Good1,
Do you believe in free will?
Before i answer, i should say something about my writing style. When i capitalize a word, it means i'm referring to a Being with those attributes.
I want to say that Freedom is the Truth, meaning, we are free. However, there's this thing i'll call *fate* which seems to intervene. It would appear that all the world is a stage, and we are merely actors reciting our lines. But what i'd like to say about that, is, we have the free will to be the actor on the world stage, or we can transcend the world stage. Once upon the world stage, there is very little leeway.
What we have, instead, are parallel worlds within this one world within what im calling *imagination*. These worlds can be compared to a multiplex theater. Nowadays they might have ten theaters in a single multiplex cinema. And each theater is showing a movie that's already been scripted and made. So there is no changing it. As such, the actors have no free will. But, if we no longer like the movie, we can walk out, and walk into another theater to watch another film. In this way, we can negotiate our way out through better and better scripts. If we really don't want to see a world where there is a theater-of-war, there's a chance we will shift into another theater/world that looks the same, but has a different outcome.
So to summarize, there isn't any free will within imagination except to exit the theater, and finally to exit the multiplex (matrix/imagination). Our situation get's better and better as we, deep down, find the will to exit each theater, and finally, to flip the switch that turns on the lights completely.
Beyond imagination Freedom is really free. Imagination shows us that we are free to experience un-freedom...and to escape (or else Freedom would not be the Truth).
Does that answer it?
