If you ever have meditated or attempted to meditate, you see this immediately. There is the portion of you that is trying to get you to concentrate on your breath or mantra, and there are the meandering parts of your mind that are more susceptible to moods and drawing your thoughts to other things.
The same thing goes for reading. Sometimes you’ll be passing your eyes over the words on the page but most of your mind has vacated the premises.
There’s also things like instances where you drive to a place where you used to live or used to work.
There are different processes running for certain, and the mind isn’t a singular thing, but ultimately I’m not sure that anything is. I don’t think that any of this says much definitive about free will though.
