The Story of Me with Amarjit Singh

Amarjit talks about understanding free will. He continues with how free will is an often-misunderstood concept as mental decisions are regularly confused for free will. Often you are subjected to conscious and unconscious impulses of the mind, body, and emotions. This means that many of your habit patterns are unconscious, making it more difficult to understand what is free will and what is not. However, Amarjit provides a method for evaluating your decisions and behavior to shed light on whether they are unconscious habit patterns or an expression of free will.   Podcast website https://www.thestoryofmepodcast.com/   Support the show with a donation.
