Of course, friend.

Lets say, you want to buy a car.

And you can only buy them in black, because Henry Ford says thats the only color he wants to make fords in.

You have freewill to choose the car.

But your ability to create the choices to select from are limited and determined by predetermination.

So you have complete freedom to choose the available options.


But not freedom to create the choices.

The choices are served by your time line.

I would love to hear what you think about this clarification. Let me know if you need further clarification.

Thank you.

 Quoting: Razrin


Give me an example where "high achievers" have solved one.

Besides, what constitutes a high achiever anyway. One would say that a man who accumulates lots of money is one yet to a another, growing a nice vege garden might be a high achievement. A guru living in a cave who owns nothing might be another.

Who is wise enough to pass judgement? You?

Re: Free will
Lets say hypothetically life is completely predetermined, but you still have freewill.

All life really is, is the predetermined serving of choices that always lead you down the path of a predetermined fixed time line.

Would you still want to live in a system designed like this?

Where you have freedom to do what you want & have everything you want, without having the freedom to create choices.

Would you be disappointed that you do not have free control over the ability to create choices in life? Only the freedom to exercise your freewill?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

as today,I was happy
yesterday I influenced reality successfully and made Romania beat France with 34-31
but today,a group of small children crossed my path
i was heavy with some courses and waited impatiently for them to pass
they were so slow...
and finally thier teacher said"why cant they wait?"
so,the answer is,Razrin:
too bad that you're not Atlantean
too bad that you do not understand freedom
for everyone does what they want to do
with responsability towards themselves
or with a lack of

Re: Free will
wELL....let consider for a moment....that we came here to go to school......soo......think of the school of life like a MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ THAT YOU TAKE while your going to school.......there's 1 correct answer but you might have chosen the wrong answer....and missed that on the test....but guess what.....at the final exam of the year in that subject....the same question is on the test and now you know the correct answer ...so you get it right.....and IT'S GRADUATION TIME.

Re: Free will
No, I wouldn't want to live on a planet where I couldn't create some of the choices (but if I did, I'd probably adapt..)
I think we get to choose wrong, technically, but God gives us more chances, and transforms the mistakes into part of the plan. If you give Him the power over your will, He can work unemcumbered to enlighten you..

Re: Free will
WE actually live in a world similar to the one you describe, we have limited choices.

I believe it comes down to the parameters of purpose. The will is free as long as it acts within the purpose to which it was created.

We have many choices but they are limited to the scope of what we are here to achieve.

For instance I do not really have the choice to get up tomorrow morning and decide "I want to be a puppy dog today" this is not a choice given to me as a Human being in this time frame. I might dream of being a puppy dog, act like a puppy dog, meditate on what being a puppy dog is like, but I will not truly become a puppy dog. My choices must come form certain parameters.

Re: Free will
Your so close Calamity.

Are we really that important that some super being has time to micro-manage our little lives, the millions of lives upon this one planet?

Would it not stand to reason in order to do so inside each one of us is this "God" you speak of?

"I think we get to choose wrong, technically, but You give Yourself more chances, and transform the mistakes into part of the plan. If you give Yourself the power over your will, You can work unemcumbered to enlighten You.."

Now this to me seems to make some sort of sense of this sorry mess.

We may look back on it one day and thank ourselves for going through it ;)

PS:Like "The Insider" said I think once we work out or are allowed or are "told" or "feel" were we actually are, in what state, what is this planet, etc we will be there.
