Some random thoughts I recorded in my little work notebook today:

Free Will = Perception of intrinsic potentialities + Sense of dynamic and organic extrinsic movement (time/space) + Power of individual consciousness + Trust in spiritual/suprasensory instinct

Chardin defines consciousness as not just reflection but the understanding that we can reflect.

If the universe is made of potentials, then does the universe destroy and rebuild itself from moment to moment?

The human brain develops intelligence through perception and experience "teaching" which neurons fire and which die. Is the universe like some brain where all the neurons fire or just in which no neurons truly die?

(don't even ask me where this next one came from. I was just THAT bored.)
If God farted, would everyone smell it?

Some cultures believe that the mad are holy because they must be closer to God. The unknowable spoken through the generally incomprensible. Then sometimes, you can mistake someone talking on a hands-free rig for a cellular phone for someone mentally unstable talking to the voices in their heads. What is the mad are simply going hands-free on the line with God?

Absolutism is the tyranny of rationalized conceit.
