Our actions are derived from our thoughts, and our thoughts are generated from our mind.
We don't have free thinking, because our thinking is from our mind, and our mind is not a free mind, it is a conditioned mind.
When we came to this world, we knew nothing, and when we are a grownup, we know everything(we feel that we know everything in comparison to the time when we were just a baby), we have our beliefs, values, morals, we have our opinions of many things, we have our own assessments of ourselves,etc. However, all these are not inborn, they are just imbued with.
Knowing that the beliefs, values, opinions, judgments are not inherent with us, but are just imbued with by the outer environment which we live in, we don't have to think that they are just an intrinsic part of us, they can be changed. They are just attached to us by the environment, therefore we can detach them from our mind. Our mind is like a very big file cabinet which contains many file folders, and the beliefs, opinions, ideas are just files in folders. They can be removed from the cabinet and replaced with new files.
