The body is a big complex set of biological processes intertwined with many external processes; one of the emergent results of this is consciousness

Free will is real because I am the cohesion of the processes and whatever that cohesion does is the expression of my/its will

Also there's no such thing as the self or the individual and all difference is illusory (but in a totally material sense)
