Do We Have Free Will? An in-depth inquiry from Neuroscience and Kabbalah
The Buddhist trained devotee, Leonard Cohen, stated emphatically that while we have a sense that we make choices as if we are running the show this is only an illusion. In his view, corroborated by most neuroscientists, “we don’t determine what we are going to see next, hear next, taste next, feel next or think next” and choose next. There is no Self or Soul as an arbiter. For Kabbalah, and some neuroscientists it is the soul’s self-aware consciousness which provides the capacity to breaking free from what appears determined by nature and nurture. Edith Eger’s book, The Choice, will add further dimensions to the bold and unpredictable choices we are guided to consider for our spiritual growth.
