one other interesting line of thought just recently for me has been the inter-relationship and connections between the concept of 'Free Will', and the notion of 'consent'.
Here, I am referencing Free Will as in the First Distortion.
I understand it better as everyone has the right to come to their own interpretation of a situation, and less about the right to do something that you desire.
Consent, most people would understand as being agreeing, voluntarily to have something happen or experience.
It would seem, during an incarnated experience, that Free Will (of Interpretation) runs pretty strong. In some cases, Ra refused to answer questions that would violate the Law of Free Will, in giving information that one had not come to by oneself - or entertained the possible outcomes of such information.
And yet, in all 106 Sessions (I just searched) there isn't one mention of use of the word 'consent'. Maybe that is a more limited human conception.
I don't think they are the same thing. Free Will and consent. I think they have differing domains. But there does seem to be a lot that we don't 'consciously consent to', and yet, we always have the power of Free Will to choose a positive (ie accepting) interpretation, or a negative, separative understanding.
