The creator is infinite. As seemingly 'finite' reflections of the creator (the veil being the main source of our finite nature), all things have already happened and occurred, so to speak. This is the main paradox of creation- if the creator is infinite, then there would be, rationally, no need to experience itself in infinite forms.
I believe that this is why 'the law of free will' and the 'law of confusion' are both tied closely together. This is the original confusion, the initial paradox of the Law of One (and any monism based philosophy). IMHO the creator choose to be that which it was not able to experience (finitude), and in choosing, made a finite 'choice' away from infinity, but in doing so, expanded its consciousness beyond it's infinite nature.
To demonstrate this point a bit; there is infinite space between any two points- and there are an infinite array of colors, although we put the ends of the spectrum at white and black. Therefore, the consciousness of the infinite is not the same of the consciousness of the infinite finitudes that it is currently experiencing. The value of finite experiences in an infinite consciousness therefore lies in it's confusion, it's distortion from infinity. The infinite understands all things, but the inherent value of each experience lies in it's ability to expand the consciousness of the infinite.
That is to say, the creator is still growing, and evolving as we are. Just at a supremely higher level than we are. At this point, I speculate, but perhaps the creator is an ever growing collection of higher octave soul groups, which have returned to the creator in their stage of evolution. Hence the seemingly infinite nature of the creator. Infinite consciousness is not awareness of all things, but just emptiness. The infinite only exists in relation to the finite experiences that it is experiencing.
This relates to free will vs. determinism by basically stating that both are illusions. We are given the illusion of choice and of determined events, but in truly, we are neither free nor determined beings. At a higher level, we are working upon our being, rather than our actions. From our being, flows our actions- and here if our being is 'pure' so to speak (harmonious with the higher self/creator), then the actions are neither free or determined. Actions react according to context, but stem from the being that 'determines' the proper means of dispensing such actions.
In summation, a great teacher of mine once stated on this debate by saying: "You choose to ask me this question, but you always were going to anyways."
The law of confusion is at great work here, there is no need to discuss such things. The state of being is important to focus upon at this time. Do not worry about the circumstances around you, the events that occur- the 'signs' to harvest. Only your state of being is 'important' to focus upon.
