The Real Me sits in the control room, and the whole person behaves freely when it is in command. If it is not in command, the brain and body get on with their (‘mindless’) physical evolutions. This is mind-body dualism again. The Real You dictates events. Messages come in, perhaps through the pineal gland. A breath of soul then fans neurones and synapses into action, and initiate new causal chains. There is a ghost in the machine, and the machine behaves freely when the ghost is in charge.
