Last week, in the post “The human being, the avatar in virtual reality” I wrote about the avatar, cause-and-effect and probability. In this post, I’m going to talk about free will, choice and intention. Do we have free will now or not? Or is everything in the future already fixed? If the latter, then we don’t have free will or freedom of choice at all. If we do have free will and freedom of choice, then it follows that the future is not fixed.
In the post from a few weeks ago; “In another state of consciousness“, I proposed an experiment to see in advance what a choice might result in, with the highest probability. This is a very different way of making choices than just doing the much thinking we have been taught to do.
In last week’s post, I suggested an experiment of already working with intention, or perhaps more accurately, playing with it. That which you are then trying to accomplish is to adjust the probability of what will happen. Imagine that you have a chance to be able to change the future, even if it is minimal. And that, as “My Big TOE” points out, can only be done with intention. It is more likely to change the probability of something if the intention is also entropy lowering. That’s a mouthful!
Fun reading and experimentation wished!
