139: Meet Your Puppetmaster

We tend to believe that we’re all here as free agents out here living our lives and making our choices and dealing with the results of those choices. We do things because we decided we wanted to do them. We want things because we consciously chose that our life would be better if we had them. We eat because we’re hungry. We crave certain types of food because our bodies need those nutrients or because our brain has been programmed by big food advertising. Our emotions come from the thoughts we choose to think. Our hormones are controlled by our endocrine glands. Our nutrients (or lack thereof) come from the food we choose to eat.
But what if there were a grand puppetmaster controlling our behavior, our moods, our cravings, our nourishment, bodyweight and homeostatic body systems? Something non-self that determines our experience of life without us even knowing about it?
