The even larger question then becomes: 'Does free will allow randomness?' As I mentioned above, [Randomness = Absence of any order!
Free Will Is always deliberate (and don't let the "Free" fool you). Thus, Randomness would be counter-active to Free Will. The issues are completely disassociated for one allowing another! |

"Defence presentation"? Sorry, but I've nothing to defend! My sharing information -- because your knowledge is stale and outdated -- doesn't make me defending myself: I'm just letting you down easily.
While you've been warming the seat of the couch in front of the TV (or playing chess), the progress has been passing you by! The OLD outdated models you still operate with, have long been discarded! For the past 30 years, research has gone into the uncharted waters -- most members of the post WWII generation have no idea about! (I'm not referring just to the Third EYE...) The major ESP studies has been undertaken at the Princeton University! (by ESP I mean the undiscovered/rediscovered capabilities of human psyche, such as Intuition, Hypnosis, Telepathy, Remote Viewing, etc.) -- under the wing of CIA!!! Major Ed Dames is the world famous Remote Viewing Qualified Professional with over 30 years of remote viewing techniques. His journey with remote viewing began when he served as both trainings and operations officer for the U.S. government’s TOP SECRET psychic espionage. His contribution has been recognized and rewarded by these three following medals during his dedicated service in the U.S. Army. Military is the major driving force behind the research -- that's a sign of the times. Unfortunately, 9/11 would have never happened had the psychic capabilities been taken more seriously! P.S. Bishop to King -- Check-Mate!!! -- works quite well, if the king is cornered and has no escape! |

But of course, everything is pre-ordained! Nevertheless, we prefer fooling ourselves into thinking we have a free will...
In fact, "free" and "will" are antonims! |

Thanx for your help, Creative, however I have a better response to Kings_Knight: Bishop to King -- Check-Mate!!! (LOL)
But seriously, its a bit more involved: Here's an exerpt from John Daniel, Scarlet and the Beast, Vol. III, pp. 6-7, (c)1995) : Why the symbol of the EYE? The symbol of the All-Seeing-EYE, has always been part of Earth's creation mythologies and mysteries. The eye is the observer of reality - or the illusion of reality. What the Serpent promised Adam and Eve, was that their knowledge would be broadened, if they ate of the forbidden fruit... But the most foreboding aspect of this Scripture emerges from the fact, that the Hebrew word for "eyes" is not plural, but singular. Thus, what the Serpent actually told Adam and Eve, was that their "eye" would be broadened by knowledge. The "eye" that is not the physical organ of sight, but the eye of the mind or soul. This singular "eye" is called the "third eye" of clairvoyance in the Hindu religion, the eye of Osiris in Egypt, and the All-Seeing Eye in Freemasonry. The symbol was passed down, through the ancient mystery teachings and and can be found on the American dollar bill. But the human body has another physical eye, whose function has long been recognized by humanity. It is called the 'Third Eye' which in reality, is the cone - shaped Pineal Gland. It is the Spiritual Third Eye, our Inner Vision, and it is considered the Seat of the Soul ( Descartes). It is located in the geometric center of the cranium. The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave, behind and above the pituitary gland, which lies a little behind the root of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle. The true function of this mysterious gland, has long been contemplated by philosophers and Spiritual Adepts. Ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland, to be our connection to the Realms of Thought. This gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various biorhythms of the body.
It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland, which directs the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock, that determines our aging process. * * * While the physiological function of the pineal gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools, have long known, this area in the middle of the brain, to be the connecting link... between the physical and spiritual worlds. ***Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy, available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important, in initiating supernatural powers. Development of Psychic Talents... has been closely associated with this organ of higher vision. The third eye can see beyond the physical… -- it functions as a light receptor and also is considered by some, to be the evolutionary forerunner of the modern eyes. * Retinal research indicates that the eyes have their own built in circadian timepiece. This retinal system, is distinct from the brain’s body clock. However, No one yet knows, what the separate clock is for!!! This gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various biorhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland, which directs the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock, that determines our aging process. When the pineal gland awakens, one feels a pressure at the base of the brain. This pressure will often be experienced, when connecting to higher frequency. * * * A head injury, can also activate the Third Eye - Pineal Gland. * * * Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy, available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important, in initiating supernatural powers. Development of Psychic Talents... has been closely associated with this organ of higher vision. The pineal gland contains a complete map, of the visual field of the eyes, and it plays several significant roles in human functioning. There is a pathway from the retinas to the hypothalamus, called the retinohypothalamic tract. It brings information, about light and dark cycles, to a region of the hypothalamus, called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). From the SCN, nerve impulses travel, via the pineal nerve (sympathetic nervous system) to the pineal gland. These impulses, inhibit the production of melatonin. When these impulses stop (at night, when light no longer stimulates the hypothalamus), pineal inhibition ceases and melatonin is released. The pineal gland, is therefore, a photosensitive organ and an important timekeeper, for the human body. The retinal clock, produces (stimulates the production of?) melatonin. Researchers are now looking for the exact location (s) of this clock, in the human eye, (and expect to find it). No one yet knows, what the separate clock is for, or how it relates to the SCN. In some lower vertebrates, the Epiphysis Cerebri - Pineal Gland, has a well developed eye - like structure; in others, though not organized as an eye, it functions as a light receptor. In lower vertebrates, the pineal gland has an eye like structure and it functions as a light receptor and also is considered by some, to be the evolutionary forerunner of the modern eye. The gland weighs little more than 0.1 gram. The gland is large in children and begins to shrink, with the onset of puberty. (no wonder, some kids display really wonderkind qualities!) However, the gland appears to play a major role in sexual development, hibernation in animals, metabolism, and seasonal breeding. In humans, it affects circadian rhythms, sleep patterns (melatonin levels increase at night) and is implicated in seasonal affective disorder. The abundant melatonin level in children, is believed to inhibit sexual development. When puberty arrives, melatonin production is reduced. At the same time, The pineal gland secretes melatonin, during times of relaxation and visualization. * * * * * * As we are created by electromagnetic energy - and react to EM energy stimuli around us - so does the pineal gland. * * * >>> To activate the 'third eye' and perceive higher dimensions, the pineal gland and the pituitary body, must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation and / or relaxation. When a correct relationship is established between personality, operating through the pituitary body, and the soul, operating through the pineal gland, a magnetic field is created. In the physical body, your eyes look outward - though it views objects upside down. It next sends the message of what it observes... to the brain, which interprets the image and makes it appear right side up to us. The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave, behind and above the pituitary gland, which lies a little behind the root of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle. The true function of this mysterious gland, has long been contemplated by philosophers and Spiritual Adepts.

