• How often do we drive a car with our thoughts here,
there, anywhere, but definitely not on the road? Did we ever ask ourselves who actually is steering the car? How often did we attend lectures - just remember school, - and our awareness wandered far from what the speaker was presenting? - Who or what made us leave the speaker's words and let us drift into a different

How often did we follow our intuition? But who or what made that pro or con decision in each single instance?
What makes us draw back from risk, - or go for it? What motivates us to do things we do not want to do? What makes us see a glass as half full, or half empty? Who or what made all these myriad decisions that brought us to our present state? - Was it really the 'I' we seem so familiar with?
But what about those two, three important decisions in our life where we knowingly chose one particular path over so many others, - did we really have as much control as we assumed we did?
