Dear Stephen,
you had a good point asking about knowing the future and predestination.
However, knowing the future leaves enough room for making decisions doing
this or that. We are not under the yoke of predestination. Cittas and
cetasikas perform their functions according to conditions.
Robert gave here a link, and I hope it can be of help to you. It is from
message 2, but I do not know you get this without logging in.
Nina.
