Free Will and Nonduality

from The Tao of Christ · host Marshall Davis

The topic for today was suggested by a seminary professor who emailed me. He wrote:“Here’s a question I wonder if you tackle in your works or are interested in addressing: what does seeing through the illusion of the self entail for the concept of free will? In his book Everything is God: The Radical Path of Nondual Judaism, Jay Michaelson calls free will the last gasp of unenlightened thinking. The logic seems pretty clear: if there is no agent, how can there be agency? In the end, one might join with Julian of Norwich when she says of God, “There is no doer but He.” …. So I’d be curious to hear where your experiences and reflections have taken you on this question, if you are willing to share in a podcast or blog post at some point.”In this episode I address the topic of free will within nonduality.View Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
