i cant agree with this, god gave us free will, if we were all in some state of constant possession , our actions being controled by god , our existence would be meaningless , i am an individual and at the same time a part of a single life force to which all life is a part , and i am responsible to do gods will and how i choose to do that is entirely up to me , as i walk this path i hopefully draw near to my destination and purpose , when this purpose is fulfilled my life will be cut short and i will be given my reward , or i will continue to struggle and fruitfulnessly mingle -with my own frustrations -clinging to me as an echo throughout eternity .
