In this episode, I introduce a book I’m reading by Gregg Braden, who introduces a critical question: who are we? As we address this question, we can reflect more deeply on our choices based on free will. But how much free will do we actually have? This question could also be “How conscious are we?” Be it of the choices we make or how much of our lives are self-directed. We rely on the space in between more than we realize.
What I mean by this is that when we cram everything in from one day to the next, we have less and less bandwidth to give ourselves the space to make choices for ourselves. It’s as if the space between those spaces is where the spirit resides in order to give life to our minds and bodies.
Our feelings of separation from our exchanges with our world and the people in our lives are part of this greater question of who we are. How we feel matters. What we bring to the table for ourselves and others matters.
The emptiness is what lends to our free will to create the chemistry of feelings we use to create the stories of our lives. Our emotional intelligence is entangled with our ability to choose, even though emotions can be an involuntary or spontaneous process because they are the primary drivers of our physiology, and thus they tend to dictate how we think and behave.
With that said, it’s all about knowing how to navigate the empty spaces, and thus our free will to think, feel, and behave, wisely. Remember that we are the main characters in our story.
