Falling Asleep Whilst Remaining Awake

Thursday 12 October 2023

Free Will and the Intuition of Freedom

A question is asked about free will, in that there seems to be free will from the perspective of consciousness. Referencing two of his frequent analogies – Mary and Jane; and King Lear and John Smith – Rupert elaborates that Jane is right when she feels free in Mary's dream but wrong in attributing that freedom herself as an individual. And the freedom that King Lear feels is really the freedom of John Smith. The sense that we are free comes from a deep intuition of our true nature and the freedom of being.
