Once there is the ability to make choices, there is Will. Of course not all our choices are an example of free will, but they can be, that is the whole point, you can progress to it, but if I have to go to a certain place my will will direct me down a predetermined path, but this is just reality.. Again Free Will is not about absolute control over everything, its about Me and My ability to determine How I am within Myself, that is totally an ability I can have, via that more choices become available to me, vs. not determining what my experience is and blowing in the wind. Having a Suffering mind will make You not want to get out of bed in the morning, having a Blissful Mind will make You want to get out of bed in the morning, I choose to be Blissful, life is much easier this way.. And Yes thank God that Breathing happens automatically, but I can control that too if I want to. You can even get to a point where Your completely conscious while in Deep Sleep, totally aware but fully asleep.. You need to expand Your horizons and not get caught up in the dogma of predetermination!!

how does infinite nothingness have will?

It seems there are those that follow the let what is be what it is on all levels of life, they think they have no choice in any matter, but do they choose what to wear or what to eat or how many breaths they take each min or what to look at/not look at? Choice is everywhere in our lives if you look at it...even the choice to believe there is no choice!! As soon as someone says there is no choices being made, and I say there is, right there is obvious proof that there is choice lol...

Define God.,..If You say some oldman with a beard up in heaven, I'll find You and Aumm You to death:) Don't luv what is, just Accept it, unless Your being tortured, pretty well impossible to luv/accept that!

First you can fly in Yours dreams, the brain does not know the difference btwn something vidly imagined and something that happened for real, so use this imagination that God gave us and fly boy:) Second when our bodies our bound by physics as are all physical things, we have limited freedom, not unlimited freedom when it comes to what body can do, but we invented planes to fly around in so we used our minds to invent planes so we can fly, Free Will for me is more about choosing how I am within myself, what I create within myself and via that choice I can determine where my life is going, vs having no control, feeling like shit and doing nothing about it and nothing happening in life other than suffering..

The playing ground is chalked out and constructed (predetermined), all for You to PLAY how you please (Free will)!

@Breakingthewall Nice!!! Now for the Ya Butts below:)

When I was heavily training in Wing Chun I had endless energy because I luv'd it, i had practice 4 times a week, 3hrs on Saturday mornings, and after practice at night at my security job I would practice some more. When You luv something there is endless energy available, but when You luv yourself its not so empowering for others around You, since its all about Me, Myself and I, no room for anyone else.. Its the same with my yoga practice, no need for motivation, i'm internally inspired to see where it takes me, so far its going well:)

I did not insult You, You choose to feel insulted:)

Thank You for bringing the thread back to the top:)

I'll find You and Aummm you to death if You keep this up:)

no, I'm just thru with discussing things with spiritual idiots!

more hogwash lol.. I guess I'm going to hell for posting the Adam Chan video about Taoism the other day...gosh why would I watch a video of another person if I am so obsessed with Sadhguru?? Things that make me go ummm:)

Hogwash!

He's imagining Me, I am Imagining Him,,,It makes no sense too me why anyone would buy into this way of belief or understanding how life is but to each their own:) Taking psychedelics and then coming out of it thinking this is the Reality of Life, well I can take coke and think I am superman, does that mean that is reality? NO!
