Ain't gonna argue, not today anyway. And not about sin, original or otherwise. Idealism, can it be practical, what balances it?

In my understanding of metaphysical arrangements, the integration of left and right brain are necessary to achieve certain results which include at times the ability to flow in time, allowing for the understanding of patterns and potentials, from which future trends and even events can be perceived. And as in all such things, a small manipulative energy may move a lever. So you can not only choose time and path wisely, you can influence it. There are other rules though, like consequence, not easily avoided for that involves the paths and desires of many other souls, conscious and unconscious.
