      Free will is what I feel that it is. I cannot be sure that it is not a programm composed by my genes, family, culture, society etc. But making any action I should choose the best way – it doesn’t matter that this choice is maybe a result of the inner or outer programm.

      I suppose that after watching the video, we don’t have free will, but we have freedom of choice – that would be the correct term. Making the right choices will bring us closer to the Creator. By being a giver rather than a taker.

      Free will is the choice I have only in regard to aligning myself with the Creator to bestow and connect to others.

      Other than that, free will is an illusion because of the programming we receive in all areas of life – including genetic factors.

      I feel that the free-will illusion piece is when we are still acting as the human-side receiver. We think we are choosing, but we are reacting to our conditioning and the fight-or-flight animal side when fear is ignited. We are living and seeing through those filters. Free will comes in as we fill up with the Creator, Unconditional Love, and our receiver fills up, allowing us to see things from a Higher perspective, a real perspective instead of an illusion. I feel like my ego switches from a hangry (hungry-angry) lion to a purring lion cub sitting in the lap of my Higher Self when I am being filled with Unconditional Love. In that Higher awareness, I then am able to consciously choose what story I want to apply to any situation, and what emotion I want to feel, rather than buying into the popular opinion of my previous conditioning … the “should”, “supposed” to, “need” to, “have” to.

      We don’t have free will, everything is the force of the Creator working in us. It’s some what appearing as free will when we choose the path of light from darkness but in reality it is not.

      Our free will is only in choosing the environment around us, in what environment and with whom we live
      We have no choice in choosing the gene, the body, the family, the historical period and the country in which we were born. We do not even have a choice in choosing what happens outside our body. And be positive or in a state of suffering
