      Free will is an illusion as defined by my current 5 senses.

      I don’t feel like the individual has free will, but I guess there is some free will in choosing aspects of our environment (the books we read, the company we keep, etc.).

      There was a time I believed that the proof of free will was the fact that we can choose to learn or stay ignorant. With the amount of knowledge and wisdom that is at our fingertips with the internet, it would seem that those who are in “the dark” so to speak, have willfully chosen to do what is simple and comfortable — stay in ignorant bliss. Now, I can see that there are factors outside/beyond ourselves that influence if we are ready to receive knowledge and wisdom. It doesn’t make one better than others, it just means for that person, it is time. And if these influences (sometimes referred to as serendipitous connections) come at the proper time (“when the student is ready, the Master appears”), then it isn’t really a choice at all, and my so-called proof of free will falls by the wayside.

      Nu ik begrijp hoe het in de Kaballah werkt, zie ik dat ik met mijn hele ‘zijn’ een tool ben, die gelukkig wordt, als ik mijn capaciteiten ontplooi voor de ander.
