Hallie and I continue our conversation on free will, diving into the concept of transcendence. We discuss how beliefs are shaped by experiences and perspectives, the idea of absolute truth, and how the ego can influence our perception of the world. We talk about the difference between willpower and free will, the effects of transcending beliefs, and the role of determinism. We explore the idea that beliefs are fine, but transcending them is really where the clarity and forward momentum lie, and knowing that can help us not label everything as good or bad, but enjoy just having the experience.
