Regarding free will here is a simple experiment:

Sit on a chair, both feet on the ground.

Now, please lift one foot, and it doesn't matter which one.

Think it over... Which one will be lifted, right or left?

And when it has been lifted, was that because of:

1. free will

2. God's will

3. determinism

4. choice

5. God's choice

6. God playing dice

7. I don't know

8. love

9. the Kundalini

10. I don't care

11. nobody cares

12. All of the above

13. None of the above

(pick what is appropriate)

And then, be happy that either

1.the issue of free will is solved at last

or

2. the issue never existed at all!

(pick what is appropriate)

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

Hi Wim,

For a biped animal, before 1 leg is raised, who/what decides which one?
