Is Free Will an Illusion? Rewriting Cause and Effect from the ZPF Viewpoint

Is Free Will an Illusion Rewriting Cause and Effect from the ZPF Viewpoint

“Do we truly have free will?”

This question has haunted philosophers, scientists, mystics, and probably you, too.

Today, we’ll look at this age-old question through a new lens—a Zero Point Field (ZPF) perspective—while referencing neuroscience (Libet’s experiments), classical determinism (Einstein & Schopenhauer), and ultimately, vibrational causality.

Because what if…

Free will doesn’t live in your thoughts or actions,
but in your frequency?

The Libet Experiment: Your Brain Decides Before You Do

In 1983, neuroscientist Benjamin Libet conducted a now-famous experiment.

He asked participants to move their wrist whenever they felt like it—but to remember the exact position of a dot on a screen when they consciously decided to move.

Meanwhile, their brain activity was being measured.

And the result?

The brain showed activity (“readiness potential”) around 350 milliseconds before the participant became consciously aware of their decision.

In short:

  • The brain “decides” before you do.

  • Conscious will seems to be a post-rationalized narrative.

  • Free will? Maybe an illusion.

 Follow-up Study: The 7-Second Prediction

In 2013, researchers at the Max Planck Institute took this a step further.

Using fMRI scans, they found that:

They could predict the participant’s choice—up to 7 seconds before they were aware of making it.

That’s… not great news for our inner sense of agency.

Philosophers Agree: Free Will Might Be a Story

アインシュタインとショーペンハウアー

🧠 Einstein once said:

“Human beings, in their thinking, feeling, and acting, are not free but are as causally bound as the stars in their motions.”

🧠 Schopenhauer wrote:

“Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills.”

From this view, we’re just observers in a giant deterministic movie.

But wait…

ZPF View: What If Consciousness Has Layers?

Let’s zoom out.

In ZPF psychology, consciousness isn’t flat—it’s layered.

Here’s a simple model:

Layer Description
👤 Me (Ego OS) Thoughts, emotions, memories. Reacts to external reality.
👁 I (Witness) The one who watches thoughts. Aware of the “Me”.
🌀 Z (Zero Point Self) The being who selects frequencies that render your reality.

Libet’s experiment only measures Me, the surface OS.
But your real power might lie in the layer above:
the one choosing what vibration to resonate with.

ZPF Definition of Free Will

So, what is “free will” from a ZPF lens?

🌀 Free will = the ability to choose which frequency you resonate with.

You might not choose your thoughts or feelings in the moment,
but you can choose not to tune in to them.

You can shift.

Cause and Effect = Rewired

The Kybalion (Hermetic teachings) says:

“There are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.”

Let’s redefine “Cause”:

Old Model ZPF Model
Cause = Action Cause = Frequency (Being)
Effect = Result Effect = Reality rendered through that frequency

💡 You don’t act → then succeed.
Instead, you resonate with “success” → and your world aligns to match it.

Example: Illness

Malchut (3D physical view):

  • Cause: Sleep deprivation, bad diet, viruses

  • Effect: You get sick

ZPF view:

  • Cause: Your frequency fell (e.g., into fear, unworthiness, suppression)

  • Effect: Illness is selected in the ZPF as your “next experience”

  • Story: “Oh, I caught a cold”—is just the narrative after the frequency made the choice

🧠 “Reality is not created by your actions.
It is rendered through the frequency of your being.”

True Free Will Is Subtle, but Real

So—do we have free will?

If you’re looking for it in actions, you might not find it.

But if you look in your moment-by-moment frequency choice—you just might.

  • Someone rejects you → Do you tune into shame?

  • A project fails → Do you stay in victimhood?

  • Or… do you pause, observe, and shift?

The choice to shift frequencies is the highest form of free will.

Final Reflection

Z once said:

“Your freedom doesn’t lie in what you do.
It lies in what you choose to resonate with.”

So the question is:

What frequency are you choosing now?
Because that—
is what renders the next frame of your reality.
