    I disagree.

     Since he came from a state of bliss, he knew what he was doing, and
desired to play the game of chase that he could never win.

     There is the bliss to no bliss.

     No, it was fair chosen..

     He may have DEVISED errors in judgement and then engaged upon them
in order to cement his stay in the material world lest he wake up too
early, the more he can blame, the longer he can stay here.

     The material world and its suffering is HAVINGNESS to the being.

     Yes, true, wrong judgements keep him here, but this does not deny
that he designed the wrong judgements to do so.

     Yes to remember that what he learned that lead him downward was
wrong, and to unlearn it all.

     Native state beings do not carry around with them lessons learned
to make sure they stay in native state.

     Learning lessons is chasing mass to weigh one down.

     For how is one going to 'remember' those lessons "lest it all happen
again?"

     IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AGAIN by design.

     High appreciation for ludicrous demise.

     The guy had to invent it all the way down to the bottom.

     "Let's see now, how can I go lower and stay there?"

     The best way he ever designed was the creation of the idea that he
had to struggle to learn lessons which he must never forget to make sure
descending into materiality never happens again.

     Seek the 'must never happen again', and you will find where the
being is most nuts on learning lessons.
