I forget exactly why this one was never published (other than it obviously being incomplete.) There aren’t any answers, just questions. I thought I would post the questions today and maybe follow up with some answers (or ideas about answers rather) later this week. It may seem that with all the interdependent arising going on with all the karmic influences everywhere there is not really any room for an individual to make his or her own choices. How does the whole ‘free will’ business play into this projection of the universe? Can we really make a decision, or is everything predetermined?

An xline is too bounded. A plane is not enough; no, it must be all. But all we can really percieve is the point. On a related note, I disagreed with John's comment over on my blog <a href="http://anonymous-julie.blogspot.com/2006/08/what-god-do-you-believe-in.html" rel="nofollow">recently,</a> because it was too small.

There's nothing inside, nothing outside. And you are THAT. Not part of that, but THAT. Point sounds too small.
