Do we have free will if we are what our body chemistry tells us?

So basically....if someone is depressed for no major life reason, this can be fixed supposedly with drugs...

If we eat well and exercise we feel and act well..

If we eat **** and drink then we behave badly..

Because of our body chemistry..


I have a lot more to say on this but I want to start a conversation.

Do we have free will, or are we slaves to our body chemistry?

As this is a bodybuilding forum, I suppose at least some of you still lift and take supps..

What do you think?

Is it a case of owning the mind or the body?

In my experience this is true - however there is a catch.

You see your whole physical body is a manifestation a spiritual essence, from a higher plane of existence.

By altering your state of consciousness, you can alter the manifestation.

But yeah, in general people who like out of ego are bound to always do the same sort of crap, because they are just repeating a cycle - this is the case with most people.

The reason that i can speak on this is because i have experienced both sides and it was only after going through the spiritual process that i look back and can see what i was doing was the same thing over and over, even though i thought i had an exciting life.
