 an unpredictable way but still harmonic in the unfolding of the totality of the moment.
So, perhaps we should adjust our language to something that conveys independence and yet completely integration in the totality of the flow, free of predictability yet not willful as a separate entity and always in harmony with causality. Moreover, divine providence is not something set in motion at the beginning of time by a willful creator, rather it is a continuously moving culmination of everything that has happened prior to what is happening right now. Whatever the unpredictable insertion into this moment or anything, it plays as dynamic role influencing not only what occurs in this moment, but overflowing into every moment that follows. Thus providence is always fluid and always changing.
There are no individual aspects of any moment that are not entirely engaged in the divine providence of that moment, even though the moment remains unpredictable. In essence, the idea and definition of what is an “individual” must be revisited to include the integration of all the parts into the sum total of the flow of Now. In this context, there are no individual, per se, everything and every action is a vital aspect of the integrated whole. Despite what may appear to be an independent thought or action by any of the parts is never the case when we expand our Awareness to include the totality all the parts in a single, indivisible wholeness.
Thus, in this context, what was previously understood to be “free will,” the independent action of an individual, must now be recognized as a potential of the wholeness to include all activities, even those that seem disharmonious, but in fact when viewed from a wider perspective are exactly what was “needed” by the wholeness in that moment.
This does not mean that so-called “pre-determination” is the driving force, for that too suggests a separation and duality. This idea is eliminated when we move away from our fixation on time, and enter the realm of flow without past or future. Without time, there is no “pre” nor is there any future for “determination.” Everything happens just as it happens, without a exterior force moving it.
The elimination of an “exterior force,” however, does not preclude the mathematics of universal principles that continue to be discovered. In this, the God-ing process revels, so to speak, for the “secrets” of the universe become revealed as our consciousness continues to expand. Our “free”dom is our ability to freely reflect upon these phenomena of “spontaneity,” “the natural organization of chaos” and the emergence of orderliness without a separate organizer or controller for it all happens from the bottom up, from each sub-atomic particle in this entire universe. All of this is the God-ing process, not the top-down, but the bottom up, which is the essential free will, or better to say, the Beyond Free Will and Beyond Determinism,” to the ultimate, most refined essence that is the foundation upon which everything rests—the principles of Attraction and Adaptation..I find it interesting how some people (and I don’t know if this is just “some people” or “almost all people except for me”) put things on the internet that they are intending only for their own private use. Like, someone will start a blog, and use it just to write things that they intend to keep to themselves. They don’t intend on sharing it with anyone. They’re just using the internet because it’s convenient.
There are tools that you can use on a private computer that are not on the internet, and are intrinsically secure. Not completely secure of course. Someone could, somehow, get into your computer and get your files. But certainly more secure than a blog, where anyone who has the internet address, or anyone who can search for it, or anyone who can find it through links to your site will be able to look at it! And your security is one purely of obscurity!
I suppose it keeps it… backed up? I mean, it’s going to be hard to loose it… I suppose. Uh… if it’s on the internet. Certainly it’s going to be harder to loose it than if you have it on a floppy disk somewhere. But it’s so foreign to me, this strange idea that you would use the internet for something completely private. And, I’ve used the internet for things that are mostly private. But I put them on a section of my website that’s, first off, labeled “private”. It’s Perifarlblibleh! I can’t even say it! It’s difficult to say. It’s a tongue twister. Peripheralarbor.com/pictures/private! And then I’ve got directory browsing turned off so you can’t just go in there and poke around and see what’s in there. You have to know the exact name of the file. And I don’t name my files sequentially… you know. I take some precautions so that people won’t see these things unless I give them a link.
And to not look around at the other options for cataloging things? ‘Cause you can have time stamped documents. You can have text editors! I mean, you don’t need a full… Maybe it’s just the experience of feeling that their own private life warrants an entire website? Maybe that’s a pleasing experience? I… Its… That… If so, that seems kind of delusional to me, but I mean, people delude themselves all the time about all kinds of things, so that’s not surprising.
Aah, yeah, I don’t know.
So here’s something we should do! (I don’t know if we do this already (“we” as a culture, or as people who talk to people) but) Considering schedules and the difficulty of meeting people face to face, and the difficulty of… well, I guess that’s it. Oh! And the difficulty of asking the right questions in an interview! If you’re going to interview someone, it’s very difficult to ask the right questions.
And so, I’m sure (and I’ve never done this, but I’m sure) there’s a whole art to asking the right questions and researching the person beforehand so you can tell what kind of questions they’ll have interesting answers to… but that just seems like a whole lot of work.
A whole lot of unnecessary work.
So, the interviewer has some set of questions that they are interested in the person answering… otherwise they wouldn’t be interviewing them. So that person (the interviewer) should just record those questions. As if they’re interviewing them in person.
“So, what’s your biggest accomplishment in blah blah blah blah blah.” Something along this nature, or whatever it is you’re trying to ask. You’re going to ask a leading question. You’re going to want them to respond in some length, but not too much length.
But fortunately, we have the capability now of editing stuff very very easily! It’s just super easy to edit audio together. So, what you can do is you can have an asynchronous interview where you ask all these questions. You send the stuff to the person you’re interviewing. Have them record the answers that they give. And then, you can go back and change your questions to really, just perfectly match the answers that they give! And it will sound fantastic! It’ll sound like they are super smart! It’ll sound like you’re super smart! It won’t waste the audience’s time! It’ll be great!
So I think, definitely, we should do this. Asynchronous interviews.
If you want me to interview you, I will do this for you. And if you ever want to interview me, do this for me!
So, this has several advantages. One of which is that then you don’t have to arrange your schedules to match up! You can have your questions all recorded. You can send them off to the person you’re going to interview. The person can take their dear sweet time with it! (Now, of course, this means that they might never get around to it, but then again, if their time is that valuable, maybe you should pay them more or something.) And then when they can get around to it, they answer your questions, send ’em back, then you can edit them at your leisure.
It doesn’t require that you have a good day when you’re interviewing them. It doesn’t require they have, like, a good breakfast the morning that they have the interview, they’re not going to be flustered. They’re going to pick the time that they want to answer the questions. They’re going to do it in a calm collected manner… I hope! Or, whatever manner they want to answer the questions in! They’re going to be able to choose when to deal with your interview, instead of you, kind of, barging in on their life, and making them deal with your interview whenever’s convenient for you AND them.
So, I think it would be much more convenient. It would help people to have better ability to ask and answer questions. You might be concerned that editing the questions afterword is not… I don’t know. I don’t really care about “journalistic integrity.” All I care about is that the thing that the person is trying to communicate is accurately conveyed. And if that’s better conveyed by changing the questions afterword so that they lead in better or they flow better… or changing the order of things… cutting out things they say that don’t make sense. As long as it conveys what they were trying to
