      My free will is on either I choose the path of light or the path of suffering,that’s all.

      Free will can only be affected in the area of changes in alien forces. We cannot change our genetic make up, the environment into which we are born, how we are affected by internal forces. However we can change our environment. My question is how do we address such medical breakthroughs as gene splicing.? They are looking at this as a way to eradicate such genetic disorders as Tay Sacks. How does this change this aspect of free will?

      Our true free will is in choosing the environment we live in, including the people and influences around us. Most of what we think and do is controlled by our genes, upbringing, and outside forces, making our freedom feel real but mostly an illusion. This illusion is kept by a spiritual “screen” that hides the control from us so we feel free even when we are not. Real freedom comes when we align ourselves with a higher purpose, making us partners in our own growth beyond just making choices.

      We exercise our free will only in the choice of our environment, in the choice of who we have as friends, and in the choice of books we read.

      Our perception is an illusion when we are guided by egoism and our five senses. The true nature of reality is the awakening of the point in the heart where we value equivalence with the Creator more, than satisfying our ego.
      We have free will to embrace more altruistic values through our choice of environment, through likeminded friends, books and teachers to guide us to adopt the principal faith above reason towards spiritual enlightenment.
