This painting reflects a stage in life
where the player faces the consequenc
-
es of their actions, settling “karmic
debts.” It marks a moment of recogniz
-
ing past mistakes and beginning to
understand the invisible rules governing
reality — the laws of karma and
cause-and-effect connections.
Despite this, the player continues to
unconsciously sow karmic seeds, not yet
fully grasping their power. At this stage,
they only start to suspect its existence.
These unseen rules operate regardless
of awareness, determining how our
actions impact ourselves and others.
Here lies the foundation for realizing
one’s responsibility for every choice and
action, which shapes the further course
of the game.
In this painting, we see a figure in a
dreamlike state, continuing to sow
ceramic seeds. These seeds will later
sprout into “positive” or “negative”
events in their life.
