When meditating, perhaps the very first realization is the fact that our thoughts come from 'emptiness'. With this in mind, what can we say about how much control/agency we have as human beings?

Most discussions are at an abstract, metaphysical, absolute level, which never goes anywhere. It sounds like your interest (and mine) is more practical and relative—“how much” agency/control do we have, rather than “in principle, do we have any free will, or not?”

Hm, that's somewhat disappointing. You're right, my interest in this question is mostly practical (your other posts probably played a part in this)
