Dallas inquires: 


On this subject.	FREEDOM OF CHOICE


Is it not more important to know precisely (as a basis for understanding
one-another)


1.	Where does the faculty of "Free-choice" arise?

DTB	Is it a thought, a feeling, or a matter of Being -- which arises in
the Individual sense of I AM I ? 


2.	What force has any personal opinion have?

DTB	Is an opinion supportable? If so how best to support it?


Best wishes,

Dallas

Both are true. The word 'may' is the keypoint. I got the impression from
your posts that one can see future 'perfectly' without any 'mays', so that
there would be no room for probabilities at all.


-----The word may is truely the keypoint and quite important. I was
attempting to give a scenerio where one "may" know. 

>From the base concept that one may know, there can be an expansion of "how"
one may know. First one would have to accept that one may know before
proceeding to the how. 

Your point of the parent's knowing the children, giving the parent an
insight to knowing a choice, is also a base key to a fuller understanding of
the "how". 

This base key can be expounded upon, bringing forth a deeper and more in
depth understanding of the "how". There are three keys to the how of
knowing. 

You have observed one of them. 

None of the "hows" negate free choice.-----
