Do you think you are in control of your life or merely a spectator? Has psychosis influenced your belief in free will? Do you believe in fate: that you control how to do things but the result is predetermined?

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |

We are in charge of writing our own stories, of making things happen for us. We hold the pen, we just need to begin taking charge of what we write, and not act as if the pen is the one that is in charge.

It's complicated. I do believe in predestination, but I also believe in free will.

I believe in the power of prayer.
So yes. In ways I think we can control future. But then there's Gods will. Which is supposed to be the answer when prayers don't go the way we want.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
