Free Will Exists & the Soul/Body Dichotomy & the Morality of the Ego

[atlashead]

The soul/body dichotomy, that u never will know whether the afterlife, god, free will, exist but the act of telling yourself in the silent sanctuary of your mind and the effort of telling yourself that u don't know-that u know you will never know- is the act of integrity of the ego's free will.

That feeling can't be  and should not be totally denied.  The only thing we can say is the notion of god promoted by the major religions   is a cartoon,  not to be taken or believed in absolutely.   We don't live long enough  to determine by observation that the universe is a well designed entity,  but the manifest order we do observe might not be a transient coincidence.   It is a sign of our intelligence that we are in a state of suspense and not quite certain about what we think we do know.   Is it a mystery?  Or is it a  problem (to be solved logically)?

I am an Old Guy now (over 80 years old and still in good health physically and mentally).  When I was a Younger Guy I was so sure of many things that I am not so sure of now.  Am I going senile?  Or am I  getting in tune  with the Deep Stuff of the Universe?  I don't know.  All I know for sure is that I end my sentences with question marks more frequently these days,  than I used to.
