Just to check I've interpreted you correctly: You're saying that our conscious thought enables us to decide on the signals that reach conscious level. In this way, you're implying that our free decision in regard to how we react to said signals means that thoughts cause actions, giving the example of not having to order a beer despite wanting one. This 'defiance' of the physical impulse is showing that we do have conscious control. Is that correct?
