    : Re: Morphic fields
    If an organism is at a certain size scale, it must do certain things because
    of the way the world is. These, as you say, are constants, as much a
    property of the universe as a vortex round a plughole, therefore outside the
    realms of which you speak. If he's 'branched out' into MR, which I'm not
    sure that he has, then that's a pity.

    Hi Chris,

    This may sound as a daft question, but are you talking about Goodwin
    here or about people in general !?
    If it would be the last, would that than mean, in a sense, that we humans
    have no free will due that we must do certain things because of the way
    the world is !?
    Morphic realm or not, if structures whatever they may be are constants
    that would undermine our understanding of free will, not !?

    Best,

    Kenneth
