Re: If you haven't tried this simple test then don't waste my time or yours ...

I love this topic!
Of course Turiya this is impossible as anyone who has meditated should know!
I do not think we have free will at all. I have asked myself this time and again ...how can we have free will when there is so much hidden from us, when we do not even know the rules of the game. For example lots of us believe in reincarnation but we do not know absolutely for sure it happens nor how it happens nor why....we don't know the rules for sure! How can we have free will unless you have ALL the info you are just guessing or hoping that you are making good choices. I don't want to come back as a squirrel so I am being nice and giving and kind BUT I really want to be a Sh#ihead, that is not free will. I AM making the CHOICE to be GOOD but under duress of my spiritual beliefs. Of course I could toss my beliefs and get new ones and believe there is no heaven or hell or good or bad and be a big ol shi#head but my conscience would always tug at me...wondering if I am doing something wrong and will be punished...jacking with my free will yet again! Plus if we all have free will won't our free will's keep bumping into each other screwing with another's free will?
