Determinism

Both free will and determinism are aspects that coexist within a broader continuum, as suggested by the teachings provided. This framework posits that both concepts—free will, which refers to the ability to make choices independent of external constraints, and determinism, which asserts that all events are caused by prior events and natural laws—can be reconciled within a unified understanding of human action and existence. Together, they highlight the complex interplay between individual choice and external forces, contributing to a more comprehensive view of reality and human agency.

Free will allows for choices even in the context of death

Continuity teaches that events are linked through a chain of causes and effects, even when seen as deterministic
