| Posted By: Maxim Dvoytsin Posted On: Jul 24, 2009 Views: 1088 | There's no free will There is no free will as all the decisions are made by the subconscious mind (sm) and the conscious mind (cm)detects them and makes them actual in the material world. Thus,the cm is the decision detector but the actual choice is made in the depth of the sm which is out of our control at the moment we are making the choice. Nowadays researches in this field have shown that in reality the sm makes a decision 7 seconds before the cm detects it and performs. What variant of action we choose depends on the light of our attention operated by the sm.For example,that is why one forgets something - because one's attention is distracted for a moment or some period of time and it doesn't depend on us.The cm can be compared with waves on the surface of an ocean while all its life is under the surface in its depth. Thus,it is the subconscious mind what makes the final decision.The conscious mind is nothing but a performer. |

| Posted By: Samir Posted On: Mar 24, 2010 Views: 947 | RE: There's no free will What about decisions we take in fraction of second? Like humping out of the way of a speeding car? That decision can not be taken by our sm 7 seconds before? |
| Posted By: Milky Posted On: Jun 2, 2010 Views: 919 | RE: There's no free will There was an interesting BBC documentary on this subject a while ago and it's greatly troubled me ever since! I feel a bit like an interactive veneer. There’s a sentence you don’t get to use very often. Just found this article which seems very relevant: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/02/science/02free.html |
