Not sure I agree with this. I think most people imagine that they have a landscape of possible choices or thoughts in front of them and they have some agency to maneuver through that landscape and modern research and even simple meditation will reveal that this is simply an illusion. I don't really want to chime in on the nature of Consciousness though.

There could be several types of thought forms that let us have the illusion that we are willing in related thoughts. Like an old iPod, perhaps. Consciousness is the most fun topic to speculate about, says the Buddha!
