Through the Looking Glass
Rodge, as I said in my first post in response in this thread, I'm not interested in arguing with you. Every question I've asked you've responded to as though it were an argument. None of them were. I really am trying to find out what you consider to be your message for the "spiritually undernourished" (and what that even means). For example, you keep asking for me to argue against "free will." I have no desire to do so. I just wanted to read what you mean by the term (it has many meanings).
I take it that this is all there is to your message?
So people should revel in their "self-awareness," and reject materialistic determinism? And then they'll be spiritually fulfilled? Is that all there is to your message?

"1) Considering that most of the universe is scattered atoms and inanimate objects, it is amazing and wonderful that you are able to experience the richness of human self-awareneess. It's an everyday miracle!
"2) You did not cause yourself to be a human, rather than an ant or a dust cloud. It's a gift!
"3) At the center of your self-awareness is free will, which may be influenced by outside forces but, by definition, is ultimately under your control. Spirituality is that part of your reality that exists in harmony with the physical world but is apart from the physical world, not pre-determined by physical law.
