Deepak Chopra: Do We Live in a World of Free Will?

posted by akornfeld | 7:40am Thursday July 17, 2008

Do we live in a world of free will or determinism? The answer seems to me to be the paradox that it is simultaneously both. While these processes appear to be two separate processes they are actually the manifestation of the one process.

We truly live in a Spiritual environment; where all of the human rules of who, what, when , where or why are completely altered from being a person in time on a planet with a story of a journey to death.
Where and how we arise in is still mysterious to us as to causing our immortality or painless moments.
However, we can and do choose at all times – most unconsciously – but we still are individually choosing.
ALL MOMENTS ARE BRAND NEW – This is important to distinguish.
All is new at all moments. There are not a true pre-destined consciously considered directions we ahve unconsciously agreed to.
AND there are “intended” growth patterns built into our living that occur naturally for all of us. But unless we get the lessons planned for our growth within the pattern we stay stuck in the patern, so it appears, repeating actions and behaviors which seem to be predetermined by the fact we have yet to interrupt the patterned behavior.
HOWEVER – if an individual is a conscious aspirant/student/devotee, whatever . . . they know theey’re purposefully looking for and
breaking patterns as a function of their intention to grow in their discrimination.
