Is There Control?

[Anton Rogachevski]

Does the fact that there's no awareness of a controller necessarily mean there is no control?

@Anton Rogachevski

 

You have the ability to respond in the now moment, but you don't have the control over the natural laws which are governing the universe. 

[Nahm]

@Anton Rogachevski what do you mean when you say ‘control’?

[Anton Rogachevski]

@Nahm

The ability to decide if there is such. For example the fact that I chose to post this instead of contemplating it further in solitude.

[Nahm]

@AleksM If I’m understanding you, there is an individual soul making decisions in the now, whereas others say there is no ‘you’ at all, and decisions are illusory. Do you have any insight on a possible reconcile of these positions? Or do you see them as more ‘agree to disagree’’? Thoughts? Thanks!

Present moment just is, So how can now contain controll. There is illusion of controll which is something different. In episode Free will vs determination, Leo explains that. and if you dig into you'll probably see it by yourself.

Is it possible that the answer to all metaphysical questions is I don't know ?(but truly don't as Leo says)
