Choice, Free Will, and Karma: Experience Shows the Way

Let me begin by making three assertions and one prescription.

1.) There is no free will.

2.) The self is ephemeral and does not choose, i.e., choice does not happen in experience. If choice is perceived, then you are not observing experience you are simply inclined to mistake a false narrative as a true one.

3.) The self is an ephemeral manifestation that makes its appearance via a narrative, whether one is aware of its occurrence or not. What defines the self in this sense of the word is purely narrative in nature.

4.) Do not rely on anything that moves.
