Perception of predeterminism: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

The revelation is not a result of cognitive insight leading one onto a realization but occurs through a forced and often sudden change in perspective. This creates the undeniable sensation that ones personal choices, physical actions, current situational perspective, and the very subject matter of their thought stream have always been completely predetermined by prior causes and are therefore outside of conscious control. Instead of feeling as if they are dictated by freewill, ones thoughts and decision making processes become suddenly felt as a vast and complex set of internally stored, instantly decided, pre-programmed, and completely autonomous mechanistic responses to perceived sensory input.

~~Those who undergo this experience often interpret it primarily as an extremely insightful~~ experience into the nature of ~~free will~~.

Once the offset of the experience begins to take its toll the user will return to feelings of freedom and independence. They may however retain information and realizations regarding their insights into the nature of freewill long after the experience itself.
