| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Free Will |
 | | Objects or events viewed merely as possible, God is said to apprehend by simple intelligence (simplex intelligentia). |
 | | In the series of customary acts which fill up our day, such as rising, meals, study, work, etc., probably the large majority are merely "spontaneous" and are proximately determined by their antecedents, according to the combined force of character and motive. |
 | | There is nothing to arouse special volition, or call for interference with the natural current, so the stream of consciousness flows smoothly along the channel of least resistance. |
