we are all contributing authors in the story that is life. We are writing this story for God. We are his characters.
but he has given us the freedom to choose to a certain extent our own destiny.
What kind of story will you write?

This certain extent.
What are the limits of the extent?

don't kill your main character unless they really deserve it.
respect the source of your ideas.
be creative! God already has enough war movies.
be destructive! lack of conflict makes for a pretty boring story!
Be funny! God loves to laugh!
Be yourself, and realize that you aren't perfect, but strive to be as perfect as you can.

I'm asking you what is the extent of control we have over our destiny. You have not answered my question.
How much can we control our own destiny? And at one point must one give up the desire to control, and how will one know when one reaches this point? I'm not asking you for your opinion on how to live my life.

if we imagine president Bush becoming as compassionate (especially in policy) as the Dalai Lama.... will God allow this?
Maybe if everyone imagined it. I think we need to wear optimist hats if we want the future to go anwyhere that we actually want it to go.... but sometimes the pessimist hat teaches us that things aren't how they should be in the first place... just that we are so revolted that we get stuck.
I think lots of things though.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Once you give up the power to control, you will have the power to truly create. And you can always control your own creation. Look within. You have everything you need right there.

I think Frankenstein was a joint project.
