Discovery 8
This is a major realisation.
Does our personality has free will?The thoughts come and go in our mind... we can't stop them, we can't will them. Our 'sense of self'... give us a sense of personal decision-making and action-taking ability... The 'sense of self' seems to be in charge of these actions and decision-making... but is this really the case?
My opinion is that the personality has no personal free-will. The sense of self is caused by the impression of continuity and connectivity of thoughts that gives the impression of coherence and personal-willing. In another word, the sense of self IS the sequence of thoughts itself... that is interspersed with the intelligence that make coherent meaning of this sequence of thoughts. This can be realised within deep meditation, when the arising of thoughts are clearly percieved... In such meditation, one will discover that there is really NO observer of these thoughts. The subsequent thoughts that arise after the previous thought are the 'observation' of their predecessors. All these are happening at lightning-fast rate, and therefore is perceptable only under deep clarity.
My view is that only the soul/oversoul has free-will... because it is the state that held the impulses and intentions/desire/purpose for the incarnated personality. But, ironically... part of the soul/oversoul itself may not have a 'sense of self'.
'Sense of self/ego/personality' is only a part of the entire field of consciousness. The 'sense of self' is not the doer... it is part of the 'being done'.
Dear friends... what do you think?
