What is the difference between an automatic process with events happening "as a clock strikes the hour" and a free will choice? I have come to see free will as our personal willpower. Without personal willpower we would experience ourselves as mindless robots.
And I think that's why Ra is so careful about preserving free will. Then what about nonduality teachings who claim that there is no free will? I believe they are correct too! So it becomes really tricky to reconcile these two seemingly contradictory claims.
The distinction I make is that personal willpower is free will, and the process of lifting us up into higher densities is an automatic process. At the most fundamental level they are the same One process of creation. And at that fundamental level the paradox is resolved. At our personal level there is the need to make the choice as an act through our personal willpower.
