We had a previous discussion on free will here. Near the end of it was a link to Thompson's YouTube series on the topic from his combined neuroscientific and Buddhist perspective. And here is the Thompson thread, where he uses Damasio's ideas to elucidate top-down causation, which presupposes ipseity and will. I personally prefer these approaches to Blackmore's more traditional Buddhist no-self perspective.

What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century? How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanity's ancient wisdom traditions? How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times?

This group is for anyone interested in exploring these questions and tracing out the horizons of an integral post-metaphysical spirituality.
