when you think, that you think, you just think, that you think. so you better know who, what, where, when or whatevers you are, instead of just thinking that. it makes a difference and apparently many factions, institutions and individuals want to and actually do try to exploit peoples' vulnerabilities which is clearly their minds. many are just weak and very fragile, which makes them easy targets. maybe it's not that easy to see through it all, especially if your "operating system" doesn't entirely work in your favor.
it is true we just experience and from a certain perspective, we do indeed not interact. you'd have to draw the line of separation, to distinguish the interactors, which is ultimately illusion, as separation is one of the basic functionalities of the phenomenum called mind in the first place. so we perceive with our minds, as well, as it connects that what we call "we" or "me" or just "ego" with our perception(s). so, basically the mind is like a powerful tool, just like the brain...
moreover i think everything is always and forever predetermined. there is a difference however, in the degree of consciousness, in which we might be aware of predetermination or even be co-creators of otherwise "unaccounted for" decisions. it has to be like this, because it is the path to free will, that is basically open to every living being. anyway, from this perspective we would have no choice anyway, yet the awareness of this could open new and interesting possilibities..
the solution is to only live in the now and be the choice maker, rather than the choice being made... you just have to avoid thinking too much about past and future or you'll be living more and more in il-lusion or de-lusion...
we are life... and we are the natural infinity expressing in the infinite nature of the universe... stop your thoughts and notice how your perception of time makes a shift...
