Welcome to Willed Induction

wíldín-dúk'shən: An act of will that sets in motion some course of events.

An act of will is an exertion of effort by the mind. An exertion of effort is a by-product of human freedom, free will or human endeavoring. Exertions of effort produce energy. Since we know that matter is frozen energy (E=MC²), when a free agent acts freely, or exercises his free will, he produces a small amount of energy and freezes it into the form of matter.

If you start the universe with the logos (mind) of a conscious self (God) and consciousness is the fundamental entity of the universe, then you have no problem explaining the existence of matter. Attempting to start the universe with matter is impossible, as matter cannot emerge ex-nihilo, or out of nothing. However, it is perfectly consistent with Einstein's theory to say that a mind exists first and that matter comes from a mind.

Starting the universe with a conscious self also makes it easier to explain the existence of other conscious selves.  As human beings, we know from a first person perspective that we act freely everyday.  We have received this amazing gift from God - the gift of endeavoring - the ability to interact with the physical world He created. What we set in motion everyday when we discuss our worldview with our kids, our family, friends, neighbors or co-workers is of greater importance than we think. When we express the content of our thoughts into a material sentence, the impact can last generations.

But how can we do this right without the proper worldview?

Willed Induction provides practical evidence that will help you build and support an intelligible worldview.  What we say does impact the world.  Having a grounded worldview is more important than whether the bills will get paid this month, who we will marry or whether cancer has started eating at us. It answers the more important questions in life: whether there is a soul, what it is, is there a life after death, what is the Creator like, whether human beings are more than physical objects, why evolution theory fails and consciousness is not material and so on.

Enjoy and feel free to comment!
