Meaning, when I say "benefit anyone", I'm referring to benefitting the bubbly concept that I am an eternal soul here to progress via lessons. In that sense, my will would not choose this method, and if the veil is clouding my original choice (as some might say) then it strengthens my opinion that my will is not free.We live in a circumstantial, incidental, separated reality. Our conceptualizations are affected by that modality. If instead of the ideas of eternal soul and lessons, we focus on right now and the feelings that relate any and all distortions from a periphery of wholeness, we see that which is actually important and directly pertinent to learning (which is a way to make the progress, via lessons, more conscious). This has to be allowed - which shouldn't be that difficult because it is 'you' that you are making space for. Ra likened it to courting the subconscious.

The impression I get is not to use the desire and will as I choose, but, rather, use desire and will to manipulate my interpretation of the actual path I am bound to.You have a level of separation in operation there. As you become more 'honest', you actually will 'manipulate' according to your path. By manipulate, I mean create. And there is no interpretation on that path, there is just knowing. The processing of distortions will necessarily require discernment and interpretation, but the closer you are to your authentic desire, the more freedom and the less abstract or external things will be (and seem). 'Happening to you' starts becoming 'happening from you'. We create the limitations in order to reflect on that which has become separated.
I think the concept makes sense, only, as I have described, it is not Free Will but Limited Ability.
"An entity incarnating upon the Earth plane becomes conscious of self at a varying point in its time/space progress through the continuum. This may have a median, shall we say, of approximately fifteen of your months. Some entities become conscious of self at a period closer to incarnation, some at a period farther from this event. In all cases responsibility becomes retroactive from that point backward in the continuum so that distortions are to be understood by the entity and dissolved as the entity learns."
"The conscious entity holds both and will turn itself one way or the other or, potentially, backwards and forwards, rocking first one way then the other and not achieving the transformation. In order for the Transformation of Mind to occur, one principle governing the use of the deep mind must be abandoned."
