RE: [asa] Two questions... (bottlenecking)

I've often flown over large cities at night and was in awe at how beautiful
they are and how large they are and how many people are awake at any one
time with their minds churning away. I've tried to imagine what it would be
like to be simultaneously aware of all those people and all those thoughts.

Then multiply that times all the cities of the world, and all the cities(?)
that might exist in the entire cosmos. Then project those people and
thoughts out into the invisible, unfathomable future, and it seems to me
quite impossible for an external mind to have that ability. An internal
mind might stand a better chance.

The whole of history is seen at a glance by God---everything is an Eternal
Now. That is why God knows what we are going to do tomorrow for He saw us do
it already.

Maybe what God wrote was an ensemble of possible related paths and
the specific path was the result of the possibilities that He
envisioned and the choices the person made.
