If this life is an illusion, then we're part of the same illusion and subject to the same rules that govern the illusion. I think random catalyst comes at us daily...many times over. Our free will is executed in our responses to that catalyst. We make the choice of STO/STS (or somewhere in between)...probably unconsiously our entire life based on our life experiences to date. Pre-determinism makes no sense if you take take Free Will in that context since your life experience is function of those choices.
Until we begin to awaken. At which point, I believe...we begin to question our choices and behaviors consciously. And act to change outcomes, or at the very least question our choice and motives after we choose to act the way we did.
