I observe this love .
Am I the love or am I the observer ?

I observe my arms but I am not my arms , what I truly am is the observer .

Does free will exist?
I can do what I want .
Avatar of tomtrytostay
What is it that I want to do ?
I want to eat , drink , have sex . I want to defecate . I want to fulfil my physical needs .

Is my 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 .

Experience is the observer and the observed in the present moment continually.

I hear the sound of the waves . Am I the waves the observer or both ?

The car makes a noise , my ears detect the sound , my brain interprets the information.

I am both .

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

Ah I remember .

I'm thinking choice is a different experience when it's in respect of the inner world and the outer world.

But the choice we experience in respect of the outer world , well most of the time it feels we are just acting naturally no? Being our natural selves .

So if someone offers you a soda generally there's really not much thought involved . You might even answer without being self conscious .

Is this choice less of a choice then a big decision that you agonise over or just the same form of choice ?

I just watch my mind as it creates and solves problems . As I relax .

I have a good idea what I am . I know that free will doesn't 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 am I here ?

I was created naturally .

That's funny . It's nice to have you back . That's about right . What we are is as natural as yoghurt .
