Yes, quite. Thank you.

In retrospect, the phrase "free will only holds sway in s/t" is stronger than I intended, but not much so. Clearly there is a purpose for and substantive difference between existence in s/t versus t/s. Although I would agree that Free Will is involved in t/s existence, it appears to take the form of selecting experiences to better allow the individual to further his/her spiritual progress through free will choices to be made in s/t.
Here is one pertinent quote:
Ra, Book III, Session 71 Wrote:However, while in space/time it is not possible to determine the course of events beyond the incarnation but only to correct present imbalances. In time/space, upon the other hand, it is not possible to correct any unbalanced actions but rather to perceive the imbalances and thusly forgive the self for that which is.
The decisions then are made to set up the possibility/probabilities of correcting these imbalances in what you call future space/time experiences. The advantage of time/space is that of the fluidity of the grand overview. The advantage of space/time is that, working in darkness with a tiny candle, one may correct imbalances.
During the review and planning, all imbalances are noted, and plans made to allow for their correction. It is only during the s/t existence, however that the imbalances may be corrected through free will choices. I believe that this distinction continues in the higher densities beyond 3D.
Put another way, t/s is used to set the stage for the actors in s/t to make free will decisions. For example, if an actor in an impromptu play finds a gun on the stage, the resulting scene will likely be much different than if they found a teddy bear. Still, upon finding the gun, the actor uses free will to determine what to do with it (shoot another actor, shoot the self, kill a bear, provide food, use it for improving hand/eye coordination, or perhaps use it as a hammer or paperweight). I suspect that the higher self finds no end of humor in seeing how we misuse the props they have strewn about for us.
What is not so evident is how this plays out in higher densities, where, in the absence of the veil, memories of past lives and the associated life reviews are available. I would suggest though, that the same dynamic is at play. That is to say that spiritual progression is only accomplished through free will decisions made in s/t. The full impact of those decisions however, is only evident when viewed in t/s.

Indeed, I agree with you. I was just pointing out that even modern science acknowledges that the vast majority of matter and energy in the known universe is currently invisible to us. Per Ra, this is by design and in spite of the most determined efforts of 3D humans, there will always remain at least some portion of "the universe" (i.e., s/t) that remains so. Note that this allows a slightly different interpretation of Lavazza's second quote than is typical. The more common assumption being that the higher "dimensions" are in t/s. But with this interpretation, one can see that the higher "dimensions" that Ra speaks of may well be within s/t.
