Sometimes the game itself transcends logic and seems to tap into another realm, suggesting a transpersonal consciousness at work. The following results from playing the game with Zen practitioner and haiku poet Christopher Herold give a glimpse into the more beautiful side of Surrealism, something Andre Breton called The Marvelous.

I asked Christopher 11 pointed questions, and he answered them, unseen:

What is the past?
          The taste of spring water at 12,000 feet

Where is the map?
          A brick path’s geometry of moss

What is the mind of God?
          The emptiness inside a mirrored ball

What is truth?
          This worn out pair of shoes

How do you know you’ve really made it?
          The scent of a pine forest on a hot afternoon

What is the one dream?
          Bagpipes skirling through a foggy dawn

What is kindness?
          The receding tide depositing driftwood on the shore

Where is the nearest exit?
          Linear time compressing as death approaches

What will happen when two snowflakes are exactly alike?
          Children’s laughter

How can I avoid suffering?
          Discovering and letting go of our attachments.

What is deep thinking?
          Nothing . . . in particular
