Being Free in the Storm of Emotions

Friday 23 May 2025

How Can I Take Responsibility Without Free Will?

How can I lead my life in a responsible way if there is no free will, and how can I take responsibility for things I don’t decide? Rupert says: ‘I think God is more like a jazz musician than a classical musician – it’s improvisation, not reading from a fixed score. The nature of consciousness is freedom. At the individual level, we do feel we have free will, and I recommend you live as if you had free will. Use your freedom in service of love and understanding, aligning your decisions with the recognition that we share our being with everyone and everything. You’re not a mechanical puppet in the universe – you have freedom.’
