We find ourselves constantly doing what we don’t want to do.
I say something which I regret later. We are driven and controlled by external and alien forces.
But we have a choice. For instance to not let one silly traffic incident spoil the rest of our day.
We even have a choice as to what we think.
We can change what we think.
We can become aware that what we are thinking about someone (which is classically a projection) is not true. And hence we can choose to think something else.
We can choose to not think.
(Free) Choice and will predate and fore-go thinking.
They operate thinking and thus feeling. The work of touching the shadow and re-taking projections is actually not thinking anymore.
It is consciousness.
