Posted July 14 3 hours ago, Someone here said: This question about control is really not so advanced. There is no spiritual teacher or spiritual teaching that doesnāt address this issue of control . And more importantly the answer is readily obvious in your experience. For whom is there control or thereās not control ? For you ..Ā isnāt it ? The claim is that this āyou ā is an illusion.Ā If the separate self is an illusion then free will belongs to no one. Ā So the question itself is based on a false premise . Itās impossible to answer whether you haveĀ Ā control or no control if there isnāt a you in the first place . When I say āthere is no you ā itās more accurate to say āthere is no separate you ā. You exist but not as a separate entity separate from the rest of reality making choices independently.Ā Ā regarding your question about spiritual teachers. All the famous ones ..dead and alive . Rupert Spira ..Eckhart Tolle ..Osho ..Nisargadatta Maharaj..Ramana Maharshi..Robert Adams..Jim Newman ..Adi Shankara etc Ā What difference does it make if something is an illusion if from your POV it seems to be real?Ā There is intelligence everywhere ā Some intelligenceĀ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told you itās not that you have a little control or no control at all. Ā I told you there is no separate self who has either little control or no control at all . So the question ā do we have no control at all or just a little control?ā Is based upon a false assumption. And the answer to it is both are false (little control or zero control ).
