How free is our "free will"?

As explained in previous posts, we are blind and weak (in different degrees).

Our mind is blind because it is limited by our thoughts, concepts, truths. So we limite ourselves, we shorten our own possibilities, we decrease our freedom to choose.

Knowledge is not wisdom.
Knowledge can either be a key to unlock our mind (and give us vision, wisdom) or a lock to close it (and give us confusion, ignorance).

Our heart is weak because it is ruled by our negative emotions (mainly anger and attachment). They close our heart and drain our power to decide.

So free will is the union of
(1) freedom to choose (given by an empty mind - emptiness), and
(2) power to decide (given by an open heart - love)

Ø  Empty Mind is Infinite Wisdom.
Ø  Open Heart is Unconditional Love.
