  Thanks for the replies, everyone. I guess what I need to do is just focus on what comes to me naturally. I'll still try to hold onto my computer interest, but if it gets to the point where I can't even make posts like these without getting all worked up about predestination, then I'll at least take a serious break for a while...
  
  "I like to talk about math, and math 'ideas' as long as you're talking about theories, like physics, it's all good, as soon as you actually get into numbers and equations, and such, I'm miserable." - Katt
  
  I was once interested in studying the mathematics behind basic rigid-body physics so that I could possibly write my own physics simulation engine for a game idea that I have. I realize that there are libraries already available to use, but I think it would be an interesting challenge for me to take on that sort of thing myself...it would give my left brain a nice workout, LOL. :-P
  
  The main reason why I got so discouraged from it is because I've started going through all this crud about predestination and free will. I keep thinking of how those physics apply to the human brain, and how it kind of precludes free will, since the mathematics behind those physics are fairly absolute (AFAIK). I think what I need to do, if I ever want to seriously get back to doing what I like to do, is simply put it out of my mind while I'm doing it. It's not easy, though: whenever I see some kind of algorithm or equation that looks like it could be applied to human behavior in any way, I start panicking and going into an endless chain of drawing analogies between computer algorithms and human behavior. Trust me, it's not a fun place to be, especially if you really seem to know what it all implies...
  
  Anyways, I think I'll just try to "go with the flow", as it were. If it turns out that I don't really like computers anymore, then I suppose that'll be something I'll have to deal with. I do have a genuine fascination with technology, though...maybe I should try exploring fields other than computers.

  I believe it is atainable to be working with the brain as a whole without having to switch from one side to another or to live with just one predominant side working. Would your brain structure change if you would teach yourself to write with your left hand? What if from tomorow on you would do everything with your left hand, would you than be in more balance? I think you would. I had one night while asleep in Sweden a interesting thing happening to me, i got a headache that woke me up just when i woke up i heard and felt this cracking noise in the midlle of my head. At first i got scared but later on that day the universal knowledge started to pour into me. This was the first day i started to get information without break 24/7, I started reading like crazy to keep up chekking everyhting that came to me. I believe at that point my brain worked as One. There was no more left and right,no more masculine or feminine...everything made sense. So i would say yes to your question it is a posibility.

  So basicly u ask: can u be a computer scientist(logical) and spiritual at the same time? I think the answer is yes. I love computers, and Im very logical, too logical sometimes. There is one thing that proves this easily: I cant draw or paint, looks like a 3 years old made it. But i love spiritual things and more interested in them than computers, so i hope im going to the other side now.
  Thanks for the post! LOVE!

  hmmmm i think maybe part of the journey is to find a balance between the logical mind and the spirit.....the fact that we have use of both hemispheres i think proves that we can have balance......though we may favor logic over spirit or vice versa doesn't necessarily mean we need to give up the things we love in order to find balance, however if this is what your higher self (conscious) is telling you to do then it may be something to consider, never the less you certainly can't dismiss the logical side of the brain, its my understanding that the logical side or left brain works in such a way as to take in all the information of the physical world around us and make it understandable, without it we'd be lost in a physical world, a maze of time and distance..........atleast thats my take on it brother
