So much of our lives moment to moment is informed and manifested from our matter, nourishment, and upbringing. Sometimes I feel that that which came before me is more of me than what I am now, and yet I am its arbiter on how it will be used and play out through the environments that I place myself in. Acting on the collection of these forces as a whole.
Notice how much of our mind is dominated by automated thoughts and programmed desires and reactions.
We only have free will when begin to notice how the mind works and we start to make conscious choices. For example; contemplating an action and its consequences ahead of time in order to consider the impact on ourselves and others so as to benefit both. This process of conscious living can become second nature with practice and help to smooth out the bumpy road of karma.
In most people choices are unconscious and are automated according to selfish ego desires programmed to feed itself and perpetuate the unsatisfactory state of insatiable appetites, leading to correction through suffering.
This is the difference between living consciously or unconsciously.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>I not really sure of free will in choosing our environment because even a small spark triggered in our mind to chose A or B…….will follow a set of rules or programs. Thus free will is just an illusion so to speak.</p>
