   A very clever, very personal example.   
   My phase 5 is more along the lines of self-beration for not having put   
   the wallet in its usual place.   
   Which is in itself a proof of the appearance of free will - since if it   
   was pre-destined / decided, then wouldn't the wallet have been where it   
   should have been? (You know, as my automated mind did what it was   
   supposed to, instead of letting my non-automated mind do what it wants.)
