❓QUESTION:
I just can't resolve the issue with instincts. After all, if it's necessary, it's programmed, then my ego shouldn't interfere in this matter. But if that's the case, then there's no free will. Or am I missing something.
❗️ANSWER lee:
Instincts are part of the ego program. And the ego is a program, not a living being. You are not the ego, but you can think of yourself from the ego's perspective (identify with it). For you there is full free will, but for the ego there is an illusion. It is precisely created through the ego option itself to make the physical world "solid," realistic. Instincts contribute to this, but they do not determine your choice.
For example, you develop writing skills at the level of acquired instincts, but you yourself decide what exactly you will write.
Innate instincts are the "program code of illusion" that you lay down for entering the physical world. Which allows you, for example, not to fly off to the Moon at the thought of its surface.
