We have debated a lot about free will. Does it exist or not? One position is that we choose everything in our lives ourselves. Another is that the choice was initially made by some higher deity for us, and our task is to accept and submit to this choice, assuming from the start that all of this is done for our benefit. What is benefit? The best path for our development.

But we have already discussed that there are no best or worst paths of development; there are simply different directions of movement and changes in your portion of the awareness of Divine Light. Is the path of water better than the path of air? The worst path could be conditionally recognized as the slowing of development, because stopping development entirely is impossible. But since time does not exist, the speed of development is not an essential quality or condition.

However, it is believed that there are common development plans for the Universe, and I exist only within their frameworks and cannot violate them, as that would disrupt the plan of the Universe. It’s like if my liver cell suddenly decided to become a lung cell or live its own separate life.

If a liver cell chooses to become a lung cell, it will become one. Why do you think you have less freedom of choice than a liver cell?

You said that I choose how my cells will develop.

I spoke about co-creation. You choose together. But right now, the process of your interaction, your joint choice, is not conscious for you; it’s automatic.

For me? Are you saying that for the liver cell it is conscious?

More than it is for you. Don’t your cells send you different signals, such as pain?

But if all my organs are working normally, I don’t hear the signals.

Exactly, you don’t hear them. But let’s return to the Universe. Who do you think determines its development plans?

God.

But for God, everything is a new experience. How can you plan something new if its characteristics and new parameters are unknown? It’s like asking scientists to invent something new, without knowing what it should be.

Are you saying there are no plans for the Universe?

God has no plans. He simply exists, and we exist as parts of Him. And as His parts, He accepts any development plans for His parts, which is independent creation. Why would He allocate parts of Himself within Himself if they acted only according to His plan?

But the system of the Universe is quite stable and harmonious. If there is no common plan, how does it exist without falling apart?

Everything interacts and finds ways to interact because there is no other option. You cannot destroy life and the Universe itself. You cannot eliminate God within you, or destroy God altogether. You cannot stop the process of creation within you. Therefore, in this regard, you have no choice. God and forms of His perception will always exist, or at least as long as God has decided so. But in all other matters, it is you who chooses how and what to create, whether to create according to existing templates and creation programs or to create your own program and templates of creation. Right now, you are creating this text, which somewhat differs from the common templates of world perception, and in this way, you are creating your world and your boundaries of interaction with other forms of perceiving Divine Light.

Wait, but I can’t create everything and everyone. If I am a part of someone, can I choose something different from that of whom I am a part?

Let's imagine an infinite matryoshka doll, for the sake of simplicity. Suppose you are the smallest matryoshka, although infinity exists in all "directions." You can create within yourself and manifest another part inside of you, or you can interact with the matryoshka that is outside of you. You cannot interact with the largest matryoshka, at least not directly. You can interact with it indirectly through a certain number of other matryoshka forms, passing your creative impulses through them. In this way, your freedom lies within your internal creation, while outside of you, you create within the framework of interaction with the matryoshka that communicates with you.
