      (Do try to speak plainly. It makes the conversation run more smoothly.)

      Yes, a system of laws made by humans. But that system is itself not human. Any more than a car or a toothbrush.

      The important difference is that a system of laws is dumb, blind, gameable and breakable. A human, much less so.

        Dictators are both the main beneficiary of the system of laws and its promoters, because they ARE the law.

        Gameable I like that.

        But the universe is gameable, the formation of governing is a play in the game, as are reactions outside of governing. The game is the universe.

        Life is chaos, God is the universe and “the game” is manipulating God. Being one with God is not playing the game but accepting chaos and flowing and growing with it, with the faith. All other action are done out of fear and lack of faith.
