If we have free will, it is in partnership with conscious awareness.

Ostensibly, a robot could be programmed to operate autonomously, but all its decisions would be based on programming—responding in pre-determined ways to input data. Even when the response was based on randomness there would be no free will because it would still be a preprogrammed response.

I lean toward thinking that our bodies are robots, with no conscious awareness or free will, but that we have a shared higher self that is associated with free will, love, joy, and everything worthy.

It's a bit like asking if a $50.00 bill exists as such.

yes, if any will at all does.
