About Free Will

Is there a "free will"? Or is it also another marketing hype from the Western world? You're free to buy this, to buy that. This cosmetic makes you the real you. This cigarette makes you the real you, etc...

Or there isn't really a "free will"? That everything is conditioned.

Borrowing a line from Buddhism "Paticca Samupada", everything exists because other things exist. Cause and effect. There's a reason to everything. Nothing is independent of itself. There must be something that cause it. Every moment is related. There is no coincidence. It is not a coincidence I write this blog, and it is not a coincidence that you read it. There is a reason to everything.

So does your will, and my will.

So, there is no free will.

In fact, there's no "you" and "me". We are one, only consciousness that travels through time and space, trying to find its own home back. Borrowing another line "Anatta", there's no eternal "me". Not even our souls. Not even our wills. Not even the consciousness. There's an escape. There's a way back home.
