Yes, I believe it’s more or less conscious acceptance. It just might not be important enough to pay attention to, like driving down the same road to work each day. You do it so much, you don’t think about it consciously, you just “do it’.
Yet it someone was to stop you and say, “HEY DO YOU WANT TO GO TO WORK?” they _might_ say, “well, no, but I have to.”
But really they don’t. It’s just a habit, borne of layers of conditioning and expectations… roleplaying without realizing it. But a moment of awareness, they can see it. It’s just usually not that important to people to notice, but that doesn’t make it 100% unconscious.. just patterned… if that makes any sense 😛
A lot of what we call “unconscious”, I believe, isn’t strictly unconscious. Rather it’s just not important. I believe we’re like Method Actors that get “into the part” and sometimes forget we’re acting most of the time.
Yes, but they might BELIEVE it’s determined. Still free will though. Someone else didn’t turn the steering wheel left and right. They _could_ choose to let go of the wheel and crash into a wall. That choice is always there.
