The world is awakening to the fact that free will is an illusion. Our group is about using this powerful truth to enhance our personal lives. If what we do is not really up to us, how does this change the way we see and react to each other and ourselves?

If we're merely actors, and not the authors, of our acts, who are we really as human beings? These are just some of the questions we'll …
