Unlimited

Our conditioning limits choice which must then limit any free will. As we realize our conditioning and let it go as best we can, there is less limitation. If we make good choices, our freedom seems to increase. With bad choices, our options diminish.

Ultimately, when we realize we are That (Brahman), the question of free will is moot. That which is unlimited has no use for freedom as there are no limits.

Knowing

If God is omniscient and omnipresent there is no way my body or mind can be separate from God in any manner. Religion tries to capture this human intuition of God or spirit in allegory and metaphor. It is also an effort to relate the ineffable to our relative existence. 

All the great religions begin with a mystical, intuitive revelation which concepts cannot grasp, but only point to. All the prescriptions, metaphors and allegories are just pointers. To come to knowing, we ourselves have to follow the pointers to our own knowing. Then we are no longer caught in religion because we are the knowing.

Present Moment

One can come to being in the present moment without effort if one simply surrenders to That One subjective source of all. We are that one, and always will be. With this understanding we don't have to know anything else. We are That, will always be That, and this experience is just That. The mind gets quiet. Thoughts only come when needed to solve a problem, and peace is under all experience. 

Pure Awareness

Awareness is pure potential because anything can appear in it. It is the ontological primitive because nothing can be known without awareness. Whatever appears on the screen of awareness is content. Physical objects can appear in awareness as can objects of thought and feeling. Awareness is the observer, the subject. Thoughts, feelings, sensations, matter, are all objects. The bottom line is that even the body is an object in awareness. We are not the body, not the mind, not anything but pure awareness.
