do i really choose

Sugar420 · 01-14-2006, 03:08 PM

do i really choose my attitude?
my outlook, my worldview?
is it my imaginary world that i live in, or am i mannifesting my own reality?

or is it that i am conditioned and programmed and brainwashed by society and culture and brain chemistry or some other factor that "i" dont get to "choose"

either way, you know what i say?

give thanx and praises!

Could it be both?

When you say 'choose' is the concept of time in its definition? Something could have been chosen to occur in our 'life prior to it'. I have started to think that the only difference between freewill and destiny maybe this concept of time.

I think it's a bit of both too, however ultimately it's all up to you.

I recommed the book Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson (ya know the Illuminati guy), it's fun to think about what really is, really.

i believe that JAH has a set course for all of us in life... we do not choose how we want to be, as much as some of us think we do... every little thing that happens in our lives happens for whatever reason, and they change how we percieve others, and the world around us. we may think that we have control over these things, but there is no I deciding here.

The fact you can sit back and ask that is proof you make it what you want it to be. Highest exercise of free will you can exercise is asking "Do I have Free Will?"

Think about it.

Don't be concerned. You can never "choose' incorrectly.

this is true... everything is how it's supposed to be... no matter how you "choose", if you can "choose".

Do you choose for your car to go 65mph when it's already going 65mph? Do you decide, or do you set the ball rolling for certain actions to take place. You set up the arena and your scenarios are played out on the grand scale according to the puppeteer behind the controls of the brain.

Exactly.. time is an important concept in the definition of choice.

People need to start thinking 4th dimensionally. Everyone I've been talking to recently has been talking in static terms. I need to study more english to pin-point where people's down falls are though. I think people need to use more future perfect tense. I've be coinciding with those definitions recently.
