Blimey Steve,
Can't you give us some nice easy subject to debate?
I 'll probably be shot down in flames but my view is:-
Of course you have free will . The course of your life is determined by the choices you make and my belief is that you always have a choice. Nothing is set in stone.
In any circumstance you choose between fear and love both in their widest
meanings.
First you have to understand that you have the power of choice and you do that by observing your own mind and feelings. The choice we make Now is what may influence our future and ------ we can always change our mind.
The second part of your question requires a book to answer so I'm not even going to go there!
Love and light,
Faune
