Who needs free will if we have the freedom to spot creation

 A philosopher, physicist, and neuroscientist walk into a bar and convince you that there is no free will. They prove that you are a perfectly predictable bio-robot. What would you do? Get drunk in order to forget, move on with your life the way you have done before; commit suicide; what would you do?

 

As we sit there with our drink in hand with our head spinning in confusion, a spiritual teacher comes in and tells us that we are our parents and our ancestors. We are the prevailing zeitgeist of the society. We are our neighbors and presumed enemies too. What happens when we realize this fact?

 

This is not a rhetorical question. What happens? I claim that if the lack of free will is properly understood, and we take the time to observe the bio-robot and the prevailing creative force at work, our previously perceived life force merges with the universal flow of creation, and this is a magnificent state of being.

 

We are the world, but knowing this, we have a shot to open to something much greater that some of our ancestors and our compatriots overlook as they are too busy to enforce their spin on the workings of this world which are beyond their conscious control. Who needs free will if we have the freedom to spot creation!
