No, but it’s something I’ve heard other people describe. I don’t know if it’s common, but it doesn’t sound odd.
People at church when I went as a kid would talk about a sense of feeling guided. People talked about feeling “called” to something. I always felt a lot of nothing, but I don’t think most of them were lying about that feeling, even if I suspect a different source than they did.
that sense of being guided is just free will, most people really don’t have it/experience it often to realize this because they’re effectively stuck in the labor trap. perpetually struggling for the basic survival needs of food/water/shelter that their brain barely considers the higher needs of self actualization and all that other rich-people problem shit.
religion is popular with poor people (because it’s makes accepting you have no/limited agency easier to swallow, i guess?) and dumb people who like give up their free will (because making choices scares them i assume?)
