Is free will possible with in cause and effect?

Answer 1

As long as you are alive you have free will but sometimes free will, if not used with responsibility, will be the trigger for cause and effect. Responsibility is the ability to choose our responses.

Answer 2

Good way to ask the question!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wrong way is the usual one:
FREE WILL VS. DETERMINISM

That latter, exclusive dysjunctive way, due to "VS.," sets up a false dilemma. The two choices are either free will all by itself, or determinism all by itself. There is no correct answer.

"Free will" refers to will power, and indicates that it's use costs nothing; there is no debt for using it.

The words determinism, fate, destiny, and cause and effect, for our purposes here are synonymous terms. Cause and effect is a law of energy in all its planes of manifestation; it is one of reality's fundamental principles of operation. So you ask, is it possible to have free will at work too?

The question becomes, is it possible that there exists a power, for which there is no debt to use, that alters the direction of continuous cause and effect?

ROUGHLY PUT, WE USE IT ALMOST ALL THE TIME.

For the sake of argument, consider the role of a genuine, master fortune teller, or some other divination tool such as the I Ching. Predictions, or "fortunes," are projected only from the CURRENT state of affairs. The further into the future the prediction, the less accurate. This is because between the time of the prediction and the actual event, changes can take place by making decisions that point things in another direction.

There is no cost for using will power to affect energy such that cause and effect takes new turns. HOWEVER, the results of using it unwisely can be costly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's cause and effect at work. We will always live in the consequences of our uses of will. It's like plugging into the electrical socket and getting power, except that we have to pay an electric bill AND use the light wisely. Withwill power, we just use it at no charge but then we're totally responsible for what we do with it. If there's a cost, it's the effect of what we used it for, not that we used it. Its use is free, and it's always available. It can sort of self start. You can even will to gain strong will power, and gain a bit of will power. It drains nothing. FREE.

Funny, there is a lot of talk these days about free energy. Will power has always been free power. When you control your thoughts, feelings, or actions, you are using will power. That's free will, incidently. Who ever heard of unfree will?

Answer 3

Free will is a question of autonomy and responsibility. the basic law of physics is incorrect (each action has an equal and opposite reaction), however, we are some ways away from understanding this.

For example, as you typed your question, there was an equal and opposite reaction to the keys by your fingers. You also though disrupted light waves, created sound waves, interfered with microwave energy and so on. if we believe that basic law of physics then that is all we are capable of seeing.

If you believe that we are a process of genetics, then logically, there can be no free will as everything is already precoded in terms of a DNA sequences and the expression of various proteins over time. Or, you may think you are acting of your free will, you are just doing what was already programmed into your genes.

It all depends on what belief system you choose.

Answer 4

Yes. You have free will to beginng the cause. After you do the cause then the effect takes place.

Answer 5

We all have limited free will but understanding cause and effect certainly increases our degree of control and choices

Answer 6

Free will can be the cause.

Answer 7

obvious no...true free will cannot include cause and effect. It is not free at that point ;)
