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?

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 ?

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
