This is a very interesting question. At this moment I cannot define whether or not I have free will, as well as whether it is real or not. I am convinced that, as long as we are “under the spell” of a religion, we do not have free will. Long time ago, when I attended the temple, I had a conversation with some religion teachers about the predestination of some biblical heroes. Adam, Cain, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Salomon, Jonas and many more were predestined for perform certain tasks. Whether they wanted to or not, they were born for such purposes. Perhaps, and that is my personal opinion, we are born for a purpose. And my task is to discover, through the study of Kabbalah, whether there is real free will or we are just objects to fulfill the whims of a “higher being.”
Yes. I am a product of my actions and omissions. Although sometimes I feel that I am in a kind of “MATRIX”, where the reality, sometimes, is strange and bizarre. Upon receiving the information that I have studied so far on this site, I am understanding a little more about the “failures” of my perception of reality. I will continue to learn… Thanks a lot!
By appreciating everything that surrounds me, respecting life, beliefs, uses and customs as well as others belongings. Loving people, whether they are my relatives or friends. Offering timely and selfless help to those in need.
I always pray by giving thanks for everything and everyone, including those who could hurt me or whom I could hurt by action or omission. I include in my thanks to my whole body. I also wish everyone to be happy.
