Some time through the session the randomly increased one half of the students score. At the end of the session the students starting to get higher scores claimed that they were "getting the hang of it now". Lesson: people claim credit for good results, failure is an orphan, as usual :( An experiment carried out in a us university divided students into two groups, and gave them a computer game to play, but did not tell them what the rules of the game where.

It is God that is creating(or causing) all the patterns we perceive as being strings of causes and affects. But how can one see God? This is covered in the book: WorldMask http://www.amazon.com/Worldmask-Akiva-Tatz/dp/1568710801 I learned and thought about this while studying in a yeshiva in Israel. My take is that these patterns are predictable and can be used to create desired effects - but to see *all* the causes behind an *effect* (which is really another cause) is too hard to master totally.
