I am really not able to grasp this concept of enhancement of awareness. As I try to perceive this concept I stumble upon these questions. I have 5 sensory organs. These are the only sources through which I get the data about reality. Now when we say enhancing the perceptions does it mean I will be able to receive more data? For example will I be able to see more things, able to hear something that I am not hearing now? If it is not so then how am I going to experience which is not physical? Here I am assuming that direct experience happens only through 5 sensors and experience of the truth should be happening in direct experience. Or is it that my brains efficiency to analyze the received data through 5 sensors will increase? So that I will start experience the oneness with reality? or something else ?

I am confused about the difference between judgments and recognition. I learned from Leo’s video that being judgmental is mental projection only may not be real. But in practical life to live I need to make some judgment about people. A very naive example would be when I am interviewing one person for some job I need to make a judgment about the skill sets the candidate has. I have been asked to do so by my manager so I cannot always say no to this. But also I know I am damaging myself by labeling others. So is there any way to just do the job without being judgmental?

Hi All, I am confused about not having free will. What exactly mean that we don't have free will ? For example I decided to ask the question in the forum . Is it not my free will to do so? Does it mean I am driven by some bigger thing ? How can I experience that I do or do not have free will? How to realize the truth here ? Please throw some light in this area

It's really frustrating to know that no free will exists. Then how anger , negative emotion, etc will be controlled. How personal development work will be pursued? How a terrorist ,murderer will be punished as he has no free will . Can a robot be punished ? Not able to grasp at all And I can not try to grasp also because there is no "I" and no free will . Is it not hopeless situation? So what is the way out ?

Okay . Thanks every one .

@Leo Gura So if I am not making decision as I am produced by ego then how I am responsible 100% for my life? Who is making decision here ? Is it happening automatically with out any control ? In your videos when you say you are 100% responsible who is the "you" in that context ? When you say "you" are 100% responsible for everything in your life , how can it be true when "I" do not exists ?

@Leo Gura Just one more question before I stop pestering . You asked me to do that exercise. Now I can choose to do or choose not to do . suppose I choose to do . Then is it not that I am making the decision ? If I am making decision to chose one path given n number of paths how I don't have free will to choose ? Also if I am not choosing how can I 100% responsible for my actions ? I am sorry if I am asking pointless questions.

Okay . If I don't have free will then how I am 100% responsible for my life ? Is it not contradicting? One hand I know that I am responsible for everything in my life on the other hand I don't have free will to do anything how both are true? What am I missing here ?
