“I was brought up to believe in free will. Although I came to doubt all revelation, I can never accept the idea that the Universe is a physical or chemical accident, a result of blind evolution. Even though I learned to recognize the lies, the clichés and the idolatries of the human mind, I still cling to some truths which I think all of us might accept some day.” ThinkingMindBelieveHumansStillsI CanIdeasMightLyingUniverseResultsAcceptingDoubtEvolutionBlindAccidentsRevelationsFree WillHuman MindChemicalsIdolatry Book:Aspects of I.B.

“If God thinks this state of war in the universe is a price worth paying for free will--that is, for making a live world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings--then we may take it it is worth paying.” IfsThinkingWorldMayWarRealStatesHappensMovingUniverseCan DoCreaturesImportanceHarmStringsFree WillToys Book:The Complete C.

“I think we have a free will, and at the same moment we don't. We have to live with that. It doesn't make sense intellectually, but that's because our intellect is always trying to come up with a logical, rational explanation for things. To do that, it puts labels on things. But once you label something, you've got twoness. You've got the label, and you've got what you're labeling. And there is only oneness in the universe, even though we artificially believe in twoness.” ThinkingTryingBelieveMomentsUniverseCome UpIntellectRationalOnenessLabelsMake SenseExplanationThings To DoLogicalFree WillAlways TryingLabeling Author:Wayne Dyer
