Michael Newton vs Law of One

[Stranger]

Within the context of Creation/Illusion, free will refers not to being able to do whatever you want, but to being able to choose how to react to whatever you're presented with.

That's not free will then. So are you implying that one should be okay with someone else planning a rather horrible life for them for the sake of "experience" or because "its actually fun but you just don't see that it is from down here"?

There is no "someone else." YOU wanted to be here, knowing that you'd forget why you did, and knowing also that you would probably not find this a fun ride. Still, you are not here by accident. You are here by choice. Yours, prior to the forgetting.

Imagine that a friend of yours named Bob is offered an opportunity to test drive an amazing new technology: a fully immersive video game. It's hyper realistic and challenging, so much so that Bob will even come to think that's he's the character he's playing for a while, but no worries - it'll end shortly and then he'll be back to remembering who he is and the game. Bob thinks, "wow, that's cool! I really want to do it!" and signs up. But once he gets into the game and it gets kinda tricky, he starts complaining, "I hate this! This is not fair! Who did this to me?" -- What's the answer?

And his plan is that all his evolving forms must pass through the sequence of densities before returning home to full unity.

What if I don't want to unite with the Creator, why can't I just be me? I don't want to be the Creator, I just want to be me.  Do I have a choice in this or will unity be forced onto me in the end when the Creator wants all his pieces back?

You can be you for as long as you want, as anagogy said. The Creator is also you, and he let himself-as-you have free will. Spend eternity exploring the Universe if you wish. That's up to you.

You know I have never asked for much, all I ever wanted was freedom to be me, freedom to explore and travel interstellar space (but I know this part will never happen). Did you know Stranger that I never really forgot? That I always knew there was more? I guess the Veil of Forgetting didnt hit me as hard as it has others.

Traveler, what I get from your message is how unhappy you are. Q'uo explains that 3D involves some unhappiness as a motivation to seek the Light which has been hidden. The flip side of that is that once you find the Light, it's possible to be very happy in 3D. As the saying goes, "It's better to turn on the Light than to curse the darkness." Perhaps there's something to that?
