Is there free will?  Is there freedom? 

Depends on who you are asking.  Are you asking me as a person, or asking me as Awareness?  

As a person, I have free will only if I can choose my next thought.  But I can't do that.  In fact, I can't even *predict* my next thought.  So the person doesn't have free will.

As Awareness, I *am* freedom.  I am not bound or limited by anything, and I don't block or prevent anything.  I don't willfully "choose," but choices freely arise in me. 

As a person I am not free, but as Awareness I am never bound.
