I haven't been posting much to you this morning, but in trying to clarify my thoughts of free will, I keep thinking about one of your favorite concepts -- resonance. When I stop to think about what I am doing and why -- particularly in complex situations -- I feel like I am seeking a resonance with the situation. It has little to do with logic or language. It is more a sense of seeking harmony.

Now here's the fun part: After finding something that feels harmonious, logic come in to judge and edit the "solution". In particularly difficult situations, where every solution has strong negatives, logic has a clarifying power that can override "if it feels good, do it".

Thank you so much for your post!

That is very, very interesting and thought provoking! I have always looked at the implications of resonance on cosmology, biology, etc. - but had not considered it as a factor of the mind. Very interesting indeed. I'm off to contemplate the idea. Thank you!
