Re: Mind's Eye Re: Free will

I am just trying to show you that human will is bound by many limitations, of which we are not even aware, your very reasoning faculty is bound by your genes and the sort of environment you got in childhood and adolescence. What you have read with active interest and the views you developed , you were predisposed to do just that.

Why the hell would I want to walk with a broken leg ?

I'll let it pass as a stupid argument alongwith others like, flying as a bird, being Bill Gates, etc.

If , by chance, your leg gets broken I don't think you would have much freedom to walk.

RP, I am inclined to concede that your will is relatively free.

As for mine, it is absolute. No effing God interferes with my freedom to will as I please. And, indeed, to do what I want to do.

In other words, man has free will because he can reason out things and after understanding all options, he can exercise his will to do this or that. But who has given you the faculty of reason and understanding, you have received it through your genes, which are God-given, and hence you are bound.
But, in relative terms, we are free because we always have a choice, and are this accountable for our action and thoughts.

Human brain decodes sensory inputs availed through five senses.

It is experienced with related karmic impressions from before, in human subconscious, alongwith current judgement of the experiencing self : like or dislike, want or no-want.

The experience itself is an emotion, a reactive feeling in one's vitality.

Will follows emotion, by the desire prompted by our judgement of the experience, objectified as an association embedded in the thing, object or being perceived, from which the sensory input is availed.

Will essentially is the drive, to desire, want or possess the object if the experience is pleasing; or to drive away, negate or remove the object (or oneself) from the encounter.

Before the will is actually unleashed, causing action, it is subjected to conscious thought, analysis and evaluation. Those who do not subject the will to examination would be categorised as brutes.

That conscious deliberation offers us the window of opportunity, instantaneous or over the longer term, to choose from seeming options and alternatives : this or that, now or later, do or not.

That is the whole story of free will. That is, I repeat, if one is not a brute !
