I think we all tend to be slightly neurotic on this blog--and I hope no one will take that as an insult either; I too mean just the opposite.(Hurly: Just as a joke, I was thinking of posting instead, "Hurly; Do not further insult me by saying it was not one; you will be hearing from my attorney shortly. .

I will continue to believe I have free will but wonder sometimes if some things are predestined - sooooo sitting on the fence! Do you think the virgin life is the one in which you have total free will, you are the map maker? Subsequent returns are already mapped out but the daemon , as part of you, can help make free will changes to the original script? Too simplistic do you think?<BR/>Thanks for the clarification Karl, my name is based partly on my full name and partly because is sounds a little like the Joharji window: 1.known to self, known to others, 2.known to self, unknown to others, 3.unknown to self , known to others, 4.unknown to self, unknown to others. It's weird that I have always liked the personality laid out like this as the unknown to self unknown to others is basically the daemon isn't it. Any way the very circuitous point is that I like the logical way you've laid out the options! *phew*<BR/><BR/>Susan Marie, you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge, your are so well read and present your points and observations so well and lucidly. It's always a pleasure reading your comments, I usually spend the next half an hour looking up your references! I'm really learning a lot from you guys!

IF there is Reincarnation, (I am still undecided) then is one reborn with the whole *kit and caboodle* (sorry Karl to steal your Asterisks!!!) in each Life....i.e. if you are supposed to be learning a Karmic Lesson i.e. not to be a bully or a frightened person, then are you born with the thought processes etc that make things difficult and that you have to overcome, Oh I am not explaining myself too well!!!for example.... you have been a bully for some lives, so you would have to be reborn with a mind set of the victim perhaps??? It is either an extremely complex intertangle (is this a word??) of the most intricate design or it is all a random floating mess!!!
