FREE WILL?
Is the absence of free will a consequence of (or the other term for) the fact that the Universe is one unitary undivided transforming movement (cannot be divided/fragmented)?
Is a "decision" in the Universe that is the one unitary movement an illusion?
Physicist David Bohm said: "All that can be is what is".
Albert Einstein wrote: "People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
The statement reflects the implication of the Relativity Theory - often called the Block Universe - where past, present, and future coexist simultaneously in the four-dimensional geometry of the Universe.
So according to our best theory of the Universe, everything already exists. Everything has already happened. Everything is predetermined.
If the experiencer/the me/the I is only a product of thought, how can choice, direction, purpose, "my will be real? The brain inventing the Horizontal Conflict does not reflect reality and it's only a source of imaginary distortion of perception and suffering because it's imaginary, not real.
Only the brain completely reflecting reality (the one unitary movement of the Universe) in Unitary Perception is free of imagination and so free of suffering.
The absence of free will would not mean that we don't need to make optimal decisions because we don't know WHAT exactly is determined in the Block Universe. So after all, it may still be a bad strategy to lie in bed all day..
