Michael Kowalik, a philosopher on substack, once in an article posited that, or asked if, those who delegate their decisionmaking on important topics to others, thereby giving up agency and use of their conscience, do not strip themselves of their humanity.

The most interesting revelation of omniscience and the omnipotence that arises from it, is the language anyone omnipotent would use.

The point being that with omnipotence, there wouldn't be any limitation of one set of stone tablets restricted to 1 location on the earth.

Hello Dr. Nagase,
So absolutely wonderful to hear from you again.
I hope this writing finds you VERY well and indeed blessed.
Perhaps, no, most assuredly, I am no where near as high a thinker as you, which I find astonishingly interesting; just doin' simple country things in my simple way of life. I am in no way referring to myself as a dolt here, I just like to keep things simple.
The rules, or as I like to call them, the Commandments, of which there are only 10, however, each as deep as the whole, by Omnipotence, whom I like to call "dad" (Abba) or Father, depending on the conversation, did indeed write these on every heart and mind WITH the Freedom of Choice (Free Will) to obey or not. He also wrote them on tablets of stone with His finger, not because folks didn't already know them, but to display His Power symbolically - perhaps to remind them of WHO He actually is. Finger meet Stone - like a knife through butter. One has to remember, back in the time of Moses, there tweren't no internet...or even newspapers for that matter, for messages that needed to 'get out there.'
Random Sidenote: Ain't no way anyone can convince me that 'we' went from walking with Him every morning in the Garden to a bunch of 'cavemen' neanderthals with nary a thought of anything other than "what's in it for me" - the very things captured in the 7 (8) Deadly Sins, while 'we' tried to figure out what "fire" was WHILE learning what 'being human' is, WHILE learning how to frickin' talk. If it ain't logical, it ain't true. Most retarded thing written in "history" ever!
Anyhoo, back to the Free Will, Prophecy and Omnipotence, I would like to simplify this all the way down to parents, learnin' lessons, and wee ones.
Mom: "Don't touch the hot stove hunny, for your own sake. No good can come from it and it will hurt you, like, a LOT!"
Wee one: Looks at mom, looks at stove, looks at mom while touching the stove. Finds out quickly, no good indeed did come from that.
Mom: "Told ya," as she tends to all the things that come after.
Dad: "Son, when not in use, make sure ya take that hitch off the back of your truck. Trust me. One day it'll get cha if ya don't."
Son: "Ok dad." Then promptly forgets to take it off before heading to town to pick up Suzy for the movie date.
Being a chivalrous sort, he runs around the back to open the truck door for her and WHAM, hits his shin on the hitch, instantly remembering dad's warning as he hobbles to let poor Suzy in, trying not, but failing miserably, to show the immense pain he is in.
Lesson learned.
Both wee ones had the freedom of choice to heed mom and/or dad, or not.
Both mom/dad did prophesize the outcomes because they KNEW exactly what would happen.
Their omnipotence, in their world, was in the knowing and the telling.
Our Father is the same, but on a grander, much larger, ALL KNOWING scale.
The Alpha and Omega, I AM THAT I AM, the Creator of ALL things, isn't Omnipotent for control, He's Omnipotent because He KNOWS. He's Omnipotent because He is everywhere all at the same time.
True Prophecies are built on His Word, also because He KNOWS, the ending from the beginning.
We DO have free will to choose His ways, or not. He actually died on the cross for that very thing. Each of us can choose, or unchoose, at any given moment in time. The thing is, God already knows who will and who won't because He KNOWS our hearts, minds, souls, and thoughts better than we ourselves do. He is constantly, daily, minute by minute, encouraging us ALL to choose Him throughout our entire lives, for He knows of the Plans He has for us. WE choose to open the door (our hearts) to let Him in, or slam it shut to feed the 7 (8) Deadly Sins.
Why do so many ignore it? Ignore Him?
Welp, that goes all the way back to the very first war, which was in Heaven, where there was ALSO Free Will.
The Mystery of Iniquity - exactly WHERE did the Pride (all encompassing of the other sins) come from to warrant the CREATED Lucifer (aka Morning Glory) to think he was above the Son of God, God the Father, to the point of trying to usurp God from His own Throne?
AND convince (again, free will) 1/3 of the angels that God's government had tooooo many rules? To wit of course, creating doubt in the minds of other angels.
Don't know...wasn't there.
He did get kicked out though, with the other traitors, to become the Father of ALL deception, whereupon he could run a government his way, thereby BOTH offering proof of which style is better.
And here we are.
LOVE towards all - or "ME" only.
I guess my point is, like a child, to bring it back to simply trusting that the parent knows what's best BECAUSE they Love their child, and the parent has the wisdom to show for it. Children DO look at their parents like Heroes.
(Yup, I know, not all - not the point)
Perhaps, sometimes, the best answers are the simplest ones.
An Occam's Razor kinda thing.
Anyways, dearest DEAREST Friend,
If you've read thus far, Thank You.
Hey, I did say I like to keep things simple, never did say I wasn't long winded about it.
If the omnipotent wrote it in the mind of every being, he would leave nothing to chance, nor to free will, would he?
Maybe someone can be omnipotent and at the same time playful, wanting to observe how the beings fare with the instructions for life. How many and which do heed them, how many and which don't. That was an issue at the times of Sodom and Gomorrha, at the time of the flood (Noah), and it would be an issue when nowadays beings are confronted with newer instructions that clearly run counter to older instructions. How many and which beings adhere to the old instructions, how many and which happily embrace newer instructions?
