Default Re: Free Will.

Can you choose to think or not to think? If you can't contol your thoughts then you are subject to them which wouldn't be free will. If you try to control your thoughts you are not free because you are contolling yourself. So the only answer is to realize that you are not what you are thinking. After realization of what it is that lies behind thought, you are just acting out of what you are, which is the same for everyone, but of course you can still do whatever you want to do, you just won't be acting as yourself because your self that lies behind thought doesn't strive to do anything but be that which it already is. So you have the free will to do whatever you want, but if you are trully being yourself, what is the need for free will?
