If instinctual choices are made based on past experiences then am I solely responsible for my reality? Comment by golf golf. My response would be NO! If any of...
Don, It is interesting how much the closed picture of the probabilistic/deterministic universe rules our thoughts. Even IF...THEN expression of static logic...
The more one Realizes (of Being in God), the more humility and freedom one attains. The tennis ball has very little freedom as to where it moves, the plant...
"jim", As you obviously know, Libet found that to "deliberately" flex a finger - requires a brain activity of 0.8 seconds (readiness potential). We become ...
Damir, several additional sources of "Will" ("Energy employed for a goal") have been noted by some to exist, including: Deity; one's higher Self; and, in the...
"jim", We already had an example how our divisions might be useful - but this should not blind us from seeing one in another. Your previous reply appears to...
The only free will we have is to "veto" our act - resulting in a halting and stammering performance. This is an interesting comment. Does this imply that my...
And yet - we do have free will - but it is something quite different from "free will" derived from our closed picture of probabilistic/deterministic universe. ...
MessageDon, No. Have a look at my page on Cause & Effect. Generally - I replaced causality with tuning. From my previous post - (Here we can speak only about...
Causality as energy effort, as drawing nigh to God, or as pouring a glass of water, is a universal, transcendent reality. Once this is understood, the second...
MessageDon, Creating our "own reality from scratch" implies much more - starting with the beginning of life long time ago and maybe even before. Generally...
Generally speaking, however, we could say that our "reality" is formed by our genetic makeup, cultural "imprint" (including environment) and the whole range of...
Damir says: Consequently - our "choices" are not predetermined in the cause & effect terms, but rather emerge (more or less) in tune with our environment and ...

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction- sequel to this a series of reactions result in changes in physical and psychlogical arrangements....
MessageDon, Thinking in "absolutes" and "outside of the system" does not help here. In such way of thinking contradictions are a rule and we do not have a "way...
MessageDon, This article "'Mindsight' could explain sixth sense" in New Scientist might also help. It shows quite clearly how we might be "peeking" through...
Damir says: * Our genes and our cultural "imprint", as I call it, (and everything in between) form our "reality" (description of the worlds and ourselves...
MessageDon, I couldn't work out which of my words might imply absolutes - but rest assured - none is intended. I understand difficulties some might have for...

"He who stores evil in his heart cannot see beauty." Hazrat Inayat Khan. E-veil, or energy-veil, is a precise function of soul-sense deviation from Living...
Damir: Thanks for your explanation. I certainly agree that we humans are unable to discern all the cause and effect relationships within our Universe. So all...
MessageDon, What if our neat, "calculable" cause & effect principle is "wrong"? It is also product of our perception that also can be deceiving. If we "are...
It is unlikely for cause-and-effect to be self sufficient. Cause-and- effect implies formalism and literalism. These are needed for an overt empirical knowing...
Steven, We both have a suggestion and I guess that both of us would like our own to be accepted. So - lets them be accepted on their own merit. Sincerely, ...
