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

[Amirhossein]

We can choose when we have at least two options. I can’t choose in a real way when my only options are egoism and egoism. If I find the other quality (altruism) then I can have a real choice.

The obvious point about it is that I can choose between two things that I want but can I actually want to want something? If I can choose what I feel I want (even if at current state I hate that thing) it might seem like I am free from the chain of the desires I haven’t choosen.

Free will is just a sensation, since I’m always perceiving illusions. If only the truth exists, then there is no real alternative, so there’s no other option to choose. There are only alternative choices within the individual dreams.

My free will always feels real. I live in this perception, therefore, I believe in my world. I live in my world. I do not see any difference other than the world that I live in. I have never felt that I was an illusion. I may have some reality checks, but I am not confused that I am an illusion. Now that I am studying Kabbalah I am learning a great deal more than I have ever contemplated in my past. I believe that I can change my egoism through my choice of environment.

Hm. Within receiving I would say I have a wide range of free will. I can choose to hear to the voice of the ego or of the Creator, can choose the forms in which I create a day of my life. I even can choose how I am going to interpret or integrate an occurance. But I learn here, that this is all predetermined, while I’m feeling it’s my own will. No, I can’t exactly identify.

I feel if I let go of choosing and allow the changes whether up or down to just happen and receive the experiences to change and grow me up, then there’s no free will.  In addition, some things are written in pen and some things are written in ink. The wisdom to except it all and allow is free and willing within itself pass the illusion. It’s not me controlling anything. It’s all in ALL that’s giving everything as I allow and receive to grow while operating from my heart. Becoming selfless leaves me with no choice, only acting upon which is, IS.

I think so, our free will is real when we choose the path of bestowal and not the path to receive for oneself. The free will is an illusion in reference to all of our corporal senses and choices to receive for ourselves.
