i implore those who entertain a philosophical train of thought regarding free will to take into consideration the implications of dopamine and serotonin as they work in concert with synaptic pathways laid down and formed in the brain through habitual behavior patterns such as mannerism and routine - to consider that the epigenetic consequences of decisions play back into these same chemical processes which further constitute the likelihood that certain actions will be pursued, and that the morphogenetic adaptability of the mind in its relation to body is influenced by the environment in which a person finds themself, including those whom the person comes in contact with, as a person reacts to the electromagnetic expression displayed by said person or need take certain action to navigate their environment. implied then, is that in order to cultivate a particular mindset of success or motivation one should associate themself with those or environments of like predisposition that facilitate the desired paradigm shift, making the persons intentions reality.
>>
as we know from the butterfly effect, every idea conveyed in a conversation has no choice but to effect the mind and also therefore body of those engaging in said conversation, as the resulting electromagnetic shift splits and fractalizes in an ever complex matrix of cause and effect. this means to say that by the act of simply being born one has attained immortality, as the effect one has made on this dimensional reality will reverberate throughout time unerringly. we most notably see examples of this when we recant the works of artists past, but each individual will throughout their lifetime be effecting this dimension every single moment of their existence and subsequently forever afterwards. in regards to free will, to say that despite inevitably adapting to ones environment which is exterior to himself one does not have control over the course of their life, implies that perhaps everything that has happened or ever will happen has already taken place, and that whatever power lie behind laying down the foundation and timeline of this "cosmic play" are not bound to the confines of time.

Jesus fuck, seratonin does not affect decision making. It only affects emotions and that's it. If you're an adult, you should be able to make decisions without letting your emotions get in the way. I know I can. I have a seratonin imbalance and my free will was never compromised.

Most people have no idea how low a function their "mind" is. For the great mass of humanity, what passes for thought is a mix of animal instinct, desire, neuroses, and emotionality. Thought which isn't shaped by those is quite rare.
And I'm not claiming anything for myself.

That's because the vast majority of people don't believe in mysticism. They don't believe that humans have three selves occupying the same space. People tend to only pay attention to the physical world and strengthen their physical selves. They tend to completely neglect their spiritual self and might strengthen their mind a bit.

What is the difference between strengthening ones spiritual self and ones mind?
>>
>>16989870
The teacher William Bloom says that the spiritual process and the psychological process are essentially the same. To "strengthen" our minds we need to clear out old patterns of behaviour and emotional wounding, which helps to clear our perception and mental clarity. It also implies that we become more aware of ourselves as compassionate beings connected to others and to our world.

You don't. When your mood is altered, so are your actions and you can't always be aware of that mechanism

Mental strength and endurance is about wit, intelligence, and discrimination (not in a bigoted way, but as in "I choose A over B for reasons").
Spiritual strength and endurance is about perseverance, compassion, and maintaining principles through adversity.
