What a great clip. Science is finally catching up with what the Buddha knew 2500 years ago

I think my brain got addicted to anxiety and depression. That's not what I choose for myself so I'm working on breaking the addiction. Any advice is greatly appreciated my friend's as this this video ❤ Thank you. I believe we are starting to get our freewill back or we are getting it for the first time in the history of mankind # Truly and eternally grateful 🙏 ❤

We are biological beings. We need food, shelter and water. As we get older we have sexual desires. That drives us to look for a mate. We are hungry, thirsty and driven to reproduce. That is not in our control. We can limit how much certain desires affect our lives. So self discipline plays a part. As a philosopher myself, we can't escape the Matrix that is the world. Nobody is completely free. So thinking less and living more is the best balance. Knowing more does not make us happier just because we understand the mechanisms the makes things happen. So in the end, do these tests have any real value? Humans will be humans regardless what we believe. The drive to reproduce is the strongest desire. Hence why the population keeps growing. Sex is pleasurable. No surprise there. So we are really on autopilot. Making different choices and trying different activities can allow us the break out of the boredom of life.

Whether we have free will or not is not as amazing as David Attenborough STILL going strong at 98!

100 💯 % I’m a Recovery Coach in Addiction and this makes complete sense. I always work with a persons patterns, however they have to consciously be aware of it

4:52 The Dao & The Way ... a lot of people don't realize this but This is exactly what Jesus and The Bible teaches .. LOL All of this stuff believe it or not all comes from the Bible & most of what we call "myth" isn't myth, (it's all truth) (in the way) (of the Spirit) the Bible has nothing to do with the earthly physical places we know like Israel for example or any other names of city's or towns, rivers all of it has nothing to really do with the actual place's.. if you paid for training in Biblical scholarship you got punked.. even most religious teachers & churches don't realize it. And all those that spend all their time "disproving" the Bible and don't believe, are going to miss the point & what really is.

Bravo, thank you for exposing the TRUTH. Sir Attenborough

We have no free will, each choice we made right now was preceded by external and biological predeterminates and prior behaviors of others and external pressures.

Outstanding, the best true information of the entire Era.
Thanks

Does this mean that true consciousness is the awareness and understanding of how the brain works and taking control of the decisions we make?

[markcowan]

Subconscious reality guides us just as much.

[Anilkumar-sqtp]

Excellent subject. In depth.
It is quite difficult to understand our own mind and manipulate it for good things. But it is an unsolved Puzzle.
Many very important behaviours and habits are very well covered.❤ Looking forward for more information.
Thank you.

Please consider that we don’t have an “autopilot”, we have a COGNITIVE UNCONSCIOUS.
