Harvest: Do The Math

[Bring4th_Austin]

So do you think that we, now, don't have free will? It seems clear to me that we do, but it sounds like you think we don't.

I would walk a similar line as Unity in saying that the free will in this Logos is somewhat compromised. We can take an extreme example of this in the act of torture. Someone who is restrained, kept alive, and tortured has no choice in the matter and obviously suffers greatly. The only free will they have is how they feel about the situation, but nothing within their free will allows them to escape the situation. On top of that, how much free will does that person have to genuinely feel about a situation like that when our psychology would prevent us from being happy with it?

Basically, what it seems like to me, is the free will which was available to us was too easily turned against us. STS individuals can use their own free will to limit the free will of others. Without venturing into a victimization standpoint, I don't find this balanced.

I also feel like Unity's point is valid. In an environment as harsh as our's, survival comes before choice. When making a preferred choice could indirectly lead to the cessation of the incarnation, I don't feel like that is balanced either.
