Here and there, I’ll be sharing a short text, like the one below about the “Deception of Choice”, and hope for us to be able to observe together into it.
I seek not to entertain but to encourage you to come upon a free flow of unknown creation.
Suppose if i see or observe things through a screen (observer), the thinker may think he may have many choices or not, he may choose different options for a particular problem at different times and thinks he has choice to choose at every stage of life. But fundamentally his whole life depends on observer (past knowledge, memory, emotions, opinions, conclusions etc.); He(observer) can not take any decision without the help of observer, he can not see without that screen, he doesn't even know other way.. he always acts based on past patterns, Is there a choice in such way of life?
Suppose if i see things directly without any screen (even i have very little understanding about this), if there is direct perception of things it seems i don't know right now what decision I'll make at every stage of life, i may choose whatever i feel at that moment. It seems there is freedom to see things in direct perception because there is no burden of screen. Is there a choice in this way of life too?
Personally I feel that clean text put much deeper effect on me compared to text written in pictures.
Substack has got such a clean and beautiful interface. I love to read directly on it without picture.
I think you are right.
Thanks
Don't know and understand what this quote means ....but the mind is always confused between choices...the more the choices the more it gets confused.
Can you see, that at any point, any condition, any time,
You are free to choose?
Can you see that even at the depth of the most complicated confusion, you can make choices?
“Good choices”, “bad choices”, “sincere choices”, “hypocritical choices” etc.
Yet,
Even if you try, you can’t lose the freedom of choice.
Can you see that?
If so,
Ain’t that unconditional freedom choice less?
Is Choice even ours if they are presented to us in any way?
Right now, at this very moment, you have a choice, to read this or not, to comment or not,
It is so no matter what.
The question is how come the freedom to choose is choices less?

The way I see it,
Screen or not, observer or not, direct perception or not,
The nature of life is choice less.
In it, as it,
All movements appear, including the movements of choice, which we take as an expression of freedom.
But we can look into the nature of choice, df the absolute freedom to choose, and ask ourselves:
Is this something that helps us be free?
No answer follows such question if it is asked deeply,
The question itself is revealed to be choice less.
In not knowing, there is no choice.
