Or to phrase this in the form of a question...what can the will be free from?

All freedom can be defined in two ways, as a freedom to or a freedom from. The idea of free will concerns itself with the freedom to choose. This sounds interesting at first, but when turned around it becomes freedom from the flesh. This shows the question fully dependent upon us accepting that our minds can exist independent of the rest of us.

What I claim is that there can be no freedom from the body, the brain or our many nerve endings, nor does there have to be, because it's the only entity. When the entity making the choices is the same thing as the one constraining the choices, the will goes unchained.