Strange… The law is written in my heart exactly as the Almighty Lord said he did. I know precisely what I should do according to the law of God, but whether or not I do it is a completely different issue. I have the God given freedom to disobey (and bear the consequence).
You are right. I read Dr Nagase as if he intended it written without freedom to disobey. But you can also read it like you say and of course that is what is the case. A really interesting concept for being that ancient.
The concept of being free to act against a moral imperative. Well, maybe that comes from the New Testament whereas we were referring to the Old Testament before. So, then, a really interesting concept in the context of religions with moral imperatives. Interesting that such a concept appeared in a religion such a long time ago and in an environment where that should have been a novelty.
fear/hate/excess love, (All on the vibration "feel scale" of infinity)... emotions that link us to the actions of the 7 sins.
Forgiving... A emotional response.. At times a weakness.. "A chance:" where one opens up for repeated failure.
ex. Spouse cheats...My opinion.. Everything happens for a reason, best to neutralize ones emotions, act the calmness in ones heart. learn from the experience..move on.
Emotions.. all just part of the "cage system". Taught to think/feel 2D (Lineal) in our 3D world... A slave system.
Sometime I ponder, If this "system" is set up this way. for the "spirit world" to farm our"emotional energies." Be it either "Good or Bad"
Just wondering, if you take the fear as one of the deadliest sins... under wich category you place it? Or would you say there is 8 deadly sins? sloth, wrath, greed, lust envy glutonny and pride.
Also! funny thing, the wahts on your mind segment =) My exs was a demon and she was always asking me this. And now that i think of it its probly in the same order you mentionned of why that question is asked. Get control on the other and work on how they perceives us. That was quite her focus. She's not a macons but she sooo love HPB that its all the same in a way hehe
Fear is a separate 8th sin - a defect in thought that can alter people's perceptions so much that it can cause errors in action called wrongdoings, also called sin.
I really love studying sins and vitrtue, in my mind there is the 3 capital virtue and 4 cardinal one. I also think sins pantheon is similar but as 1 major main sins than can also be the main virtue: ego becoming egaux. Thus it leaves them with 6 demons belzeebub, satan, abaddon, mammon, belphegor and asmodeus.
6 demons under the command of master ligh bearer lucifer. Satan is only the materialistic reflexion and that is why he offered what he offered to jesus in the desert(I know a guy saying jesus and satan are the same, that is something i wish to look into later)
Like me saying the pride of lucifer can also be our biggest virtue. How so? Cause its humility and in Greek time humility was seen as shame. So i say being proud of yourself without overreacting bout it is the central of that virtue that when it goes overboard turn into a deadly sin. Just need equilibrium like all in life.
Lastly the 4 cardinal virtue are like the north east west south (news), they guide human as a bousolle would do when walking path of life. I thus put the 4 in phisical use and the 3 primal in abstract use. Faith hope and charity cant be calculate, while to find justice temperance prudence and resilience are kinda more suited to reaction to phisical realm.
Welp, dunno why but i felt like sharing this to you, seems you put value to sins and virtue and already have your own tought about it. So maybe it can please you or you can correct what i got wrong in my own build up of these fundamentals of a human being.
I always appreciate when you share your wisdom. Feel free to do so 😇⚜️
Control systems take various forms. For human minds, reward / punishment control systems are prevalent in society today. A digital version of systems as old as religion are nothing new, and while difficult to overcome, every system is defeatable.
On the whole an intriguing post, as usual. And I agree with it, for what that's worth. On the other hand this statement caught my eye:
"As I’ve written in previous articles, the dividing line between right and wrong is reason."
I'm not sure that's true. Right and wrong reside on the plane of the spirit, and require a spiritual mind to apprehend it. Animals can't act in a way that could be described as right or wrong: they can't apprehend those qualities, lacking the spiritual mind. Animals can only act sociobiologically. Although this line of thinking depends on what we mean by rationality. Nowadays it's fairly restrictive, being centered on logical reasoning, analysis, the scientific method, construction and interpretation of algorithms, and so on. But I think it was C. S. Lewis who pointed out that in prior centuries rational thought included modes of thinking above the emotional, which would not only apply to our usage of rational, but other, higher modes of thinking as well. At any rate rational thought has seemed to have gone out of fashion in the thinking of most of the population...thanks to the school system, the gov't, the media, and everything else.
Michael Kowalik, a philosopher on substack, once in an article posited that, or asked if, those who delegate their decisionmaking on important topics to others, thereby giving up agency and use of their conscience, do not strip themselves of their humanity.

How this paradigmatically disproves unavoidable "Prophecies" in some religious texts I write about here: https://danielnagase.substack.com/p/prophecy-logical-analysis-and-a-surprise
The language of omnipotence being the source of all words, that is thought and ideas.

From My perspective, Any who choose (irrespective of reason) to break any of the three Laws of Ethics are the Ones beneath the beasts...

where does reason come from?
Some say the mind, but I suspect in equal parts reason also comes from the heart.
For the question : What’s on your mind? I have answered “ What’s it to you?” and then they reveal themselves, usually as complete idiots.
