SOURCE: The Bible, New International Version, Psalm 23, abbreviated version
/////////////////////////The powerful imagery of God as a shepherd predates Psalm 23, which is believed to have been composed approximately 3,000 years ago and can be traced back to the time of ancient Babylon. In the text known as the Code of Hammurabi, which was etched into a black rock pillar—a stele—that stood in the center of Hammurabi’s city 700 years before the time of David, the 282 rules of conduct given by the Mesopotamian king conclude with the ancient metaphor of the shepherd, stating: “I am the shepherd who brings well-being and abundant prosperity; my rule is just . . . so that the strong might not oppress the weak, and that even the orphan and the widow might be treated with justice.” Clearly, the feeling that we are watched over, and cared for, has held a revered place in the human psyche.

///////////////////////Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories. — ROGER C. SCHANK, COGNITIVE SCIENTIST
////////////////////We are a species of stories. We tell ourselves stories for a simple reason —because stories work. Novelist Scott Turow summed up this fact beautifully when he asked, “Who are we . . . but the stories we tell about ourselves, particularly if we accept them?” Our stories help us to make sense of the world, and what we see happening in it. They also help us learn important life lessons and heal life’s hurts. Through our stories we also preserve what we learn in a way that can be easily passed to our children and future generations.
/////////////////////B PARABLE OF POISON ARROW
What am I? How am I? Am I? Am I not? Did I exist in the past? Did I not exist in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? Having been what, did I become what in the past? Shall I exist in future? Shall I not exist in future? What shall I be in future? How shall I be in future? Having been what, shall I become what in future? Whence came this person? Whither will he go? When Buddha is pressed to respond to the monk’s query, he does so by stating that it is a waste of time to ponder these esoteric questions. The Parable of the Poison Arrow is Buddha’s way of illustrating why he feels the way he does and the reasoning underlying his answer. In the book Zen Keys, Buddhist scholar Thich Nhat Hanh shares this version of the Poison Arrow parable: Suppose a man is struck by a poisoned arrow and the doctor wishes to take out the arrow immediately. Suppose the man does not want the arrow removed until he knows who shot it, his age, his parents, and why he shot it. What would happen? If he were to wait until all these questions have been answered, the man might die first.

//////////////////////PSYD People with this personality type have higher crystallised intelligence.
Being open to experience is a sign of high intelligence, research reveals.
/////////////////////Modern science suggests that free will is a uniquely human experience.
To the best of our knowledge, no other form of life on earth has the ability
to ponder the options available to them in a given moment—to ask “What
if?” when it comes to considering the implications of their options—and
then to choose an option based upon what they’ve considered. Clearly, our
power of choice is a significant characteristic of our humanness. It’s also
the key to our highest levels of mastery
//////////////////////FREE WILLY
According to one scientific perspective, we really don’t have any free
will at all. Proponents of this school of thought base their opinion on the
evidence for the big bang being the origin of the universe. Because all
matter was initially connected in a moment of singularity, and the
expansion that began with this singularity continues today, then the actions
and interaction of all matter in the universe are determined by the events set
into motion in a fraction of a second after the big bang, they say. We only
appear to have free will because there are so many possibilities available to
us in any given moment that we’ll probably never run out of choices, and to
us, the choices feel like they’re infinite.
Another school of scientific thought suggests that rather than living in a
deterministic and ordered universe that was set into motion at the instant of
its creation, we live in a chaotic universe. From this perspective, there is no
universal order and our choices are truly random and infinite within the
context of the laws of physics that govern our physical world.
