Free Will
In this, the very first (sequentially or logically, not chronologically) of the three Primal Distortions of the Law of One, it is recognized that the Creator will know Itself.
Free Will in its deepest cosmological sense denotes the moment, to use a linear term, in which infinity becomes aware, determining in this awareness that it can and will know itself. Prior to the emergence of Free Will (the First Distortion), there is only undifferentiated, undistorted, unpolarized, unpotentiated, pure intelligent infinity or unity. Unbroken mystery.
Through the First Distortion, intelligent infinity invests itself in an exploration of many-ness (the first and primal paradox of the Law of One). Due to the infinite possibilities of intelligent infinity, there is no ending to many-ness; thus, through free will, the exploration is free to continue infinitely in an eternal present.
At the “start” of this never-ending exploration, the First Distortion, Free Will, finds focus. This begets the Second Distortion: the Logos, Creative Principle, or Love. The Logos, then, using Free Will, taps the potential of Intelligent Infinity in order to create the Third Distortion, Light, in order to manifest its plan for the Creator-knowing-Itself. (See “Distortion, Primal” in this guide.)
From these three Distortions spiral infinite hierarchies of distortions, forming all that exists, bound or unbound by space and time. Each and every one of these distortions is imbued with its own freedom of will to continue the exploration according to its desires.
  • Questioner: Then each entity is on a path that leads to the one destination. This is like many, many roads which travel through many, many places but eventually merge into one large center. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct but somewhat wanting in depth of description. More applicable would be the thought that each entity contains within it all of the densities and sub-densities of the octave so that in each entity, no matter whither its choices lead it, its great internal blueprint is one with all others. Thusly its experiences will fall into the patterns of the journey back to the original Logos. This is done through free will but the materials from which choices can be made are one blueprint. – 71.13
The exercise of free will Ra often refers to as an exercise in confusion, preferring to call the Law of Free Will the Law of Confusion. (See the entry of the same name in this book.) They describe this fundamental, innate, choice-making quality of existence as one that offers a “free reach.”
  • Free will does not allow, nor would predetermination disallow, experiential distortions. Rather the Law of Confusion offers a free reach for the energies of each mind/body/spirit complex. – 54.13
  • [Thus…] each entity is free to accept, reject, or ignore the mind/body/spirit complexes about it and ignore the creation itself. – 10.12
Entities may polarize based on how they relate to free will—those of negative polarity seeking to control, manipulate, and abridge the free will of all other beings; those of positive polarity seeking to accept, honor, and support the free will of all other beings.
Ra: We may note the situation wherein an entity gets a road map which is poorly marked and, in fact, is quite incorrect. The entity sets out to its destination. It wishes only to reach the point of destination but, becoming confused by the faulty authority and not knowing the territory through which it drives, it becomes hopelessly lost.
Free will does not mean that there will be no circumstances when calculations will be awry. This is so in all aspects of the life experience. Although there are no mistakes, there are surprises. – 69.17
