If you watch your thoughts carefully, I have extreme doubts that you are actually *thinking* three things at once. Everyone else's experience seems to be "There might be 3 things going on, but I'm only 'hearing' one."-You have made very good points and cleared up my thinking. Having never meditated, with no desire to do so, I've read about it, but I'm sure I do not undestand what you have felt. I'll be guided by your experience. I'll accept that over fMRI's any day. Thank you.-However, your definition of 'free' and mine must differ. you say no free will because we can only do one mental thing at a time. but I know I freely skip from one thought to another. I know I can choose not to think. As an older person I have trouble sleeping. I must carefully turn my brain off in the middle of the night to get back to sleep. If I seem to control my own thoughts, am I not free?
