According to the beliefs of this system, you are born into a 'good' family (read this as upper caste family) or in a family of lower merit (the lower castes) depending on your Karma (the net of your virtues and vices in your previous birth)-- basically, this allowed the traditional elite, the upper castes to control the vast hordes by keeping a hold over functions involving learning and thinking as well as finance thru' the centuries. I'm guessing that the traditional elite in the west may have 'cliques' and the like, with similar but less overt and less severe exclusion of others-- most certainly, you wont find religious sanction for such a scheme in the west, with its tradition of liberal thought!

Is it a win win? Do they accept " a foreigner" in their specific world?how much should I pay and what about my ROI? the basic idea”hidden game” is very intersting because it opens the door to: specific languages? secrets? magic power?initiation and so on.

I spoke about the fact that the only ones that can deal effectively with the game and not become soul-less or become someone they are not is to be an empty vessel that walks the earth and is able to play without being affected. frankly, the idea of playing the players and not the game in order to preserve oneself is a strange concept to me. I do not see the difference. I wish I could transcribe my original thoughts... i wrote my response in the wrong spot and i apologize for that.
