RE: Free Will and Conscious Freedom
Conscious Freedom and Morphological Freedom, I like it that you've put it that way :) Agreed on the following - 1) freedom is not a product of mere mechanical happenings but a consequence of our consciousness. 2) freedom doesn’t come from a part inside consciousness, it comes from the totality of our conscious awareness.
I'm in the midst of writing something similar too, would be nice to update some of my terms using better words :)
For me consciousness is an illusion too. It is mere product of human brain's ability for abstract thinking (very complex cognitive function in Homo Sapiens). Just simple fact that your " consciousness" can be altered by changes in the brain (drugs, sensory deprivation, taking body out of homeostasis, mindfulness techniques etc) or damage to the brain, is a proof that it has source in the brain.