Located in the retina, this center implies... that the eyes, have their own built in circadian timepiece. This retinal system, is distinct from the brain’s body clock, in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Biologists found, that they could throw the retinal rhythms... out of sync, with other circadian cycles. They also found, that they could set and reset the retinal clock, even when the SCN was destroyed. The retinal clock, produces (stimulates the production of?) melatonin.

As we are created by electromagnetic energy - and react to EM energy stimuli around us - so does the pineal gland. When activated, the pineal gland becomes the line of communication, with the higher planes. The crown chakra, reaches down, until its vortex touches the pineal gland. Prana, or pure energy, is received through this energy center in the head. With Practice, the vibration level of the astral body is raised, allowing it, to separate from the physical. ----->>>To activate the 'third eye' and perceive higher dimensions, the pineal gland and the pituitary body, must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation and / or relaxation. When a correct relationship is established, between personality, operating through the pituitary body, and the soul, operating through the pineal gland, a magnetic field is created. Astral Travel, and other occult abilities, are closely associated with the development of the 'light in the head'. After physical relaxation, concentration upon the pineal gland, is achieved, by staring at a point in the middle of the forehead. Without straining the muscles of the eye, this will activate the pineal gland and the 'third eye'. Beginning with the withdrawal of the senses and the physical consciousness, the consciousness is centered in the region of the pineal gland. The perceptive faculty and the point of realization, are centralized in the area between the middle of the forehead and the pineal gland. The trick is to visualize, very intently, the subtle body... escaping through the trap door of the brain. A "popping sound" may occur at the time separation of the astral body, in the area of the pineal gland. Visualization exercises, are the first step, in directing the energies in our inner systems, to activate the 'third eye'. The magnetic field is created around the pineal gland, by focusing the mind on the midway point, between the pineal gland and the pituitary body. *** The creative imagination visualizes something, and the thought energy of the mind gives life and direction to this form. 'Third eye' development, imagination, and visualization are important ingredients, in many methods to separate from the physical form. Intuition is also achieved, through 'third eye' development. Knowledge and memory of the astral plane, are not registered in full waking consciousness, until the intuition becomes strong enough. Flashes of intuition come, with increasing consistency, as the 'third eye' is activated to a greater degree, through practice. Universal Knowledge... can also be acquired. As human beings continue to evolve, further out of matter, on the journey from spirit to matter... back to spirit, the pineal gland will continue to rise from its state of age - long dormancy, bringing back to humanity... astral capacities and spiritual abilities. At certain brain wave frequencies, a sense of "ego boundary" vanishes. In the "theta" state, we are resting deeply and still conscious, at the threshold of drifting away from or back into conscious awareness. As the brain enters deeper states, our consciousness is less concerned with the physical state, our 'third eye' is active, and separation becomes natural. When our sense of ego and personality are set aside and we keep our mental energy intact, we can become "conscious" of the non-physical, our inner self, the subconscious. P.S. That's why No skulls that show three eye sockets have ever been located!!! |

P.S. People of Previous Civilizations are said to have possessed a third "wisdom" eye! Who knows, may be that has mutated into the yet undiscovered ability -- which we refer to as Intuition? ? ? Have archaeologists discovered any skulls that show three eye sockets yet ... ? I doubt they ever will -- after so many millenia. Yet, there have been found many ancient sketches pointing to such a possibility! (especially in India and various Eastern countries) Besides, a "Wisdom Eye" may not necessarily require a docket |

Indeed. According to the PhysicsWorld.com:

Actually, all argument - yours, mine, his, everybody else's as well - concerning *anything* 'falls apart at the seams'... Please, don't sweep everybody else with your "logical" broom! Nobody else had the audacity of uttering anything as nonesensical (according to James) as the following : Being rational wholly depends upon being reasonable. Being reasonable wholly depends upon being logically possible, according to what is already known. |

Deist, Atheist, For, Against, etc.
The only reason we're stuck at this discussion is because the greater part of Humanity still hasn't discovered the concrete truth! (just as the origin of the Deist phenomenon itself has appeared in an attempt of explaining the UNEXPLAINED -- due to the lack of knowledge). Yet, the general tendency appears to be leaning towards the Atheism -- the less of the Unexplained remains, i.e. the farther we grasp the nature, the less of Deity remains. And the same reffers to the spiritual side of humanity! (as much as we pride ourselves for being "SPIRITUAL BEINGS"...} Eventually, when "the lack" would completely separate from knowledge, there would be no need for such a psychological cratch as Deity! |
