I was watching a science programme recently which demonstrated the fact that the brain registers a decision 6 seconds before the person actually makes the decision with his conscious mind!
It was a repeatable experiment which showed consistent results.
It tells me that the subconscious (?) is way ahead or us.
The opening ceremony in a lodge perhaps might demonstrate something along this line. The Master passes the demands down through the officers of the lodge using the two deacons... one bears the message to the other and then the other carries it along to the next stage..
What do you think?

A person doesn’t realize that his inner system of desires has already made all the calculations and put out the result. Such studies prove what Kabbalah has been saying all along: everything depends on our desire, and not on our external, philosophic...
Which brings us to the Jnr Deacon... and the subject of Free Will.
The Spirit can send the message/command via the SD to the Soul (SW) and the soul uses the JD to relay that to the individual's intellect (JW). But if the JD represents the lower mind or desire body, one can see how the message or command might be misinterpreted, jumbled or deliberately ignored... free will.

RE driving the car decisions... if, as some suggest, the mind does not reside in the brain but rather uses it AND if all brains are connected at a higher level, then the 6 second delay would apply to all and everything. What is about to happen 'here' already happened 'there'.
