Can you account for how you move your hand? Forget having the choice to move it, just focus on how you even accomplish the task.

@Henry234 are you consciously firing the neurons in your brain that send a signal down your nervous system and into your hand that contract the muscles?

No . Free will is an illusion .

Can you guess the next thought in your mind ? It might be  Donald Trump taking a dumb in Disney Land or a Rabbi fingering his ass with a Dildo.

You could've chosen to not say that ¬¬

You have free will in the sense that choices seem to present themselves to you and you're able to evaluate each choice according to some inner thought or feeling, and then you'll experience yourself making a choice according to that. You also don't have free will in the sense that you don't choose which choices, thoughts or feelings present themselves to you.

Sure, here's your choice. On one hand there is reality. On the other is wishful thinking.

you are absolute and its reflection called consciousness

consciousness is pre-programmed and up and running with no interference forever and a day to do whatever

absolute doesn't do a lot except assess bless caress #abc

so the challenge is to remember what one is

oneness

Free will is a tricky one if you really want to figure it out.

You do have a free will. At the same time, the life you are living has pre-determined scripts. Which scripts play out depend on the choices you make using your will. You can also use your will to get out of this pre-determined game alltogether. If you choose to do so, as you awaken, your mind will grow stronger and your will as well. At the highest levels, you can do things considered miraculous, but at those levels the ego is dissolved to such an extent that you barely care about them. Finally, when you lay down this body for the final time and return to heaven, there is no need to think or use your will at all, since who you are is perfect love, and that is what is happening in heaven - an endless explosion of perfect love, so you just enjoy it, no choices are needed there.

Obviously I couldn't since I'm claiming that free will doesn't exist . 

Plus ..isn't that how random and chaotic most of our thoughts are ?

There is a lot of wild shit that pops into my mind that I choose not to say.

The more conscious You are, the freer your will.

This is incredibly intelligent design. God is not going to give some utter fool complete free will. The more evolved (=God-like) You are, the more agency You have. In a sense You are rewarded for evolving.

Also, God is Free Will.

I agree with Leo, everything is cause and effect....

There is no cause and effect, only the appearance of it. If cause and effect existed, the same result would always happen. But the same conditions can exist and change can happen out of nowhere. This is why all statistics have variability, and logic has limits. Cause and effect is finite, reality is not bound by cause and effect because it is infinite so cause and effect....don't exist.


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.
