What happened to your determinism theory? Is what you are saying in contradiction with that theory? Why or why not?

Is thought separate from my will or can I observe my thoughts , feelings and behaviours ?

I can observe my will and my behaviour , therefore free will does not exist .

What is experience ?
Experience is the observed and the observer, in the present moment continually .
tomtrytostay
I hear the sound of the waves , am I the waves , am I the observer , or am I both ?

The car makes a noise , my ears detect the sound , my brain interprets the information, what I am is all of these things .

How can I end my search ?
I can find out what I am .
tomtrytostay
I have a good idea of what I am .
I know that free will does not exist , I know that experience is the observed and the observer in the present moment continually , what is it that I don't know ?

I don't know who I am.

How does this love , this absence of free will and this experience is the observed and the observer in the present moment continually fit together ?
