I think some people get confused and think that just because we are conscious of thoughts that means we get to pick what thoughts pop into our awareness. They pop into our head and then we are aware of them and take credit for them, but how can we create them out of nothing? I think the simple answer is: We cannot. And if we don't even have free will with regards to our own conscious thought processes, how can our conscious decisions be free ones? Conscious decision =/= free conscious decision.
