Predestination? Free will? I don't know. I can argue either side, but these days I'm leaning toward an odd combination of the two, which doesn't make sense except if there is no actual 'Time' to plot your behavior, and how your decisions play out in a 'future' that doesn't exist.

The best I can say is, that if time is an illusion, we've "done" whatever we're going to "do". Whatever choice we would make (free will), we've made (predestination).

On the other hand, that being the case, and since our consciousness and awareness usually only works in the jungles of space and time, the question is meaningless, and demands a perspective of timelessness. And, from that perspective the question is moot. To me, it doesn't actually require a lot of thought, and also very little energy.

Because our thoughts, those bits (pun intended) of bioelectric, biochemical processes that we use to describe our material world and to narrate our experience, are always lagging behind what is actually happening. That we attempt to understand our Universe and our place in it through cogitation is a perceptual illusion.

One we live with, because outside the illusion of time and space, our material thoughts, our 'minds', our bodies exist only as parts of a whole concealed from us.

This consciousness is everything. It is, basically, indivisible, and seeing it as 'other' is the Prime Illusion.

Sorry for the long, stoned-sounding soliloquy. This is my version of Seinfeld's show 'about nothing'.

Diet Comment

Five Quest bars yesterday. That's just being lazy. However, all five together have around 850 calories, so most of the food calories that maintained my weight was from fat. There were a little excess carbs from some Ezekiel sprouted-grain toast, and I think without that one (later-night) contribution, might have lost a little, but maintaining? Good.
