When we speak of choice in the context of the LOO, it means in regards to choice of polarity in terms of sts or sto.I'm quite familiar with the Ra Material (got Carla's permission to add book material to wiki.lawofone.info around 5 years ago, now βαθμιαίος's re-listening project).
Perhaps I may be more clear with a different analogy. As a spirit, we decide to go to school to advance. Prior to each semester (life), we choose what courses (life lessons/experiences) we would like to take/learn that semester. Then we enter the classroom and forget about our true purpose, our connectivity to the universe, to the One Creator. It is entirely our choice, while in the classroom, what to do. Though we chose to take a specific course, and though our higher self (OverSoul, future self) will give us the lessons to learn over and over again until we learn them, we can choose to work hard to learn them, to ignore them and learn them in our own time, to ignore them altogether, or to even quit class. Everything we do while in school is our choice. The arrangement of the classroom is even our decision, for the illusory world about is is a mirror reflection of what we project, and what we project is what we see. Everything.
It would be interesting to hear your take on our current incarnate condition with respect to how we do have free will, but as you say, no choice in the role we play (once we sign on for it). For example, if it isn't lack of free will that denies one's choice, what is it in your opinion? I ask because it runs counter to my understanding on what role is possible and what is possible according to the Ra Material.
