automatic?

What is we were automatic ?


Say I (I meaining what happens to "me", i.e.: experiences that I am aware of) am automatic.
When we say automatic, we say that we do not have any control on what is happening now to/from us and what will happen.
It is like the Newtonian model of Physics, where the past determines fully the present and the future.
So all the "working" of the galaxy, stars, planets, earth, people around us, weather, our body, our habitudes, our past, influence our present in a way that we can not decide what we feel and think.
It is automatic.
That does NOT mean that it can be ANY thing... because the "universe" follows some "rules", and for example, if somebody throws and apple, it will go up and down, and not down and up.
Same for us: our behaviour will be "determined" by how the "Universe" works, our body, our mind, our reactions, etc.
So the automatism does not mean "random behaviour", or "I then can do anything...", I is more than saying "I can NOT make anything, because things happen".
