As a foreword, I see free will as freedom of internal perception and internal response; I don't see free will as total freedom with respect to external reality (I say this because nearly all external reality choices are constrained unless perhaps you have merged with the Creator, but no internal free will choice is constrainednas no one can truly control what you think or how you respond to things in your mind assuming it is functioning). I could be wrong on this of course.
The answer is somewhat difficult to interpret, but I interpret the common internal blueprint and experiences fall into the patterns of the journey back to the original Logos as not necessarily saying that all choices lead the entity back to the original logos. I read it as that the situations that each entity finds itself in, and the result of any free will decision of any entity, falls within the great blueprint and patterns, but doesn't necessarily always lead back to the creator. The answer to me seems to leave room to free will decisions to reject the blueprint (or whatever response that entails not returning to the Creator), but it seems to imply that rejecting the blueprint creates a predictable response that still falls within the blueprint.
The statement that "no matter whither its choices lead it, its great internal blueprint is one with all others" seems to leave room for choices that do not lead back with the Creator, though the internal blueprint is the same as those who do lead back with the Creator. Even making choices that do not lead back to the Creator can fall within the experiences and patterns of the entities that do choose paths that lead back to the Creator.

Say as a simple example, entities that choose to complete unity with unconditional love to all are on a path that leads back to the Creator; entities that choose distorted unity with love reserved only for the self are on a longer path back to the Creator (Ra calls the negative path the path that is not, and has said it is longer); and thus it is theoretically possible that entities that choose complete separation from love and forgo all love are on a path that does not lead back to the Creator; yet all three choices are within the patterns and experiences of the same blueprint of unity and love bringing one closer to the Creator, and disunity and a lack of love as taking one further away from the Creator.
TLDR: All roads lead to Rome, but you can go in circles if you choose to do so, using the same map and same set of roads that people use to go to Rome....but I'm not 100% sure this is an accurate interpretation of Ra's statements, though I do believe it is logically consistent with them.
