If we have no free will, does that mean that these "disencarnate entities" who are teaching the Law of Attraction are lying to us? Why would they do that?

And if you cannot will events into happening, then why is it that many, including myself, find the Law of Attraction works - you can manipulate circumstances to turn out exactly as you envision or affirm them.

Which is true: Predeterminism or the Law of Attraction?

[dvorahji]

You are "free" to believe whatever U want. HOWEVER, if U ask me-"disencarnate entities", Jesus Christ Or Ms.Piggy are all great concepts to be enjoyed

You are kidding yourself if you think you can manipulate circumstances ALL THE TIME. CAN YOU? NO chance. Sometimes you can & sometimes you can't (no matter how hard you try).

Do an experiment, keep trying to manipulate life YOUR way & see what happens ok? First control an itch, a thought, a sneeze, a friends reaction, ur boss- does it work?

[dianicdreams]

Mere suffering exists, no sufferer is found;

The deed is, but no doer of the deed is there;

Nirvana is, but not the man that enters it;

The Path is, but no traveller on it is seen.

Now do you see why this does not mean there is no free will?

[dvorahji]

Darling if there is no doer, who is it that has free will?

[donlarsennn]

because there are no individuals there can be no-doer. but, isn't beyond that? isn't man, like all objects, an idea. verbs are therefore nouns. there is action. all happens spontaniously.

You're wonderful Dvorahji!

Thank you for sharing!

[dianicdreams]

Yes, but in the end it doesn't come down to opinion, does it? :-)

Kill the Buddha.

Find out for yourself.

[dvorahji]

I can only talk about what I know...To me LIFE IS A HAPPENING...and there's is only the APPEARANCE of choice...but in essense NONE...and I am a Happening...

[dianicdreams]

What I speak of here is the key thing what sets spirituality apart from materialism.

Unlike materalism, in spirituality, the whole is not the sum of its parts.
