Michael Mamas discusses “Free Will vs. Predetermination” in this video. Predetermination can be likened to a billiard ball game. If you know the spin of the billiard ball, the angle it hits, the resistance of the felt, etc., you know where it will end up. That same idea can be applied to all of creation in terms of movement of protons, neutrons, etc. You could then say everything is predetermined. There is another idea of free will. This is based on there being something beyond the predetermined level. Modern physicists are starting to see that consciousness affects the probability cloud, for instance. The degree to which your consciousness is awake to the level of the probability cloud, the level of infinite freedom, determines the degree to which you are really free. You may think you are free, but are you really?
