Predestination is not someone else taking over your will, but it may sometimes involve overriding it, due to those limits or constraints I mentioned above. You do not become a puppet or an automaton, but youA RE guided and goaded in certain directions. Still, in the end, your own choices are yours to make... they just may be nudged in this direction or that as you go along.
Was not talking about manifesting a persons will, but actually want to keep this thread slightly agnostic, going to post some stuff here that will confuse some and upset others. I like the explanation you gave for predestination.
On that note, if anyone has super conservative views, this thread is probably not going to be for you. Quotes I make to whatever deity or references etc. is just because it fits at that moment or brings message across for someone or simply because I liked it.
