Experience is the observer and the observed in the present moment continually .

I hear the sound of the sea . Am I the sea, am I the observer or am I both ?

The car makes a noise , my ears detect the sound , my brain interprets the information , what I am is all of these things .

I have a good idea what I am . I know that free will does not exist , I know that experience is the observer and the observed in the present moment continually . What is it that I don't know ?

I do not know how these things fit together .

Tom, its not what I see, its what I read in the Bible, a book that has no error in it. Thats not according to me, it fact, plain and simple.

The Bible explains that we sinned, and thus where separated from God. At that point, there was not purpose for our existence, but God chose to send His Son to die for us. If we accept His gift, our life regains meaning, because we are again close to God. Those who refuse will suffer the punishement for their sin. This is not threatening you, (or anyone else) its simply stating the fact. (if you will, warning you) But god also gives us the choice to chose what we want.

In the 'spirit' of: "It's better to teach a man, how-to-fish; Than to give him a 'fish' every day, for the rest of his Life"; My previous 'mapping' contribution, {the quote, that is}; Was discovered and accessed under: Google-images/ 'Life quotes about poker' {typed in}. ..there's a 'ton' of them there; Well, maybe more like, 'a third-of-a-ton'! .. ha!

I once read, {possibly by author/'psychic' "Sylvia Browne"?}; That God created us; So he could vicariously ..{or 'once removed'}; Experience, the 'Joy of Learning'.. {Anything!} -- Being that, it would otherwise be impossible, for a {supernatural} entity, that's, Omniscient {!}
