[QUOTE="Jonaitis, post: 77081978, member: 416033"] I don't buy the "testing grounds" idea. It sounds like something a Muslim would say. God created this present life full of opposites and shades in between for our enjoyment. This is not to say that we can be immoral and unruly, but that these realities gives virtue and discipline meaning. Having the ability of choice and the flow-state, in my opinion, are meant for each other. I think what you are wanting is not freedom from choice, but freedom from the idea that you are enslaved by choice. This flow-state is what Christ intended to purchase for us at the cross. He removed our guilt, which enslaved us to the regret of our past; and secures our standing before the judgement in His righteousness, which frees us from the worry of the future. All this shows that Christ wants us to live in the flow with pious delight in God. It is truly the way we were meant to live. [/QUOTE]
