Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 Mortivan, I " had to " answer you. Heh,heh. " No Free Will " is an just an assertion, an assumption taken on by those who understand this matter as an advanced practice, not unlike the practice of " submission " , or " not my will, but thine " . It is hardly a demonstrated fact, not at least to those of us who aren't devotees of Balsekar. Believe otherwise if it has value for you, But to state baldly as a " fact " that there is no free will is to run up against the personal experience of all of us, and to insult the very motivation of our participation here. yours in the Bonds, Eric Get personalized email addresses from Mail http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 Well, the " motivation " is illusory, so how could it have been insulted? There is no personal experience either, so nothing has been run up against. AND, there is no one participating, therefore, no participation. -mort Nisargadatta, eric blackstead <eblack101> wrote: > Mortivan, > > I " had to " answer you.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 On a more " down-to-earth " level, it honestly is much more than an assertion or assumption to me: it is an understanding as obvious to me as your understanding that ice is cold and boiling water is hot. -mort Nisargadatta, eric blackstead <eblack101> wrote: > Mortivan, > > I " had to " answer you.
