019 Chance or Not
Do you have your seatbelt fastened and ready for launch? Got your thinking cap on? Let’s drop a marble and view what happens when it chooses which way to go.
First, take a board and equally space some nails in a triangular fashion each row exactly offset from the previous row. See Picture Below
At the bottom we will have some channels that are going to collect some marbles as we drop them from the top of the triangle.
Raise the board with the nails and channels so that a marble will roll down the board, hitting nails on its descent into a channel below.
The marbles will eventually fall into a specific channel and collect vertically. See Picture Below
As each marble descends it meets a nail and goes to the left or right, independently of any other marble, and falls to the next level and once again goes left or right randomly. The result is that each marble moves to the left or right at each row and ends up at the bottom and into a specific channel.
This simulation is called the “Galton Board Simulation” and can be found on the internet in many forms.

With enough marbles dropping, the distinct ‘Standard Distribution’ curve will appear. Every time. Stop the marble dropping, resume the next hour or days later, and the curve will appear again. Always!
This fact of large distribution is also called the “Bell Curve” because of its shape.
================
• We all make choices, all the time. Is it possible that many people, making choices regarding similar topics, form the ‘standard distribution’?
• How can each marble, randomly, ‘know’ where to go to end up in the proper place in the distribution curve?
• The next time you ‘think’ you are making a decision, could it be that your ‘decision’ is actually part of a larger invisible scenario?
• To be part of something bigger than one is aware of, and at the same time independently make a choice, quickly puts you in the “monkey in the middle game”.
• Just ‘Being’ provides a safe space for dilemmas like this.
