EP30: Heated Debate on Free Will and the Power of Awareness with Isaac Hadjyan
Episode 30
Thursday, 6 November, 2025
In this deep and thought-provoking conversation, Isaac Sian and Isaac Hadjyan explore one of philosophy’s most timeless questions: do we truly have free will, or are our actions entirely conditioned by nature, mind, and the universe? Bridging neuroscience, yoga, and spiritual philosophy, they examine how awareness, training, and consciousness shape human behavior and destiny.The discussion moves from Descartes’ pineal gland theory to Spinoza’s determinism, from neuroscience experiments to yogic mastery, and ultimately questions whether freedom is something we possess—or something we cultivate. This dialogue invites you to reflect on the nature of control, responsibility, and the subtle dance between awareness and conditioning.📘 Buy the book Art of Balance: https://amzn.to/4jAii7l🌐 Learn more / contact me: https://greatnessglory.comTimestamps00:00 – Introduction01:36 – What is free will and why it matters02:20 – Descartes’ pineal gland and dualism04:45 – The psychology of will and behavior05:26 – The yogic perspective on consciousness08:17 – Karma, choice, and personal responsibility09:57 – Addiction and the illusion of free will11:44 – Predeterminism and the laws of physics14:39 – Is choice real or just perception?17:09 – The limits of the brain’s decision-making18:49 – Consciousness versus the brain21:05 – Awareness and levels of self-control23:20 – Awareness, self-observation, and crime25:28 – Training, discipline, and learned control26:11 – Yoga and increasing the power of will28:06 – Documented yogis and control over body30:22 – Science, faith, and quantum uncertainty32:49 – Transformation through meditation33:25 – The cost of “free” will35:34 – Reason, awareness, and inner light37:33 – The unconscious and the light of awareness38:18 – Can awareness change brain chemistry?41:04 – The mind-body relationship42:15 – Miracles, healing, and the power of mind44:35 – The illusion of punishment and guilt47:23 – Free will, crime, and moral responsibility49:14 – Expanding human freedom through awareness50:56 – The unity of existence and divine condition51:17 – Closing reflections and gratitude#GreatnessGloryPodcast #ArtOfBalance #FreeWill #SpiritualAwakening #Philosophy #Consciousness #Awareness #Mindfulness #Neuroscience #Karma #Yoga #Determinism #Spinoza #Vedanta #InnerGrowth #SelfRealization
