Where exactly is your free will? Can you identify where it is real and where it is an illusion?

[Carina]

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.

Choosing your environment.

We cant really determine what is real vs what is an illusion. Our free will is largely illusory. The only thing we truly have the freedom to choose is environment.

[Joe]

Our free will exists outside of us and the choice that we can make to adhere to the Creator.
