But I'm wondering: if our lives and events in them are preconditioned, then so are all our choices, relationships, conversations, which lead to a realization that I am not the one who does all that, only the passive witness. Which of course, is a popular notion in spiritual literature as well: "I am not the doer."
However, in my view this leads to a very scary place where you (whatever is left of "you" then) is trapped in a 3D movie, where nothing really matters, because you cannot influence it, relationships aren't real, because you're not in them, gratitude is meaningless, because no one does anything anyway, it's just "karma" carrying out its functions and we are all passive witnesses trapped in meat robots.
I hope you get my point, opinions welcome!
