Mojave, were you perhaps intending to use the word " profound " in your post above, since I cannot find " prefound " in my dictionary :-) I wonder, who created this " creator " you speak of? Infinite realms seem to imply, that there can never be an end to " questioning ", since the possibilities appear to be " endless ". In regards to the interaction of other forms of " inter universe " life, with humans, my life experience has not provided for any examples of this. One of my hotsprings friends from the past, does send me regular e-mails, which he purports to be communications, between various humans, who are in cooperation with people, " not of this earth ", about the plans of an intervention of some capacity, with humanity, to aid them in coping with thier travails, so that they ( humans ) will find a path of " light ", as is stated in many of these communications. I am in no position to vouch for the validity of this notion. I do think it should be likely, in our universe of seemingly boundless size, that there would be other forms of complex organized matter, in such structure that we would refer to them as " life forms ", that could likely be prowling about the cosmos. To speak of those possibilities however, would be mere conjecture on my part. Some of these entities, could very well be so alien to our normal experience, in form, essence, size, or in another possible dimension, that we would not even reckognize them according to our limited abilities to perceive, as Carbon Based life forms. Regarding Free Will, and whether or not it has been a gift from a " higher power ", is not something I can see finding an ultimate answer to, for myself. A world with no absolutes, would seemingly imply, a world with no absolute answers. As I pass the time, through the days, the character of this apparent, forward movement of experience, does " appear ", to provide for the possibilities of optional paths, as chosen by my essence. But in thinking of the deeper workings of matter, and energy, probability requires that I give accounting to the possibility, that notion of Free Will, could be merely a complex illusion. Now with this said, my life is " perceived by me", much like the rest of yours, in that we act in the world, as if the path we choose, is decided by our unique selves. It is the nature of our experience, but I do consider it a possibility too, that a reality, " where we have no free will ", could provide for the same result, even though we don't reckognize it as such. Never realizing that the Mirage, Is Us. All of this swimming, in the various realms of philosphy, the edges of human understanding, is just part of my choosen path, or destiny, and I find it keenly interesting, to sense how awarness changes, as time ( another infinitely complex notion ), greets me, and leaves me, as Infinity, flows around, and though me :-)
