A mysterious thing about “dice determinism” appears to be this: no matter how much a higher consciousness might be intuited to have intervened by using "loaded dice" at a local level, one who prefers to believe in mechanical reductionism need only jump to include a larger portion of space-time in order to “show,” ad infinitum, that what appeared to have been psi (or miraculous) was “merely an anomaly” within an ever greater randomness. Perhaps the odds that Higher Consciousness will consciously attune to any anecdotal location within space-time remain “random.” QUESTION: Does belief in a higher consciousness necessarily remain a matter of “objective” choice in placing the burden of proof---at least, in relation to humanity's presently unconscious level of appreciation of collective consciousness?
