[MD] Buddhist dialectic

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi MarshaV and All,

When I consider the brain, instinct and free-will accompany my thoughts.
What is the difference between instinctive behavior and the activity of
free-will in brain activity?

I do not accept free-will in unconscious instinct.  Consciousness and
free-will are connected in sentient manipulations.  The Sentient being
through consciousness, freewill, manipulates reality beyond the limits of
instinctive behavior and is held accountable.  The metaphysical reality of
free-will is alive and well.  I am reasonably held responsible for my
actions.

Joe
