eyes wide shut? lets open them

Describe decision, intention, free will, choice and control. What makes things happen? How
does it work? What are you responsible for? Give examples from experience.

The wants and intention that cause actions are not mine. They come from nowhere and I never know what I will want next moment. I am just a witness of this process. But before my witness immediately imagined herself to be an active doer and decision maker. There is no free will, choice or control. A person has only one choice to make that is the one she makes. I am not responsible for anything because there is no "self". An example: Somebody decided to learn to play guitar... She thinks it's her decision. However, the decision was already there even before she was aware of it. She is not aware of many unconscious processes and sequences of thoughts that led to it. She thinks that she makes decision but she is just a witness of the experience.

Anything to add that we may have not covered on maybe something not clear?

[sophie1]

No questions that I can think of now.
Thank you very much for guiding me through this. It took some time. Thank you for your patience and support. And thanks to everyone who contributed to this website. All the best to all of you...

Glad to help, your apart of the human family.
Can you find a separate witness to your actions?

[sophie1]

I don't think the witness is separate from the subject of witnessing.

[MerlinC]

Who or what would the witness be?
is witnessing a thing, where does it end and begin?

[sophie1]

Sorry, I meant to say NOT separate

[MerlinC]

What's your facebook name so the group can add you, if you need any more help for seeing you can get help from me or tons of other guides and be added to other groups for different discussions on spirituality and truth. When you get confident you can become a guide yourself to help others see to pay it forward, the decisions yours.

[MerlinC]

A quick question, is there something witnessing and if so what?

[sophie1]

There is witnessing with no doer

I don't have Facebook account... Is there another way to connect to the group? If not, I can open Facebook account. Till now I managed without it :)

[MerlinC]

I'll check with my people

[MerlinC]

I think facebook is the only thing, you could make one and just not use it and come to it when needing inquiry.
