Are you suggesting that free will is a feeling, not a characteristic of being a portion of the Creatrix? And that we should abandon this characteristic? What remains then? Is not the opposite of free will slavery or mindless passivity? Moreover, why can one not operate with equipoise rather than in fear? The idea of attuning one's spiritual path so as to avoid fear strikes me as being enslaved by fear. Do you regard it otherwise?
Fear serves a useful purpose in third density, it protects us from dangers, and free will also serves a purpose of making us creators instead of passive observers. If free will was removed without transcending it then it results in a psychological depersonalization disorder. My guess is that when we reach a high enough level of development, a high enough density, then both fear and free will are transcended, where only the serious kind of fear is removed and harmless fears are preserved, such as when watching a scary movie or riding on a rollercoaster.
The mistake in my view that even scientists make is to believe that absence of free will means mechanical causality from the past to the future. Causality is both from the past and the future so when we make choices those are more than the simplistic causality without creativity. A choice also has new information from the future.
I'm convinced that at the most fundamental level of reality there is no choice. We are all the One Infinite Creator without free will. That's why the question "Can God create a rock so heavy that he Himself can't lift?" is a false assumption. God doesn't change. As it says in the Bible: "I the Lord do not change."
