Continuing Wonder 5
Our not knowing who or what we are does not negate our existence, consciousness or our sense of being. We can logically state, however, that whoever or whatever we are, is manifested in the reality and totality of what we are today. This totality of what we are is probably and comparatively the perceivable part of the iceberg with the greater part being hidden underwater. And again, we come full circle to the fact that no one can define or know the totality of our present selves but us, ourselves, and no one else. One definite conclusion we can make out of this is that we are the creators of our own reality even if we do not know why or what for we do so.
Time to take a look at free will. Free will has got to begin from a point or position of perfect neutrality in everything and every way. Any bias at the start, for positive or negative, up or down, left or right, etc would make free will null and void. Any bias in the beginning would make us robots and not beings with free will. This must be the reason why we were made to forget who or what we are. So that the field will be clear for our uninfluenced or untainted creation?
Should we think we are birds, for example, then we get shackled to the bias of being birds and partial to all things pertaining to birds thereby disqualifying us, by definition, as entities with free will. We have said earlier that our having a conscience is an evidence of bias being in us. Moreover, there are plenty of times we are in autopilot and not actively exercising our free will. For example we do not decide which leg will take the first step of our day. We are on autopilot. Where does all these bring us? Are we free will entities or robots? We do know we have free will, nonetheless.
Perhaps the reason we cannot arrive at a definitive state on who or what we are, is because we are in the task of creating precisely who or what we are. This is tantalizingly beautiful and logical thought. If I were to believe in it, I would take solace in that our future is open ended and is up to us to create. In the vastness of infinity we can create absolutely anything that we have the heart and the will to do.
On the other end of the spectrum of such a choice is the end of human life at the push of a button. We now have that capability with many such buttons poised to be pushed at many places in the world.
So where do we go from here? We must believe that our individual choice is very important because it will go to form part of our human collective choice.
