Do Our Choices Originate in Our Brain, or in Our Desire?

A question I received: The article “Brain Scanners Can See Your Decisions Before You Make Them” states that, according to a research that was performed, “researchers using brain scanners could predict people’s decisions seven seconds before the test subjects were even aware of making them.” So my question regarding this is simply, do we have freedom of choice?
My Answer: A person doesn’t realize that his inner system of desires has already made all the calculations and put out the result. Such studies prove what Kabbalah has been saying all along: everything depends on our desire, and not on our external, philosophical reasoning. Thus, only the Upper Light can correct us; we cannot correct ourselves on our own.

The Global Consciousness Project proves that our thoughts are linked and affect the whole.
Using web bots, target words and random generators, the machines graphing calculators went crazy before 911 and other disasters. The Web Bot Project was initially designed to predict stock market trends when a researcher noticed what was really happening with it.
If anyone thinks even for a moment that their thoughts and intentions are not of utmost importance, then they are hurting everyone else. That would be that “Drilling the hole in the boat.”
Ahava!

A lifetime of traditional religion and several of years of tasting meditation, various forms of silent practices, mysticism, Gurdijieff teachings, and more could not and do not explain what Kabbalah so clearly, so precisely, so directly explains. At the same time that the ego finds the idea of being “pre-programmed” with only a single point of free will totally objectionable, it is also absolutely liberating. To consciously will the Light to bloom its creature into its pre-determined final form/destiny–that of 100% Unconditional Bestowal–wow…what a goal!
