A chain of causes and effects, stretching back to the beginning of time.
Just like the reason you're on 4chan, asking that question now, probably has something to do with a thing you thought about or did, ten years ago.

The universal is acausal and free will exists cope. This is the same reason why everyone ITT is both right and wrong at the same time. An individual having an Ego is basically like how a celestial body in space bends space-time. The purpose of the brain is more like an antenna, and can produce nature forces that influence the fractal nature of consciousness. The reason why we are all different is the soul, which is unique in every 'being', not just humans. Now just because something has a soul doesn't make it sentient. Having self-awareness is basically another level of soul which some call the oversoul. The purpose of the soul is to find answers missing from the past life. We don't usually remember our psst lives because they are locked away in the akashic records, which holds the memories of every soul ever existed. Basically a life library. Every life and soul is unique due to the PURE chaotic nature of the universe which can lead to infinite possibilities. Ultimately all of reality is contained in the self, it's an infinitely detailed microcosm. For anyone who has played SOMA, think if you sent a copy of yourself back in time with the same memories and consciousness, is it truly a separate being from you? Just be grateful for having free agency even though it's pretty small for ape-like beings.
