planet for the delicate of heart. This alone is obvious and a blatant and stark starting point for analysis of God and the subsequent surmise is not good so accept it and move on. I believe you chose to be here all the same as I have. You must have a reason even if it is only to wittness, to watch, to observe, to learn, to know. I have learned to take responsibility for myself in ALL things in this world for no one else is responsible for me, this is no different.
So . . . I have taken the responsibility of putting the science of reality back into the religio of self sentitence. I put the broken pieces we have fragmented with disfunctional perspective back together. I have replaced the dimensional and holographic nature back into the whole of matter and substance to comprehend the whole picture again. And if you are not an organic emote artificial intelligence program, following directives from mass programming, then you will see it too. There is nothing to "convince" once you have undertaken this first requirement of personal power. It's obvious.
The redundancy of repeating this primary knowedge as "yourself the master programmer and yourself as the avatar under that programming" in a simulated reality is or is not worth another mention here? You decide. What I personally value as a mention is that things CAN go wrong and there are MANY players in this game. The struggle of "programming verses programming" is what leaps to the forefront of perspective to the problem of self control. It's a game. It has rules of engagement. It has wins and losses. Choose your opponant as you will, however you see it. But it is a game, all the same.
. . . and this is about how it goes.

I will leave you with this;
The power on the gameboard, is neither the Pawn, the Knight, the Bishop, nor the King and Queen, the power is the hand that moves the players on the board.
Be the power in your own game and foget about God. God is playing dice and has his own troubles right now and is not responsible for yours.
