A new type of definition for compatibilism of freewill and eternalism.
To debate religion or religious philosophy theology is to debate free will.
Religion comes from the altered state.
The no-free-will experience comes from the altered state.
This explains why debates about religion are the same thing as debates about freewill.
Low-IQ people reduce the entire subject of religion to “Does God exist, yes or no?”
In contrast, I approach the topic of religious theory in terms of no-free-will, or the transformative altered experience of control, as the central driving topic.

The Freewill State of Consciousness
Phenomenologically, in the ordinary state, which is the possibilism experiential state, freewill is true or functionally true, experientially the case and is the form of the mental model.
Experiencing is in the form of freewill branching.
Autonomous monolithic control steering in branching possibilities.
The No-free-will State of Consciousness
Phenomenologically, in the altered state, which is the eternalism experiential state, no-free-will is true or functionally true, experientially is the case and is the form of the mental model.
Experiencing is in the form of no-free-will/ non-branching.
Dependent 2-level pre-existing control-thoughts frozen worldline in block universe.
Control Compatibilism
A fully formed mind can handle stable control in the possibilism state of consciousness and the eternalism state of consciousness.

William James vs. experiencing block-universe eternalism
Summary article:

I assume the ordinary state is assumed by James, like in Sam Harris’ no-free-will book.
William James argues in terms of “our experience” – but the big question is, our experience in which state of consciousness?
the default, free will/ possibilism/ open-future state of consciousness, or
the psilocybin, no-free-will/ eternalism/ closed -future state of consciousness?
What does his NO2 experience say about possibilism vs. eternalism?
Book claims James became more open minded about eternalism:

Richard Double Metaphilosophy and Free Will
His thesis:
People who are driven by truth assert no-free-will.
People who are driven by fabricating and propping up a wobbly system of ethics assert free will.

I started the Egodeath Yahoo Group June 10, 2001: https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-1/#message1 – there might be a Double post there & at Egodeath.com, he is mentioned.
I posted about his book The Non-Reality of Free will: https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-1/#message42
Substantive posts, as usual.
The first member of the Egodeath community, Michael Anderson, asked about the topic, and he is of the guitar amp tone religion.
