[Sethomas]

My slogan for a couple of months was "The sensation of time is not the active deliberation of thoughts and actions but rather the passive discovery of those thoughts and actions one was predisposed to make." I thought it was catchy.

So, yeah, I often found myself thinking outside of my body, wondering as a distant observer what the hell the chemicals in Seth's head would make him do next. There have been pleasant and dire surprises. Things became simpler when I resumed belief in the soul, but I was then challeneged to rationalize conscious will in terms of Coeternalism. I had an explanation held in abstraction in my head that was good enough for me, but Spinster pointed out the drastic need for me to articulate this matter. So I wrote two sentences tonight in the FAQ on my computer and decided that I won't look at it again at least until tomorrow after class.

“The reductionist worldview is chilling and impersonal. It has to be accepted as it is, not because we like it, but because that is the way the world works." - Steven Weinberg.

This is why I'm so passionate about my theory. Either accept that the soul is Coeternal with God, or ethics and emotion go down the shitter.
