| | Enterzone: Free Thinking |
 | | This is where free will came in to my metaphorical resolution of this ancient problem: I imagined I was personally free to choose any path I wished, unhampered, un-"pushed," if you will. |
 | | And I think we are all -- humans, rocks, elephants, stars, and all -- connected somehow with or a part of that intelligence, that mind, perhaps in the sense that Spinoza meant or in the sense of a universal collective consciousness. |
 | | Maybe free will itself exists like an updated version of those "snaky" vortices of Descartes, wriggling unseen and undetectable between and among the other, observable, detectable stuff of the universe, lending its own kind of elusive substance to the rest of life. |
