'Controversial' study about possible ETI contact scenarios

[zenmaster]

Free will isn't really "free" in theory. It is more like a fancy term, or equivocation, for being able to apply will in any direction. The will does have limits, huge limits, dead ends in every direction.

I realize it is rare to use the will in this manner, but it is possible. I'm not going to ask you to 'trust me', just thought I'd through it out there for future reference. It is possible to use free will and you will know it.

I'm not sure how deeply I could articulate it. ...

Isn't free will also the "Law of Confusion"?

Law of confusion has to do with respecting free will. An example is our 'incarnational nexus' which is a portion of the creator - which is all there is. You infringe on that, break the so-called 'law of confusion', and you have deal with all of the consequences. The consequences are bound to each aspect of the creator that was the experience.

For what purpose would a choice made from ignorance benefit anyone?

That is how something new is created from the imagination. It benefits everyone by providing yet another opportunity to express themselves. There is nothing lost in the universe. You - your ideas - serve as a 'logos' for others. That is, what you have made has deterministic properties for others that are seeking in resonance (another word is 'love') with it.

This is why I maintain that Free Will is a mysterious spiritual inheritance. IMO, it is a mind complex creation to label the nature of the spirit complex.

The idea is that free will is always available - you are never 'compelled' or 'addicted' or 'enslaved' to some purpose that was not part of your journey in the first place. The idea is to find the path and use the desire and will to experience and promote consciousness as you envision. When you do this, the concept makes sense.
