About This Quote
The topic of free will is a very highly debated one. Many people believe in the existence of free will, but it is hard to prove the existence of free will in a scientific way. The mind is a very complex thing and many things that we think we do are not based on free will at all. For example, by looking back at our past, we can see that we did not always make the choices that we did make today.
If someone is trying to get us to do something against our own will, they are doing so with our permission and we did it willingly. We, as humans, make decisions and choose courses of action by following our instincts and desires rather than what we think we should do. At this level of consciousness, our thoughts and decisions are entirely reactionary and animal-like.
We do not have self-awareness and cannot make decisions based on who or what we really are. When you reach this level of consciousness, your actions become completely re-active and you lack self-awareness. Your actions are purely based on your animal instincts and your decisions are just simply what you feel like doing at the moment. There is no real choice making at this point because your mind is so limited and controlled by your animal urges that you cannot allow yourself to be guided by your instincts and desires anymore than you would allow yourself to be guided by an outside force.
When you reach this point, you eventually surrender your mind until it becomes completely absorbed in the energy of the spirit world. It becomes completely absorbed in the realm of thought-form reality until it gains complete awareness of itself as a thought construct within the "real" world. This happens when one reaches their highest level of consciousness or when one has achieved their highest level of enlightenment or when one reaches nirvana . The only way to truly discern whether or not one has free will would be for them to reach their highest level of consciousness, which is attained through meditation .
However, even then there are still limits to one's freedom if they believe that they have no choice in the matter at all because they would then be agreeing with their own egoic nature .
